What a revealing profile view of Cruz.

The permanent full facial sneer, set for life.

I fail to see where Cruz was wrong in this exchange and the meme like all memes is completely unconstructive. If anything he took the childish insults hurled at him, remained calm and was very respectful. The extreme lack of RESPECTFUL political discourse as was shared by this protester is precisely what this coming has been about. The protester and his merry band were infantile throughout. I am voting Trump however Cruz displays someone who even under fire in his face he can calmly engage in disagreement without being demeaning. I like to see that in a President who has oversight of such a large responsibility.

The point on engaging the protester was shocking for me in a good way. When all our politicians run from people who disagree and do not attempt to have meaningful dialogue then the gap to bridge will never be forged. He was very correct when he said the Presidents job is to hear all sides and points of view. Somehow this has been conflated as something as a negative when we should be cheering someone who has the fortitude to face challenges head on. Only the completely closed minded shut off people that disagree and not LISTEN to what another has to share. A wise person listens whether you agree or not and looks for opportunities to win someone to your side. The problem is when decisions are made upon emotion this does not occur.

If someone that respectfully engages someone they disagree with is petty, stupid and little then God help us if that is the wisdom that rules the day. It reminds me of Code Pink

This guy did a great job up against lyin’ Ted. Love Indiana!!!!

First rule of politics: Do not confront someone who is campaigning for your opponent. Not friendly territory and you can’t/won’t change their mind. You will never get every vote; be happy with 50% +1.

Cruz has a scumbag campaign manager

Cruz has used scumbag tactics in the delegate election process to obtain proportions of delegates that are not reflective of voting results (I understand it’s legal, but the concept of a person who got obliterated in popular voting winning on technical insider games is scumbaggery)

Cruz’s campaign manager and tactics are representative of him. And all this “appointed/anointed by God” nonsense, he could absolutely kaibosh this stuff from his surrogates, but yet we keep hearing it. Which only means that he actually believes it. Or he’s #lyinted

Anxiously awaiting Scumbag Ted’s exit from the national race. Bring it home Hoosiers!!
