Opportunist Ted Cruz: “Donald Trump is Responsible” For Organized Chicago Violence (video)…
Conservative Treehouse ^ | Mar 11 2016 | Conservative Treehouse

Posted on 03/11/2016 10:25:59 PM PST by WilliamIII

This is quite stunning even for a politician as low as Ted Cruz. Senator Cruz has a prime opportunity to highlight the intolerance of the left. Instead he choses to attack Donald Trump:

At a media availability in Chicago, Ted Cruz basically blamed Donald Trump for the violence and protests that occurred earlier in the day at a Donald Trump rally at the University of Illinois-Chicago.

You want to re-think your comment above? You are whining about Trump while Cruz is siding with those that want to take your 1a and 2a rights away. This is way deeper than a pillow fight about some idealized definition of ‘conservatism’.

The news reports said that many of these 'protesters' -are Paid Protesters. This is the only type 'job' these dumbazz's will ever have. They're at the bottom rung and they'll remain there. I'll bet that many of these paid protesters are ex-cons.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn the GOPe is funding BLM.

I might be a Trump supporter, but bless you Rusty, and bless all Cruz supporters.

You guys care deeply about the USA and deserve better than this.

Funny how a team spirit can turn ‘wolf pack’ and dehumanize each other. It’s the leaders who shape the echo chambers.

Assuming the best in him [which is getting tougher], Cruz is simply not ready. Executive experience is also leadership experience. Cruz built the wrong kind of team for himself. They nudged him into this foolish position.

I don’t like this at all.

Same here. I have had enough of him. Ben Carson was gracious in not excoriating him when he endorsed Trump.

Utter BS from this article which is typical from that garbage site.

Cruz: "Now, the responsibility for that lies with protesters who took violence into their own hands."

Trump is however responsible for his own statements such as:

"I'd like to punch him in the face"

"in the good ol' days, they'd have ripped him out of that seat so fast."

"knock the crap out of him, would, you? Seriously, OK, just knock the hell. I promise you I will pay for the legal fees, I promise, I promise."

"In the old days,"[protesters would be] "carried out on stretchers."

I understand Cruz wants to get Trump out of the way, but this is going beyond the pale. Encouraging these protests is utter foolishness.


Agree.

As a Cruzer myself, when you see who Trump’s’s enemies are, it’s getting harder and harder not to support him

I started as a Cruzer and donated the maximum to this sleazy low life prick and now I want my money back. I was defrauded worse than any one that ever went to Trump University.

After this dump on Trump, and blame the "culture of the campaign" for the violence, the "Cruz 2016" sticker will come off of my vehicle and I won't defend this vile lawyer again.

Ted u can ESAD.

“Trump is a nasty peace of work” right, Cruz just lost my vote. I was a Cruz supporter this whole time. I’m voting for the nasty guy now.

So, Trump said all that yesterday at that stadium at that crowd to instigate the crowd? He said that to them?

Incidentally, he schedules those venues. They are his for those periods of time. Disrupt a ballgame and see how it gets handled. Disrupt a concert and see how it gets handled. Trespassing. Disorderly. We all know it’s true.

Cruz is a fascist,

Doesn’t Cruz know that he’s turning off some of his supporters? There will always be diehards, only natural, but others are going to be dissuaded from supporting him over sleazy things like this.

Ted is a media midget! I noticed that at the last debate - he is totally in the dark as to how he comes across. That lack of self-awareness is sinking him.

Lucky for Ted, I already voted for him. Now I’m thinking it was a mistake. What a slippery little fish he’s becoming.

Just could NOT believe Cruz did this.

Just remember, Teddy,... first they came for Trump.
