  1. I know that another story states that someone tried to breach the security line but damn from the picture above it looks more like the SS are a group of old white men… are we sure they are not being paid by the campaign.

  2. Don’t start a fire, unless you live in an asbestos suit. Put away the matches and be a real pol running for president.

  3. Trump will use these incidents to rally even more support. Just watch. He’ll be the new “law and order” President who can deal with all of these violent thugs and his support in the Republican Party will continue to grow because of this.

  4. The Secret Service hires on merit - much like the military. If ‘old white men’ are what can get the job done, then they are used. They look like middle aged men to me, so what’s with the ageism?
