The first protest of this sort was supposed to have been at CPAC organized by the Cruz folks. Go figure...

These wusses sound like Democrats.
How can any of you vote for these three?

Since when do troublemakers have a right to shut people up?

“But in any campaign, responsibility starts at the top. Any candidate is responsible for the culture of a campaign. And when you have a campaign that disrespects the voters...”

Didn’t Cruz say Trump supporters are “low information, and uninvolved” essentially dumb, and doesn’t Cruz have Glenn Beck out there equating Trump with Hitler, and Trump’s supporters as “brownshirts”? I can make the argument that His and Beck’s rhetoric helped fuel the Chicago incident. Do you think Cruz will admit this, and clean up his act, or will he just continue insulting voters, and having Beck step up the incendiary rhetoric?

You have to admit when the Candidate stands there and says I’d like to punch that protester in the face.. Is in effect promoting violence.. When the 78 year old Pro Trump guy sucker punched a protester then Trump goes did you see that guy throw that punch.. That was amazing.. However the 78 year old is facing charges now!!! Trump has a big mouth and he can’t say whatever he wants anytime he wants.. No matter how cool you might think it is..

Cruz has dealt with these kind of protesters such as Code Pink and others.

He deals with these events better than Trump does and he has good advice for Donald.

Too many of his supporters take it as a foolish dichotomy: either you are with trump or you are with the violent protesters.

That is not the case here.

Rubio and Gov Haley stood on stage together a week ago and encouraged his listeners and fans to ‘hit’ people. As long as you label someone a bully, (whether they are or not is another story), if they have a label, it’s ok to hit them. Who’s set the culture of what campaign? Rubio’s a worm.

This is starting to get a very distinct smell to it.

Who paid this rent-a-mob? George Soros or the GOP cabal who met recently to “take out” Trump?

“I will never vote for GOP ever again after I pull he lever for Trump.”

Hold on. Let’s give Trump a chance and see what kind of deal he can negotiate with the protesters.

Trump is a really, really great negotiator.

I can’t tell you how many of my friends - I have lots of friends - have come up to me and said Trump can negotiate a deal about this.

“I’m open to any of them as the Republican candidate..”

I was, but I’m getting disgusted by the lot. Politicians are not a very impressive group of people in general, but this is pathetic.

“I think this is a legitimate criticism by Cruz.”

Cruz is toast after making those irresponsible remarks. Cruz just proved he cannot be trusted to hold accountable the actual troublemakers, but will instead dissemble, blame others, and lie to evade responsibility.

Trump is absurd to encourage his supporters to engage in violent struggles at his rallies.

What should he say as violent protesters perform violence? Let them hit you? After that then what? Let them shoot you?

This whole thing is ginned up and purposeful. First the KKK charge. Then start sending in more and more BLM protesters to every rally. Have them start getting more and more violent. And then ONE 78 year old guy out of millions of rally goers throws a weak, 78 year old punch at a healthy 20 something black guy. And THAT'S the proof that Trump supporters a violent and that Trump encourages violence?

Amazing. It's not Cruz's fault. Oh wait. Darn right it is because he cast his lot with the GOPe and is executing their playbook.

Not only did he win the nomination but he also won the presidency. In one corner we have total lawlessness sponsored by Cruz, Rubio and Kasich and the dems and in the other corner we have the rule of law. Hmmm! when people see this on TV wonder which they will opt for.
