Donald Trump Has a History of Endorsing Violence Against Protesters

Conservatives like Ted Cruz are the real enemies?

Do I have that right?

[BraveMan]

What you have is a man who let his opportunism slip past the veil for all to see.

Exactly how is this “endorsing violence” against said protesters?

The Hyperbole being thrown around over this “issue” is laughable and exceptionally transparent with its objective.

The MSM and the rest of those pushing this narrative really do believe the bulk of Americans are too stupid to comprehend reality.

The reactions on this site are very telling on how this will be received amongst those who are not political junkies. This will not help the MSM, GOPe or the other Republican candidates, IMO, and in fact, their reactions will hurt them.

It wasn't hard to see that the protesters were the violent ones. If it was the other way around, it would hurt Mr. Trump. Those who were chomping at the bit waiting for supporters of Mr. Trump to become violent and riot seized upon this incident without thinking it through.

People are dumb, but most people aren't THAT dumb.

This is where I think Trump missed his Lexington/Concord moment. He had 25,000 supporters with him. He should have rallied them up and kicked some serious leftist thug a$$.

You want to change votes that would have done it.

I am a die in the wool Cruz supporter. I would have flipped in an instant.

But he just incited them then, pulled the plug and left. That is not a leader that is an instigator, a shiite stirrer.

I know I might catch some flak over this but I want a damn leader and now after the words from Cruz I do not believe I can trust him any more either.

But I can fight so by God I am ready to take our republic back.

As Clayton Williams once said about his own campaign, he “keeps shooting himself in the foot and then loading up and taking another shot at it.”

Cruz tweeting that a campaign creates the excuse for a pre arranged violent assault from protesters makes no sense as applied to Donald Trump events. All of the organizations involved in this assault against a peaceful assembly of American citizens have been around for years and exist for the express purpose of causing disruption wherever their employers order them to go. Trump correctly canceled his appearance because he knew that physical harm to his supporters and others was inevitable if he continued on with his rally. Both Cruz and Rubio have exploited this outrageous demonstration of lawlessness against American citizens hoping to advance their political agendas. Neither are fit to be president of the US. We need strong leaders, not run of the mill politicians who are bankrolled by a variety of self serving entities.

like I said, met him twice. just handshake and hello.

at Rock Plaza. looked me in the eye. didn’t blow anyone off.

Go to a BLM demonstration.

Missouri is on his trip ticket, that should be interesting...

Who is really inciting violence? Perhaps it is the foaming and frothing at the mouth neo-con artists and their open borders toadies, such as Glenn Beck, who have months comparing Trump to Hitler, and his supporters to Nazi brownshirts. Megan Kelly has turned her show into an hour long hate Trump fest every night. O’Reilly routinely has Krauthammer and Goldberg on his show denouncing Trump, along with other assorted democrats, and gope establishment types.

It is the unhinged over reaction to Trump that is fueling the atmosphere of violence to the point where Trump’s life, and those around him, may be in danger.

Obama has a history of agitating and promoting hatred.

All of it, the tepid intro is merely cover for what is know as a “Yes but”, defense.

Cruz is saying

Yes what was done was wrong BUT it is justified because the victim...

Anyone NOT welded at the hip to a candidate knows that is exactly what this is and will hold Cruz accountable.
