President-elect Donald Trump realized early in his campaign that U.S. IT workers were angry over training foreign visa-holding replacements. He knew this anger was volcanic.
Trump is the first major U.S. presidential candidate in this race -- or any previous presidential race -- to focus on the use of the H-1B visa to displace IT workers. He asked former Disney IT employees, upset over having to train foreign replacements, to speak at his rallies.
"The fact is that Americans are losing their jobs to foreigners," said Dena Moore, a former Disney IT worker at a Trump rally in Alabama in February. "I believe Mr. Trump is for Americans first."
Yes, US nerds were angry about training H-1B replacements, but how much could they have helped put him over the top?

You mean the video of a guy saying it was easy to make Trump supporters pop-off by simply wearing a t-shirt?
You think that proves clinton supporters are violent? As in they plan to go around hitting Trump's people's fists with their faces?
Yeah, what a bunch of hypocritcal fascists they are, amirite?!

None of your links are about project veritas.
So why did you bring up project veritas?
If you think a gish gallop makes you right, well it does more than that, it makes you alt-right!

Operative who was dismissed makes mention the DNC incites people to violence, and you don't suppose that creates an air of violence that other people react to?
And thus far the only examples of violence are towards Trump supporters, with even an assassination attempt and further threats of assassination.
Yes those Hilary people are just so damn peaceful.
You can't be that dumb.
