I highly recommended this for Mr. Cruz.

The U.S. Capitol Police have offered to provide additional security protection for Texas Senator Ted Cruz following angry confrontations on the floor of the GOP convention in Cleveland, a law enforcement source tells DailyMail.com. The offer of extra protection came hours after Cruz left the Quicken Loans Arena Wednesday night being subjected to taunts and boos after he refused to endorse Donald Trump and instead urged Americans to vote their 'conscience.' His wife, Heidi Cruz, had to be hustled out of the arena by a Cruz supporter fearful for her security. Cruz addressed Texas delegates Thursday morning and got furious blowback from Trump supporters and even some of his own backers, as they yelled out at him and demanded answers for why he wouldn't endorse Trump outright. When he appeared, Cruz was flanked by two security agents who stood guard and kept a close eye on delegates decked out in white cowboy hats and red, white, and blue outfits.
It wasn't immediately known whether Cruz had accepted the offer. The Capitol Police routinely provide extra security for some senators and representatives including some who receive specific threats. Cruz, however, already employs his own security protection detail. The force also contracts with local undercover police and civilian professionals to protect lawmakers deemed to be under threat. Cruz previously had protection provided by the U.S. Secret Service, but had to give it up when he was no longer a presidential candidate after he dropped out of the race following his loss in Indiana. One Republican lawmaker, asked by DailyMail.com about whether Cruz needed to get more security, responded, 'He's intentionally placed himself in this position and sometimes martyrs choose to do this and I think we ought to work together as a team.'

I think he and Heidi should be put in the back of a police cruiser that has a steel barrier between the back seat and the driver, and door locks removed. Destination: federal prison.
Suicide watch? No ... wait ... he’s already done that.
Unbelievable, I only heard some of the show today, but what I heard was unbelievable.
Nelson Rockefeller tore into Goldawater at the 1964 convention and he never became president either...
Seriously?
Trump and the GOP should ignore him from now on. He is of no use in this election.
In our hearts we knew Barry was right.
Why would anyone think that?
I highly recommended this for Mr. Cruz.
BS. Violence is always from the left.
Give me a break. This is over the top. I never heard of losers receiving increased security.
Hey, if you were an anointed king, you’d want a beefed up security detail, too.
Good grief! Nobody was going to hurt the little pansy. His handlers just want people to think Trump supporters are violent.
This gem came from the Daily Mail UK?
Riiiiiiiiight.
I’ll call BS on it.
I don’t think even Cruz could come up with a Drama Queen move like this. (And I’m one of the folks who not only supported him but actually donated to his campaign....)
...now, how do I get my money back?
Where were the police when Cruz’s father
helped murder JFK ... and then flee to Canada
to work for the Bushes?

And the BLM pukes...
This is probably attention-getting behavior from Cruz-and he wasn’t too concerned about his safety to start using that tantrum he threw in public to start raising funds today for himself-probably for his re-election campaign in 2018...
Even more proof of his not so much anymore covert establishment status.
“Ted” (not his real name) Cruz - the sealed records man who never was.
