Chickens#it...

Cruz chose to let them run him off. A “man” could have chosen to arrange for transportation for his wife, then returned to the restaurant and finished his meal, regardless of how many idiots were yelling in if face. He could have turned on his phone and recorded them just so he could relive the moment the owners and other patrons finally had enough and had the police remove them. He could have enjoyed a nice dessert or appertif.

I understand Kellaynne or Sarah Sanders choosing to leave, and I understand Cruz not wanting to subject his wife to this crap. But he came off looking like a wuss and gave teh protesters a big victory.

I understand your opinion, but have you ever been suddenly surrounded by radicals who have no limits on their actions?
I have not had that experience. I would suspect the first reflex would be for me and my wife ‘to survive’ whatever the next hour was to bring our way.
It would be deeply satisfying to go all Charles Bronson on those Socialists, Oh Yes. Maybe he didn’t want to put Mrs. Cruz or the girls in even more danger. People in that area already know where the Cruz’s live.

Ted may have thought this was a set up from Beto’s Team to try catching Ted hitting somebody over the head with a chair, or perhaps, a picture of Ted brandishing a gun. The whole country knows how much the Dems believe in the power of Theater and Chaos. Just look at the Brett Kavanagh farce.

That’s my thoughts. I’d have made sure my family was gone and then made sure the law drug every one of them off for disturbing the peace OR I would have engaged them in meaningful discussion. I know he’s smarter than them. Of course, you can’t really debate animals.

That is simply wrong.

When confronted by an angry mob of "protestors" the correct action is to immediately get out of the kill zone. That goes double if you have a spouse or others you want to protect.

Forcible response against a mob only works if you have weapons - and friends with weapons to back you.

Cruz had none of these available when he was ambushed at the restaurant. He made the right call.

Yes the "protestors" won this round. There will be more rounds to come, and they will win those too under the present "rules-of-engagement". If we are ever to win, it must become very unsafe for the Leftists to keep attacking.

Cruz turned the other cheek by simply stating, “God bless you.”

I agree with you but Americans today are totally mixed up on this issue.

One thing we’ll never see is a repeat when Cruz is out to eat in Texas.

Yeah!!! That would be real smart of him to give the media ammunition as a hot head right before an election.

They both finished their meal.
