Wow. Listen to this. You know how many people have been hurt at our rallies . I think like basically none. Well, this guy would beg to differ. Weekend of uproar, several of donald trump rally events. What police are saying about possible charge is a begins the republican front runner. Could the candidates be charged . Who was that guy sitting next to him.

Reporter trump is way ahead in the other big winner take allstate in play today which could be a last stand for home state senator marco rubio hoist polling a distant second or worse. But in ohio, kasich, the governor of that state, is narrowly leading recent polls. This country is in the about us tearing one another down or having fistfights at a campaign rally. Reporter kasich is too far behind to win nomination out right but if he denies trump ohios 66 delegates that could be enough to push it to a Convention Floor fight in july.
