My initial tin-foil hat reaction was that the protest, violence and "Bernie" chants seemed like a possible set up to make the anti-establishment movement generally look bad. As if both Sanders and Trump supporters are likely to bring violence and chaos to the country so voters should be scared and stick with their safe, establishment candidates.

The last GOP debate also certainly seemed like there had been a behind-the-scenes agreement to get along more peacefully. Trump, Cruz and Rubio had all backed way off on the name calling and attacks. Seemed like a deal had been made in the interest of saving the whole party's face.
