Protesters repeatedly interrupted Donald Trump as he laid out his economic platform in a highly publicized address at the Detroit Economic Club.

The GOP presidential nominee was interrupted 10 times in the first 20 minutes of his address by a series of protesters. He generally refused to engage them, instead waiting for security to escort those interrupting his address out of the hall.

But after the 10th interruption, he made a comments about how supporters of Bernie Sanders, the Vermont senator defeated by Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries, had “far more energy and spirit.” Trump has sought to win over Sanders supporters stung by Clinton’s victory.

The audience in Detroit booed as each protester was taken out. Trump stood at the lectern smiling and shrugging his shoulders, thanking the audience for cheering to drown out the interruptions.

1. I'm not in favor

of making don the con and his minions look like victims. Protest outside but everyone deserves to get heard.

2. I'd much rather he be heard uninterrupted. Better opportunity for voters to judge him . . .

as the total nitwit he has proved to be.

3. I fully agree. The more he speaks, the more he gaffes (that is, exposes his true self)
