“He’s trying to play the hero now and he is not the hero.”

I agree Ted is trying to play hero but instead is a zero. Pretty stupid move for supposedly being so brilliant.

I’m just pointing out that Trump has called for violence in his speeches at his rallies.

He’s not an innocent little baby.

Although he acts like a baby a lot of the time.

I’m not blaming Trump for the riot per se, but he is responsible for ginning up people to a riot mentality.

No, it would not.

It would be childish playground talk.

Grownups don’t advocate kicking butt.

Ted Cruz lost tons of supporters tonight and as far as I am concerned the Tea Party and The GOP just died tonight!! https://t.co/pq2cR6RNbP— Laura Stietz(@laura_stietz) March 12, 2016

You’ve made your irrational point and very few agree with you. Riot mentality has been documented as being ginned up by the BLM and Soros pros. But take heart. Limbaugh will be there at your side on Monday, praising saint Cruz to the skies. Still, from the sound of comments on this site, it looks like lots of other folks will be saying buh bye to Cruz.

Democrat/Leftists do it all the time.

Harry Reid talks about Republican obstructionist with “bomb vests strapped to their backs” etc. etc. The filth that comes out of the mouth of ignorant savage racists like John Lewis amounts to incitement to violence.

You and I both could go on and on about the horrid excesses of speech AND actions against hard-working, flag-waving, God-fearing Americans...

I just hope you stand as valiantly and as indignantly against our enemies at home as you do against our only candidate who has it in him to push back.

Your reply has nothing whatsoever to do with the point I’m making......once again I post an unfavorable trump comment, and as usual I don’t get reasoned rebuttal. Just attacks, insults and deflection to another topic. Sort of the same thing your hero does becuase he has nothing other then hyperbole. You need to take your meds.....

A woman wears a fitted dress and high heels and goes out to meet friends at a restaurant. On the way home in the evening, a gang of men rape the woman. They say she brought it on herself by wearing clothing that made the men horny.

Courtrooms have been rejecting this theory of rape for almost 40 years now. But you still hear it today among political losers who want to blame the frontrunner for violence caused by “disenfranchised” entitlement scum.

The scum were, in turn, produced by decades of lib/Dem/prog policies and GOPe collusion.

The fact that you think my post represents “machismo” is interesting.

Deescalating situations like this is exactly the kind of thing a president has to do, and it doesn’t take machismo. It does take the bigger man, however. Trump, like Obama, has thin skin and can’t be the bigger man. He predictably reacts by lashing out. Putin and the like will put Trump’s childish temperament to good use, just like they did Obama.

Trump was confronted with idiotic violent morons. All presidents will be.

He, like Obama, failed the test.

Trump failed in his response.

If only they were “just blaming” Cruz and his supporters for pointing out the obvious truth. No, they are going way beyond that. To the point of insanity. They’re going to need all those Cruz supporters they are pissing off if Trump wins the nomination.

But it will be too late, come November. Unintended consequences of sublime stupidity (giving them the benefit of the doubt here that it IS merely stupidity and not some kind of ‘agenda’).
