my guess, the more they protest, the more votes Trump winds up getting in the end.
this election will probably be a big time blowout for Trump if the republicans let him run.

They can't answer because they're really protesting Obama and THINK they're protesting Trump.

I hear there are "paid" protesters. Think they would openly admit that?

Of course not and you're right, they're on 'team' whoever to make Trump look bad.

In a sense there may be paid protesters. To the extent Black lives Matter are an organization, like Operation Push, they have paid organizers, much like unions do. Some of these people will be at demonstrations. As a matter of fact, if you've ever been in a union, chances are you will have received a phone call asking you to go to this or that picket line or protest.
I don't think paid protester exist like the old Pinkerton Men who would break legs and such. I don't think even the Teamsters have people on salary like that anymore. The Feds live to find people like that.

All sides use paid protestors and other flunkies
The idea that Clinton or Sanders are using paid protestors is pretty silly. There are plenty of left wing groups - farther to the left than even Sanders - who love to just create chaos and embarrassment. Believe it or not they don't even thing Sanders is close to being Socialist. You see signs with "revcom.us" web address that is Revolutionary Communist Party. A far-out cult that dances to it's own tune. No candidates has anything to do with them, but they just love to get on TV and spread their web address.
Same on the right. Trump, Cruz, Rubio and others were all loaded up with paid bloggers, tweeters, facebook posters who were sending out viral posts to create momentum for their preferred candidate. Trump especially because he's a professional promoter has people who know the marketing rope of creating a WWE type audience of crazed viewers.
Yesterday I saw a Twitter post that was clearly intended to gin up anti-Muslim sentiment. The post contained a graphic of cops walking out of what looked like a home with a big white box on a hand-truck. The graphic was designed to look like a screen capture from a news channel like CNN, Fox, or MSNBC even though none of those brands appeared. It said something like "breaking news 9 Police find 6 white female bodies dead in freezer chest in apartment abandoned by male Muslim immigrants."
Upon further review it was obvious that the link went to an entire site that was a hoax. It was right out of something like The Onion, except clearly intended to gin up hate.
Everyone has a responsibility in this period to really check stuff out before they re-tweet it or spread it around. The campaigns are light years ahead of the media and the public in their ability to pull a fast one. Look at Cruz. He's the guy who spread the rumor on Iowa Caucus night that Carson had already indicated he was dropping out. Cruz flunkies were at caucus meetings using that lie to encourage Carson supporters to bail in favor of Cruz. The part that earns Cruz the sleazy tag is that his subsequent explanations were all B.S. and he knew it.
Of all these guys Cruz is the best example of a fake and hypocrite I can find. He pontificates like Mr. Virtue, but turns out to be one of the bigger sleazebags out there. He thinks nothing of taking part of a person's statement and repeating the clipped part out of context and interpreting his inaccurate quote to misrepresent the other person's position.

In my previous post to anyone who got the idea that I meant Sanders was paying protesters, that was not my intention or belief. I don't agree with Sanders on much but I respect him as a man of integrity.
On the subject of money, I remember a photo of King's death and Jessie was there wearing a tee shirt looking like he didn't have 2 dimes to rub together. He seems to be quite wealthy now. Much have won the lottery or something.

Is america smart enough to 'figure it out' by November.
There are a lot of dummies out there, "the right thing" is right in front of their face, but they're too stupid to notice.
There's the obvious and the rest of it is noise and false flags.

Excellent summation of today's world.
I recall just 8 years ago, when the Digital Age for politics, was in its infancy. Some of the sharps here were astonished at the overwhelming support Obama had among the younger pop segments and were puzzled at hoe he had got boty message AND funding. I had to explain to them how his campaign made multiple, daily use of FB & Twitter, etc.to end run the old media dinosaurs and get the message out.
On McCain's side, there were insiders who decided those platforms weren't of any political usage and not to pursue them! Astonishingly, obtuse and was a telling sign, why he got hammered,

Cruz spent an hour with Hannity the other night telling the world he is really sick and tired of the Washington political process and is not part of that group and never has been. He also stated he is tired of the fake promises and the payoffs to politicians who get elected by superpacs and the like. Looks as if he is stealing a page from Trumps playbook, he isn't to be believed one bit.
