Cruz blamed Trump, not the protestors

I think last night maybe just sealed the nominations for Trump.

It is a Wellstone Memorial type moment.

Voters are not going to be impressed Cruz/Kaisch/Rubio rushed right out to side with the rioters.

I am REALLY pi$$ed.

No, sadly Cruz said the key word “but.” I was always told when “but” is in a sentence, anything that comes before it is meaningless.

Cruz blamed Trump. It’s very simple. You’re either with Soros and BLM on this or you’re with Trump. There is no “but.”

Johnnie, you are lying. Flat out lying.

Or, I suppose it is possible that you have not listened the Cruz’ ENTIRE statement. But I doubt that.

Trump did well talking about jobs in the wake of this attack on his rally; we have far too many unassimilated, unemployable, uneducated blacks & Mexicans in this country that have affixed themselves to the taxpayers’ teats while waging a violent war on them. If they won’t work legitimate jobs let them work on chain gangs.

Let this be a lesson to any Republican who holds an event anywhere near a savage population.

On a related note, Obama’s prime directive, which has been obscured by the general mayhem he created, was to preserve the welfare state and affirmative action - and he has succeeded. The goalposts have been moved away from those monstrosities to added freebies (ObamaCare for takers) and a $15 minimum wage.

Donald Trump on Saturday blamed organized "thugs" for protests that shut down his Chicago rally and said the incident had "energized America."

In a country founded on ordered liberty, protestors do not have a right to anarchic freedom.

[LS]

Yes, it was all over Facebook.

[uncitizen]

Calling them “protesters” is a misnomer. They infiltrated the event with the plan to start trouble, fights,riots. Protesters generally stand off from what they are protesting. Peaceful and with their signs that indicate their displeasure. This was NOT a protest.

[savedbygrace]

You are wrong about that. Totally wrong.

shameful comments

Revcom.

Find the source.

Nope, I actually seen the whole written out tweet from Cruz.

Sided with the rioters instead of condemning them. No matter how you spin it, that is what he did.

Cruz sold out every conservative principle he ever had...which in retrospect doesn't seem like many. He sold out for what he thought would be political gain and sided with far left, radical leftist groups in order to try and score points.

If this doesn't show his true character then nothing does.

[JimRed]

...it turned chaotic, with scuffles breaking out between protesters and backers of the real estate magnate.

It remains to be seen whether the physical contact was initiated by the move on thugs or by the "I've had enough of this crap" faction of the rally attendees. You know which way the enemedia will try to portray it...

[magua]

Great Photoshop job.

I was just telling my son the other day about how when AOL came out in the 90’s our subscriptions were for 30 minutes of internet time or something ridiculous like that, on a 28.8 modem. We had this talk as we were streaming the new Bond movie over Flixster.
