Possibly. It’s also possible that every one of those idiots who even hinted that Trump brought this on himself could be shut down as well. Then what will they say?
Trump was nowhere in the picture when the rent-a-mob destroyed Ferguson, MO. What is their excuse for that?
No I’ve not been turned by any of Cruz’s comments. I’m still with Cruz and that is because he is leading by example. Have any fights or riots happened at a Cruz rally? The left hates him as well but it has not gotten crazy at any of his events has it? As for any insults implied about Trump supporters Cruz is always careful to make sure Trump has said the equivalent thing first.
I voted for Cruz on Super Tuesday. I wouldn’t now. It wasn’t just because of what happened last night that has changed my position.
I now support Trump.
This episode last night was orchestrated and organized by Black Lives Matter, LaRaza, and Moveon.org. Moveon.org is financed by George Soros, a convicted insider trading Felon in Europe. All of which, except for Soros, promoted it on social media.
> “Did Cruz’s comments change your mind on him?”
Ted was a class act when he said months ago that he would not attack other candidates. He changed.
Ted hired scumbags to run his campaign. He had no experience running national campaigns, so he hired people that he decided that he needed, or he was told that these are the people he would hire. Either way, he’s inexperienced and is not his own man.
Ted brought in Neil Bush. This was the beginning of the end, a break to the dark side.
Ted blames Donald Trump for Chicago. He blames people who were attacked and denied their rights. It’s not much different that Euro scum telling women they are responsible for being raped by Muslim immigrants because of the way they dress. This is the end for Ted Cruz. I don’t think he has much of a future now. He showed tremendously poor judgment.
Cruz Kasich and Rubio all had ready responses that were almost identical. They were prepared. Like they knew in advance. Hmmmm was it more than moveon, BLM, Berns? GOPe? Was this discussed at Sea Island?
I would have supported him had he won. Now.. NEVER!
No.
I like Cruz the best because he is for small government. The constitution limits the size of government and is the best of the four remaining candidates to govern in a way that respects the founding fathers view of the proper role of the central government.
Trump does not feel the same way. He is many things that are pleasing to conservatives, but he does not respect the limits of power that the constitution was written to put in place. You need look no further than his repeal and replace on Obamacare. No conservative would believe the federal government had the authority to do anything but repeal. There is no enumerated power to justify Trump’s position to replace, any more than the original ACA had.
You can cite many examples of why Cruz is a superior candidate for conservatives. But imo, repeal and replace as touted by Trump is sufficient to make my point.
And imo, after listening to Trump, he seems fine with a big powerful government. I sense he feels the system in place is bloated and inefficient, and somebody smart and brilliant like he is, will make it better. I don’t want to choose anyone, no matter how smart or brilliant to make a big government more efficient. I prefer decentralization of power. I want power returned to the states and citizens.
D) Cruz was dead nuts on.
(A) I still support Cruz.
No
I started out as a Cruz supporter. Then switched to a Trump/Cruz team now Cruz is history in my book. GO TRUMP GO
After Iowa, I saw him as a slick distrustful typical politician.
Speaking at a press conference, Cruz told reporters he “thinks a campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment [of violence]. When the candidate urges supporters to engage in physical violence, to punch people in the face, the predictable consequence of that is that it escalates.”
I don't disagree with that statement one bit. It does not excuse the violence, but it does state the obvious. If you stand at the podium and say, “I’d like to punch him [a disruptor] in the face, I tell ya.” [Donald Trump, Las Vegas, NV, 22 Feb, 2016] you are inviting your crowd to engage in violence.
When asked about how a disruptor at a rally in November was beaten and choked, Mr. Trump's response was “Maybe he should have been roughed up, because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing”. That is inviting your crowd to engage in violence.
When you do that, and keep doing it, someone is going to engage in violence.
So, to answer your question, no it has not changed my opinion of Mr. Cruz one bit.
Are there Ted Cruz supporters here on Free Republic?
How many?
What are their home addresses?
Cruz needs to send them donation requests.
He needs money to pay off Glen Beck for all the wonderful work he’s doing on behalf of Ted Cruz.
Here is the Cruz quote from the dailymail.co.uk:
Speaking Friday, Cruz also said that Trump had created an environment of violence.
He said: ‘When you have a campaign that disrespects the voters, when you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence, when you have a campaign that’s facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press, you create an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discord.’
It did not turn me completely from Cruz, but it is an incredible misstep.
It is beneath Cruz. It makes Donald Trump more acceptable.
It validates the violence of the leftist mob to silence dissent.
A
Yes! I will never vote for any of the stooges. They all took cheap shots.
Hillary? Cruz? Rubio? Kasich? Dems? GOPe?
Principles?
A) no difference I still support Cruz
I just sent him another check.
