"I hate Trump as much as the next conservative, but this particular episode is b.s.. Anyone who has watched politics at all has seen reporters push and pull their way to get close to a candidate. And by Ms. Field's standard, they all (including Ms Fielda herself) could be charged with battery. It's a joke."


Chin, I don't agree with many of your posts, but I have to give credit where credit is due.   Your post here is one of the few I've seen here on FR from a Cruz supporter, (or elsewhere from the media Cruz supporters, or even from Cruz himself), which actually tells the honest truth about this "episode", and you are (seriously) to be commended for that display of moral courage and integrity.

Well, thanks. I also thought the response of other most other GOP candidates to the rioting in Chicago was despicable.

For too long, conservatives have allowed themselves to be silenced/harassed by leftist thugs who've shut down their speech on college campuses and elsewhere. Here, you had a bunch of leftist goons whose core argument was that they get to decide the bounds of acceptable political speech. If they don't like you, they'll cause disruption and try to shut you down. Then the media hops on board with the "this is what happens when you divide people", and blame the speaker. Which gives the disruptors exactly what they want. No wonder they keep doing it.

So on the issue of "dividing people", I'm fully on Trump's side. The reality is that the American people are divided on a whole bunch of issues (and there's nothing wrong with that either), and all Trump is really doing is pointing that out a division that already exists. Good for him, because if you don't point out those divisions (and the left certainly does), how can you possibly fight back?

I do oppose Trump very strongly for other reasons, but on this stuff, he's right. Perhaps by accident/stumbling into it, but right all the same.
