Despite Republican frontrunner Donald Trump's clean-sweep in the Northeastern states earlier in the week, the Donald doesn't seem to be getting the same 'love' from the West Coast.
In California, protesters have taken the streets to make sure he doesn't become the GOP's nominee - let alone the next president of the United States. According to media reports, protesters in Costa Mesa, Orange County hit the streets Thursday night where Trump was holding a rally, and things weren't pretty. As the LA Times reported, about 5 police cars fell victim to the demonstraters and damages worth thousands of dollars were made. The Costa Mesa police arrested 17 people "on suspicion of unlawful assembly."
