Desperate men do desperate things. This was more sinister than meets the eye.
I think your scenario is likely the case.
I had seen others suggest that the encounter was fake, meaning he set it up, said the Trump signs looked fake, but I don’t think it was fake.
I think Cruz was fishing for an assault.
Seems so. He’s probably somewhere in the Denial/Anger stages of Kübler-Ross.
Ted is a natural born immigrant. Heidi said so. ;-)
I watched the exchange earlier. The lies coming out of Cruz’s mouth were incredible. Really good to see disciplined supporters standing fast, welcoming and turning back his challenges. Go Trump!
Notice how a remark that Trump made ONCE (”punch him in the face”) is turned by Cruz into something Trump says “at all his rallies.”
Cruz does this with everything. Trump told the NY Times, secretly, that he wasn’t going to build a wall. Etc., etc., etc.
What else would you expect from a “cowboy” that wears $1000 cowboy boots. Poser. (according to Armstrong & Getty).
Cruz is using leftist talking points & social justice warrior tactics...what a mess he has become. He looks foolish.
Cruz lied again. Trump didn’t tell his supporters to punch protesters. Unlike Cruz who told his supporters to spank people who are rude to him

I could only watch about a third of that.
Gotten to where I can’t stand to see or hear whining Ted. He’s now on the same level as Obama and the Clintons.
Damn...what an asshat.
Cruz has gone over the edge....he wont recover from this.
Did you hear the part where Cruz says, “You’ve got to ask yourself one question” and someone in he crowd says, “Are you Canadian?” LOL
Yup
He showed exactly why he is a much better candidate than Trump.
He brought up many of Trump's inconsistencies and the NYT tapes that Trump won't release where it is said he admits that he's playing people. (Add to this the meeting with Gope where they are reassured that Trump is putting on an act at his rallies.)
He also demonstrated why he would make a better president, and how he can unite the party by acknowledging and having respect for people who are against him.
Basically Trump refuses to debate, so Cruz held an impromptu debate with some of his supporters.
Cruz is an "outside the box" thinker and fighter.
Brilliant move.
Ted Cruz IS who people think Donald Trump is. I'm praying that he will be our next president.
I think that is foolish. People don’t want to vote for a martyr. Cruz as martyr, hah!! See this article about a Muslim who may vote for Trump.
It is very risky as a candidate to talk to people when you don't know what they will say or do, when cameras are rolling, which is why they plant people with known, planted questions. So it sounds a bit suspicious that he would randomly walk over to people who support another candidate and talk to them with cameras rolling.
| Excellent thinking -- and very well reasoned. I think you are exactly right. And LOL: ...Cruz doesn't brush his teeth without it being a political calculation... The fact that his scripted nature was detectable is another weakness is a contest with the fast thinking Trump. |
Wow, just wow, that is some delusional posting going on there.
If you'd even bothered to see how Ted Cruz was vetted here on Free Republic, you would understand Ted Cruz lied through the whole thing about Donald Trump.
Ted Cruz is a terrible candidate and it's turning out, he's a terrible person. It's too bad you missed all the vetting on Cruz here on FR or you just outright ignored it.
CGato
Ted showed just what a petty, stupid, little man he really is, getting into the face of a Trump supporter. He just refused to see that he was getting nowhere, by telling multiple lies, and just kept at it.
What he demonstrated, is that he is an egomaniac, unlikeable, creepy, weird, an amateur, disrespectful, and should NEVER again be allowed to hold any elected nor nominated office on any level.
That one is hapless and delusional beyond the normal Cruz supporter. He or she just is NOT living in reality.
