He has given Trump tons of softball airtime, and was annoyed this morning when he thought the guest I mentioned wanted to question Trump's fitness for office.
Being for Kasich is a non-sequitur at this point.

I take issue with that statement.

The last of the Proud Republican Party was Eisenhower's.

It's been going steadily downhill ever since.

I feel the same way, but most Republicans don't, I'd wager.

It was interesting to see that the "law enforcement" who were taking the demonstrator out immediately jumped on him and wrestled him to the ground, while allowing his redneck attacker to return to his seat.

He's done it more than once. The response is becoming more extreme each time.

Multiple videos show the protester, 26-year-old Rakeem Jones, raising a middle finger to the crowd as security escorted him from the rally - before the unnamed supporter punched him to the ground.

INSIDE EDITION tracked down the supporter, 78-year-old John McGraw, who was unrepentant.
He shot the crowd a bird?

He was asking for it.

26 year old guy gets punched by a 78 year old and he goes down?

Think about that for a minute.

If some 78 year old dude had of decked me when I was 26 I would be hiding my head in shame.

Right and, if he does it again, he's asking to be killed.

Lemme ask you something. A guy like you must have been on the receiving end of more than your share of "birds". Did you deck everyone who ever did that to you? Did you deck even one?

I read somewhere that Trump often complements the police and the sheriff's at his rallies, intent is suspected to be playing to the law and order types in the crowd. So of course the cops need to respond in kind to reciprocate.

Couple of other things I read also makes sense. Trump needs these protesters for two more reasons. When a protester stands up, the camera pans and thereby showing the audience the size of the crowd.

Second is that this gives Trump frequent breaks between his talking points (repeated bragging and promises) without which he will have nothing to say.

So makes sense why he is promoting protests and crowd reaction. It's all part of the Drumpf Show.
