A handful of Donald Trump's supporters played right into the hands of Black Lives Matter when they roughed up one of their members who was heckling Trump at a rally in Birmingham, Alabama over the weekend. From the podium, Trump shouted to the heckler "get the hell out of here" and told security to "throw him out."
...Trump added fuel to the fire during an appearance on FOX News when he said, "Maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing." Trump also claimed the heckler, who has been identified as Mercutio Southall, was "looking for trouble."....
...
So what if Southall had turned up at a Cruz rally and began heckling? I can't see Cruz telling security to throw him out. Instead, Cruz would have invited Southall on stage and challenged him to a debate right then and there. Cruz would give Southall an opportunity to speak his peace and then Cruz would take his arguments apart. He would have taken a piece out of Black Lives Matter without so much as an angry word.
The bottom line is that Cruz would have taken the high road. Of course, such a thing would never happen with Trump. He knows no high roads, only the gutter. Since he cannot debate ideas, he insults people. Trump is the Don Rickles of American politics only without the humor.
Of course, Trump's supporters will defend him to the bitter end. But if one has to write about Republican presidential candidates and Black Lives Matter, I sure as hell would rather write about how Ted Cruz debated a member of Black Lives Matter than write about how a few of Donald Trump's supporters beat up a member of Black Lives Matter with Trump egging them on.

You are a serial liar, liar.
Your lies started here. You accused Gratia of being a liar when You are the liar.

A lot of projection in the article.
Where do you get your nonsense?
How can any present candidate beat Cruz?
If you don’t like his looks, I’d say that is your problem. The people that have been putting conservatives in office, and have the cash to support such activities are solidly behind him, as are more grass roots contributors than all of the other candidates’ together.
Too religious?
Coming from a professing believer that is an amazing comment.
Hypocrisy rules supreme since the Trump show rolled in.
.
LOL
That's perfection right there.
Yet here you Trumpettes are, swarming yet another Cruz thread like a bunch of hyenas, yapping and nipping and clawing your keyboards...while you shout that Trump is inevitable and Cruz doesn't have a chance.
That's a lot of effort and a lot of anger over someone who isn't even a threat.
Don't you people see how transparent you are, LOL?
.
I didn’t realize what a troll you were until this post.
The Corker bill is what makes the Iran deal not a deal, and subject to instant undoing on inauguration day.
TPA is clearly something you either do not understand, or are morally so corrupt as to attempt to use it dishonestly.
At this point I won’t attempt to guess which it is.
.
We won't go into Cruz's accomplishments to date, because you're coming from a place of willful ignorance.
But tell me. What has Trump done besides talk? And don't tell me he made deals and built some buildings. We're electing a president here.
Show me his conservative history.
Show me the things he has done in the interests of conservatism and the Constitution. What are they?
LOL, you haven't seen anything.
Earlier a Trump fan, upset because Levin disagreed with Trump, branded Mark a stupid monkey, a chimpanzee, a knuckle-dragging buffoon, a fraud, and an idiot.
.
That post makes you the undisputed king of lies here.
You have no legitimate purpose here.
When others copy your lies, that makes you doubly the liar on that post.
As opposed to that red-faced, out-of-shape old man you support?
LOL, don't confuse loudness with manhood.
Trump is attractive!?
Ouch.
Yeah right liar. You know you are a liar and so does everyone else around here.
Ugh, you make me ill.
Right, I get it now. Cruz voted and promoted TPA and the corker bill because he knew he could change it once he is elected. And that make perfect sense to you?
We won’t confuse nastiness with being a nice lady either.
Invite a member of BlackLivesMatter on stage and give him a mike??? That’s crazy. Never give up the mike. This article is supposed to be pro Cruz? I’m confused.
” As opposed to that red-faced, out-of-shape old man you support?”
I’m not supporting anyone yet. I’d be happy with cruz or trump.
Yes, he is.
