Sanders fans plot sabotage of Trump event

2016-01-08

[THEHILL] Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump could "feel the Bern" on Thursday night.

Trump, who is making an appearance in Vermont, the home state of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders
...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords...
, could have some empty seats in the house, thanks to the senator's supporters. They have taken to Facebook to urge other Sanders backers to sell out the venue in Burlington on Thursday night by reserving tickets and not showing up.

"No, I have not converted to a racist bigot," one Sanders supporter wrote. "I am just assuring that there are going to be two empty seats."

The supporter then directed hundreds of other Facebook users to an Eventbrite URL to reserve tickets.

"Please share and spread the word so Trump gets the message that here in Vermont, we only #feel the bern."

Burlington police officials have raised concerns of overcrowding at the rally because Trump's campaign has offered up 20,000 free tickets to the event, according to The Burlington Free Press. But officials say the theater where the event will be held has a 1,400-person capacity.

Trump took to Twitter to alert supporters that they should get there early since admittance is first come, first served.

#4 The Chinese were permitted to intentionally undervalue their currency for a decade to keep the trade going. In other words, they exported unemployment to the US besides the trinkets. They were allowed to get away with it by the Beltway party who's patrons profited by it while we were and are taxed to provide the social services to the unemployed here.

You're going to hear a lot about Smoot–Hawley Tariff and its (alleged) contribution to the Great Depression no doubt soon. However, if you use the metrics of the 30s to contemporary stats and not the cooked numbers and cover up used to describe today's economy, we're pretty much in a depression now without the SM Tariffs in place. So, you got to ask yourself if it was or wasn't the factor its going to be the bogyman it's going to be portrayed as.

#3 Trump wants a 45% tax on Chinese imports. I'm sure Sanders would agree. I think they probably line up on a lot of policies that neither would readily admit to.

#2 Didn't work. Trump crushed it, with overflow crowds, and the commies were too busy packing fudge to turn out.
