If you think there will be any kind of riot at a Bernie rally, I've got a bridge over some ocean front property in Wyoming to sell 'ya. Trump, maybe. Bernie, No. | |
| Feb 18, 2020 at 5:22 | comment | added | Shayne | @Micheal C , there was a fairly famous one during the 70s where Hunter S Thompson got into an RNC conference and managed to convince a bunch of young republicans that the cameramen where communists, leading to rioting. Its one of the most surreal episodes in 1970s politics, second only to the downfall of Richard Nixon. | |

It was also over 50 years ago and one of the reasons the U.S. Secret Service started providing protection to presidential candidates as well as the President. Now how many tens of thousands of political rallies by candidates running for U.S. President have occurred without incident in the same 50 years as the five you've mentioned above? (Three of which were not secured by the Secret Service.) | |
