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.
The left might certainly hate Cruz, but they don’t fear him. They do however fear Trump. He has earned my vote.
“Have any fights or riots happened at a Cruz rally?”
No, but you actually have to have PEOPLE at a rally in order to have fights or riots.

If Cruz somehow-somehow- makes it to the GOP convention the Republicans will have even worse mobs trying to take him down for being a Christian, a supporter of the Constitution, an abortion denier, a tool of Goldman Sachs, or whatever
The annointed Ted may think BushRomney money and joining forces with the GOPe to take down Trump gives him some immunity from this criminal chaos they are stoking, but it wont
First they came for Trump and he and the rest did nothing
Then they will come for him
Oh how naive you are. Of course, there haven’t been any fights or riots at the Cruz rallies - he is part of the establishment and is no threat to their way of life. Wise up! You base your vote on this criteria? Trump threatens the establishment, which Cruz is part of - therefore, they will leave him alone. How naive can you be? Deeply naive I guess.
You say:
“Cruz is always careful to make sure Trump has said the equivalent thing first.”
But you also said:
“I’m still with Cruz and that is because he is leading by example.”
NO.
TRUMP is leading by example. The ONLY reason that Cruz has any momentum is that he’s *following* Trump’s lead.
You see that... but you DON’T see that.
Why can’t you see the disconnect?
Cruz is ONLY against amnesty and for a wall because Trump suggested it and got headwind with the proposal.
Your candidate is only making gains because he’s *following* the stronger candidate’s policies.

Cruz regularly calls hecklers and protesters at his rallies up to the microphone and lets them have their say. Then he has his say, reminding them, "You had your turn; it's my turn now" if they try to interrupt -- and most of them have to admit the justice of that and shut up.
It's amazing to see and it works.
It's also Cruz's debate experience coming out; most candidates probably couldn't pull it off, and really there's no reason they should have to. People come to Trump rallies to hear Trump talk, and in that space Trump has the right to talk without being interrupted. But I suspect Cruz's technique does help to undercut his opponents. Tough to play the victim after Cruz gives them a chance to have their say at his own rally. Protesters who continue causing a ruckus after being allowed the microphone just look like ingrates.
