Normally I would agree with you. However, the Progressives are taking this to a new low. They are literally undermining our electoral process. And no one in this current administration is calling for calm and acceptance.
Sorry, no sale this time.

Rubio might have won in the biggest landslide in history so doubtful there would be many protest.
Also, the Dems and media are responsible for framing Trump as a sexist, racist, rapist and the mindless among us take it to heart.
Protesting democracy is lazy and idiotic.

Not as much, because he would have never even touched some of Trump's (media overblown) controversial ideas (ILLEGAL immigration, refugees, etc). Basically done what every politician does...tell everyone what the want to hear. Not to mention his heart would have exploded from all the adderall & blow.

You answered your own question. They would have found a reason to oppose him as well.
That happens pretty much every election in history.
McCain: racist, bigot & homophobe
Black Congressmen Declare Racism In Palin’s Rhetoric
Is Mitt Romney a Racist?

Rubio as he is currently perceived: probably no protests.
Rubio after 8 months of general election lambasting from the media: probably perceived as a white supremacist (even though he's Cuban) and protests might happen.
This is such a good point. People often sited the different candidates that supposedly would have easily beaten Hillary according to polls. But all of those candidates hadn't been drug through the mud like Trump.

This is my point. The media has made Trump out to be the bogeyman (or literally Hitler). I would assume the media would be hammering him on something

Riots, no, but a few protests littered on college campuses across the nation. Certainly nothing as severe as what we saw in Portland.
But why? Wouldn't Rubio's policies on LGBT and AA issues be less far less desirable than Trumps?

True.
This has been the plan all along. The powers that be wanted Hillary.
If they didn't get their way, then all hell was gonna break loose regardless of who got elected.
Don't kid yourself. Rubio would have been made to seem like a cross between the Unabomber and Ted Bundy after accepting the nomination. That was the Dem gameplan. Make whoever is the GOP nominee seem like Hitler to the masses with help from a complicit media.
Remember these protests didn't just spring up. They were planned with ready-made signage and slogans, and they were planned months ago.

True
Every Republican is literally Hitler when they actually run for president. Only a hypothetical candidate is not literally Hitler.

They protested the bush's like crazy. Today we know how much they are like the Dems.
Posted on 11/14/16 at 8:50 am to STEVED00
True. There were go to be riots if Hillary and the Democratic machine lost no matter who the candidate was.

This is such a waste of time. All of these threads asking if Rubio, or Romney, ran they would have won are ridiculous. NONE of them could have touched PA, MI,WI.
And to the OP question: If ANYONE BUT Crooked Hillary would have won they would have been protested. It is silly because none of the 16 would have made it before resigning like cucks for some made-up story produced to smear them. The media would have ate them whole and alive and they would have cowered as career politicians. Huckabee or Cruz would have never made it out the primary gate because of their religion.

They've admitted, that was just "crying wolf" - along with the attacks on McCain, Romney, etc. They are REALLY SERIOUS this time.

Yes, because Soros' hired thugs have fundamentally changed Anerican democracy. He got away with Occupy Wall Street, he got away with BLM burning cities, he got away with mounting assaults on Trump supporters. I don't give a shite about prosecuting Hillary, but there is nothing on Trump's plate more important than ending Soros. Paid mobs played a huge role in the destruction of the Roman Republic. We have to resist the temptation to fight fire with fire and hope a real AG like Rudy or Trey Gowdy steps up to the plate and restores the rule of law.

Exactly. Every Republican candidate, regardless of race/religion/sexual orientation, would have been demonized by the MSM.
Now, Trump made their job easier with some controversial statements and some 12 year old audio. But no republican is gonna get fair and balanced treatment by the MSM.

Only those who are a very real threat to the establishment and their system come under such condemnation and opposition. You can talk about it all you like, but only those who truly present a real threat are the ones who will come under an all out attack.
Rubio talks a good game, but I don't think they fear him like they do Trump.

They didn't fear Rubio because they didn't have to. Again, even Carly Fiorina would have been ripped to shreds by the MSM. She'd become a racist, homophobic white nationalist within a day of getting the nomination.

Yesh there would be riots with any Republican elected. Or did you forget the whole "occupy summer", that was to organize, prepare and plan for what is happening now. The organizers of these groups ARE PAID to get protestors out to harass, intimidate all opposition.
