"In any campaign, responsibility starts at the top. A candidate is responsible for the culture of the campaign. And when you have a campaign that disrespects (sic) the voters, when you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence, when you have a campaign that is facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press, you create an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discourse."

Sen Ted Cruz - 11 March 2016, taking sides with BLM, Soros, Obama, the Enemedia, Illegal Invaders, and ISIS supporters in blaming Donald Trump for the violence caused by Leftist and godless fascist thugs

I think that ultimately the fallout from Chicago will work to Trump's advantage and will boost his popularity a few more points.

In spite of the left leaning and anti-Trump media the truth of the opposition he faces will gradually seep out.

Ted sounds like a democrat.

Remember the old democrat talking points from the time the democrats and leftist media tried to scuttle
the Clarence Thomas confirmation to the Supreme Court?

They said it doesn't matter if the allegations are true or just made up -

"given the seriousness of the allegations, that alone should stop his confirmation.”

There is no advantage turning he needs to do. The radical left has now directly attacked the First Amendment with thuggery and celebrated defeating it. That image will be a political club in Trump’s hand he can use all the way to November. And there is no escape from that club for people who did not immediately denounce the attackers. I have little doubt Trump will use it to good advantage, as he should; the left, and much of the GOPe have been absolutely disgraceful and richly deserve to be voted down.

OMFG, a reporter almost lost her balance. That's why they attacked?

Ted would have benefited from a few years in the service.

The BLM violence, riots and show of forces is going to backfire badly on the Democrats.

The left handed Nixon two victories, one a historic landslide, with their terroristic tactics. Reagan also rode this wave, though he had the economy and fighting communism as his major themes.

Trump could win in the biggest landslide since 1984, though it won't be as big because we've lost California.

Queer little Jenna, can someone buy her a clue?

I’d love to see any of these haters up against a mob, and watch them tough it out. Now that would make for great tv.

Sheriff Clarke: Protesters at Trump Rally Are ‘Anarchists’ Who ‘Advocate Violence’

FOX News insider ^ | March 12, 2016 | Dean James
Posted on 3/12/2016, 6:21:20 PM by UMCRevMom@aol.com

Sheriff David Clarke weighed in on the violence that unfolded at Friday’s cancelled Donald Trump rally, calling the recorded clashes planned “rebellions” that were “brought on by riot-starters.”

The GOP candidate called off his event last night, saying he didn’t want to see “people get hurt” after protesters packed into the Chicago arena where it was to take place.

“You have to identify these creeps for who they are. They’re anarchists,” said Clarke. “They advocate violence, and they advocate chaos to bring down our legally constituted government.”

The Milwaukee County Sheriff called last night’s episodes “a threat to ordered liberty in the United States of America.”

“These presidential candidates and their supporters have every right to participate in this process in our democratic state here in the United States of America,” he said on Cost of Freedom.

“And for that to be thwarted by these bullies, these goons, is downright wrong.”

The sheriff said he believes the Chicago Police “were under-resourced last night,” and should have been “able to accomplish their mission – which was to have this rally go on.”

“This rally was cancelled in the name of public safety. Why don’t we cancel these rebellions in the name of public safety?” he asked.

Or like Jimmy Carter's mother said one time, "I should have stayed a virgin!"

udge Jeanine to Trump Protesters: ‘The Silent Majority Will Not Be Silenced’

Fox Insider ^ | 03/13/16 | Judge Jeanine
Posted on 3/13/2016, 7:26:51 AM by Enlightened1

“Since when if you verbally lean right are you responsible for the left’s physical reaction?”

Judge Jeanine Pirro weighed the question in her opening statement Saturday night on Justice, in light of the recent violence seen at Donald Trump rallies.

“Since when if you state an opinion are you responsible for someone’s reaction?” she asked.

“Since when do you have the right to interrupt my First Amendment right to listen to a candidate for the highest office in the land?”

“This is America. Not the Soviet Union,” said Judge Jeanine.

“Your free speech, if it differs from mine, doesn’t mean that you’re right and I’m wrong, and therefore I must be silenced.

But that is exactly what the left tried to do in Chicago last night, and again moments ago in Kansas City to more than 25,000 who came to hear Donald Trump.”

Protesters, of course, have the right to dissent, said Judge Jeanine.

But “you cannot defend assault by arguing verbal provocation,” she warned.

“This is America, you cannot stop us and you cannot silence us. Beware the sleeping giant – the silent majority of us. We will not be silenced.”

It is tragic to see our nation now in the grips of Fascism.

We were warned.
