The dude punched at The OC Trump event - Cole Bartiromo

Familiar name, he is the cousin of Maria Bartiromo

His own video of the event in Costa Mesa has him calling the protesters, "pond scum" and "scum of the earth."

Below is an article on this sleaze bag. Although the violence is condemnable, I am guessing he antagonized the crowd.

Congrats to Hillary and her supporters, you have won, BUT....

This is an unsustainable system. Independents are the majority of voters, under the current system they are disenfranchised in too many States. I have read a number of over the line posts saying this is acceptable, Chris Matthews is going on about registering as a Dem if you want to have impact. Very Republican comments on both fronts, someone would have had to focused in October 2015 to vote in the NY Primary, to put it bluntly, that is fucked up.

My next step, to change my party affiliation to unaffiliated , in California I can do this and still vote in the Democratic primary. Thirty five years of being a Democrat is over, highly unlikely I will ever be a Dem again.

My change will mean jack shit, no impact on a state or national election, I hope it will impact those states that have rules in place that are not as democratic as CA, because in no logical realm can a Country label itself as a Democracy, yet disenfranchise such a large percentage of voters.
