I fail to see where Cruz “getting into the face of a Trump supporter” if anything he took the childish insults hurled at him, remained calm and was very respectful. By replying to someone in these threads stating to get off your knees you’ve perfectly pointed out what many are witnessing; the extreme lack of RESPECTFUL political discourse as was shared by this protester. 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.
With respect to Glenn Beck, I at one time was a fan but no longer. He has become a carnival act and detrimental to Cruz. You and I agree on this point no question.
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 usual if thatbisbthebwisdom that rules the day. It reminds me of Code Pink
JUST WHAT WAS RESPECTFUL ABOUT CRUZ CALLING THE PROTESTER A "CHUMP" ?
Since Cruz follows whatever Beck tells him to do, one has to wonder about his judgement.
After all of this time, EVERYONE know what Cruz has to say. Yet Cruz put down everything that the protester had to say and just kept on with his memorized speech, even when interrupted by very funny quips.
You and I have extremely different views about this.
