Violence, it seems, now inevitable. Scores of protesters at every donald trump rally. There is a disgusting guy, put the ku klux klan hat on. Reporter in tucson, one protester in a white hood led out behind another, Brian Sanders attacked by a man in the crowd, repeatedly punched and kicked. What is going through your mind . Whyoat was going through my mind was, put your arms over your head because this Political Movement has gotten to the oint where you may get beat to death inside of a rally. I almost got my [ bleep ] ki cked. I just got beat in the middle of a political rally in america, right. Reporter this is Trumps Campaign manager, looking more like a bouncer at the rally, grabbing the collar of one protester. Another man pulling the young n back. The frontrunner meanwhile hoping his tough talk on immigration resonates. You know, this country has a big, big problem with illegal immigration. Reporter a key issue in arizona where Sheriff Joe Arpaio and governor jan brewer rallied with him. Last ditch efforts to stop trump growing desperate.

The opposition to his candidacy, especially the grassroots opposition is growing louder, lder and more organized than ever before. Jacob rascon, hankamou. Chuck todd is nbcs political director, moderator of meet the press. Good morning to you. Spent the last three weeks in rious parts of ohio, went to a trump rally in youngstown on wedn day, struck by the depth and the intensity of the support for donald trump. No violence there. But at the beginning of the announcements, to not douch i otester. They seem to go out of their way. Why does this keep happening at his rallies . I think you cant hmeelp but it has ignited his candidacy, ignited something. You see it. Look, his own words ignites something. Yes, they are now including warnings at the top of these rallies, but, you know, this is not the way the candidate speaks when hes at these rallies. I think that you cant help but say, it is on him. He is helping to stoke the fire here that in his audience and then, look, that in turn that invites other protesters who want to respond in the same violent way. I think it is i think we see an escalation that is taking place here that at the end of the day, the candidate himself is probably the best person to deescalate. Looking ahead to the next contest on tuesday, trump is doing well in arizona, ted cruz but according to the new york tiermes, it is the wisconsin pr ary on april 5th, gop leaders are focusing on. Thats when theydae going to do this 100 day plan to stop trump. Imcan you talk about this . What is the theory here and how ll this really work . Well, thats the you it the question. I d dont know how it is going to work. They have not fiiured out there have been plenty of people who are desiring ay,traegy to stop trump. But there is no single strategy that anybody wants to unify around. And there is a reason for it. It is the antipathy that washington has toward ted cruz. Ted cruz is the logical antitrump vehicle. Hes the guy that is most likely to be able to stop trump. Hes sitting in second place. But because so many of theibige money people, so many u. S. Nators and republicans think ump is thinks cruz is as unelectable as trump, so theyre not ready to do it. I think thats why this antiTrump Campaign cant get off the ground. Supreme Court Nominee merrick garland, we saw mark kirk thgeere, the republican, who has quite the reelection battle ahead of him. The first republican to come out and say, we should give this guy a hearing. Is this the beginning of something . Or is this nomination still very much dead in the water . I you know, i think i want to know what happens to chuck grassley. I think at the end of the day, it is in his hands. Hes ts republican senasoo from iowa. Hes the guy in charge of the jucadiciary committee. He can schedule the confirmation hearing if he chooses to. He also happens to be up for reelectiofo if his poll numbers start going south, and he suddenly feels vulnerable in io towa, then, craig, i promise you merrick gets a hearing. If he feels politically safe hoeending fiam on the no confirmation hs ring front, garland will noc get a hearing. Chuck todd, thank you, sir.
