Swanson provided mixed flavor Shasta for those gathered in support of America taking a Trump? He better pray that fact never reaches The Donald; he'd disown them all on the spot for offering that commie swill.

Are you sure he's actually "studying computer science", as in, in the major? He's 18, meaning the only way he is actually in the major is if he were granted direct admission -- which is rare. He may be intending to major in computer science, but unless he's actually in the major I wouldn't use the words "studying computer science".

#3, I don't think direct admission to CS at the UW is all that rare. In fact, it seems there are so many that there is a seminar, CSE190b, held annually just to provide orientation for all of them.

There are UW students who support Trump? What are they - legacy admissions? Did their grandparents donate a library or something?

Looks like these Trump kids did a good job trolling the UW and The Stranger.

From the article: "There are body counts, literally, attached to Trump rhetoric."

Trump is now backing single payer though wants to call it something else like Trump Care.
Be careful, you'll learn to love Trump.

Trump is here to split the Republican ticket. He is likely in the employ of the Democratic Party.

How much OT did the cops log for this non-event?

I was the person quickly booed off stage because the questions being asked were basically non-questions, such as "Who is Trump going to deport next???" My answer was "Bankers, most likely."
This was the ultimate in non-serious. Hell, the organizers preferred Rand Paul to Trump. What a sham.

@3 is correct: have to be Running Start with 60 credits to even do that and you need a 3.8 GPA

@1 -- The last time a significant portion of the population voted for a Green Party candidate for president it didn't work out that well. Or have you forgotten how Bush even got elected?

@21 More Dems voted for Bush than for Nader in Florida. Can't hang this on Nader, altho every freakin' Dembot in history seems to get on the internet and spread this misinfo.

"In a 2004 article Tony Schinella broke down a lot of polling numbers ... pointed out that more registered Democrats voted for Bush than voted for Nader..."

There's something about those, and all the other, Trump supporters I've seen photos of. Some sort of pure, snow-like thing I just can't put my finger on. I'll have to set my plate of unsalted crackers aside to ponder this some more.

Of course this is news, both the fact that the rally was held and the fact that so few supporters, especially student supporters appeared.

It's basically a hate rally, because that's what the Trump campaign is about. If a frat has a Klan-themed party, it gets reported, and so should this.

@27

Rather, why don't you edit it for the Stranger's?

A ridiculous question to ask you, but certainly no match for your foolishness.

@8, 12: Yeah, those four nerdy college kids look really dangerous. Maybe you should report them to the cops for monitoring. They look like they could go on a murder spree any second now, because they support Trump. Hell, they probably have at least 20,000 or so corpses in the basement already.

They disagree with you, so they must be murderous psychos. Get a grip.

@30

Are you supporting or considering supporting Trump for president?

Theodore dear, calm yourself - you're distraught. I did not at all imply that the students were dangerous. Just not very bright. It's a state university, it happens.

@31: No.

@32: Was supposed to be directed at 9 and 12, not your comment @8. But they certainly are not very bright if they think this would have gone any other way based on the venue. It honestly looks more like elaborate trolling on their parts, but who can tell any more?

This maybe some of the worse reporting on the election so far. And being worse than Matt takes a real talent.

Why do so many Leftists and so-called 'Liberals' have to be so fucking rude. Do you see gangs people showing up at Bernie's or Hillary's rallies to protest? No, you don't.

NEWSFLASH GENIUSES: Someone is giving Billion$$$ to countries that execute gay men for simply being gay; usually by hanging them or throwing them off tall buildings, often in front of cheering crowds. And who is supporting these barbaric, medieval, so-called 'relgious' regimes? HINT: It's ain't Donald Trump. It's your beloved current admin.
