The peaceful demonstrations have to stop.............. [View all]

They are Trump's only hope. I have two friends who are Repubs. They have been disgusted with Trump. They were going to stay home this election. They are fired up for Trump because of the demonstrations.. Really, 100 days in Portland are way too much. I support BLM but cool it until Nov, 4th.

Michael Steele on MSNBC has talked the same.
