I realize this will not be a popular position, but my support of mr. Cruz has not changed. For the very simple reason that what he said was true the multiple statements by both mr. Trump and members of his campaign about punching beating and the such like of people who do not agree with them has set a standard a low standard of discourse that has for all intents and purposes provided the excuse the agitators had to show up.
I will condemn harshly the protesters for what they did but their actions reflect on their half of the spectrum. As a person running as a Republican or at least for Republican candidacy mr. Trump claims to represent my half of the political Spectrum and as such I feel we have a right to hold him to a higher standard than that of the American left who has no morals to speak of.
I would also like to point out that had this happened at rally for any other candidate I can easily see Trump followers proclaiming it as attempt at a reichstag like fire event. Or claiming a false flag or some other conspiracy nonsense , I have noticed more and more the similarities between the hardcore Trump follower and the 9/11 truther in that both groups will happily claim that anyone who disagrees with them is paid provocateur. In fact I would be surprised if it least one of them doesn’t claim I am a shill of some kind.
Far too often I am reminded of the quotation that a fanatic is one that redoubled his efforts while losing sight of his goal , the goal is a more responsive and constitutional government not to just burn it all down which seems to be far too often what Trump followers happily claim here on what used to be Free Republic but may well be renamed Trump Republic and be done with it.

There is plenty of Cruz support still. Folks are just afraid to say so.
Should folks be allowed to carry at Trump rallies?
I could argue either side at this point.
How do we get out of this mess and clean up the criminality of Hillary and Soros?
