Towards the end of his speech late Monday afternoon at the Peoria Civic Center Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was interrupted by a protester carrying a Donald Trump sign who yelled multiple times "Go back to Canada" at the leading opposition candidate to Trump..
Cruz told the man that he appreciated his being there and his freedom of speech and told the birther protester "You see sir one difference between this and a Donald Trump rally is I am not asking anyone to punch you in the face."
Security escorted the man from the event.
The Trump protesters outburst drew massive boos from the more than 2,000 people who came to the event the 3rd of 5 Cruz is doing in Illinois ahead of Tuesday's primary .
Trump's comments on the campaign trail questioning Cruz's eligibility to be President has prompted birthers across the country to launch legal challenges to Cruz's ability to appear on various state ballots. Twice prominent birther Lawerence Joyce of Poplar Grove, IL tried to get Cruz kicked off the ballot in Illinois first having his challenge totally rejected by the Illinois State Board of Elections, and then having a lawsuit he brought in Cook county court seeking to have that determination reversed was tossed out.

Cruz looks like one of those gag photos of a Wal-Mart shopper.
His mother is an American.
LOL!
Look at that sneaky look on his face after he tries to kiss his daughter for the cameras. ICK!!!!!
Conversely....the refusal by Trump supporters to hold Trump responsible for anything that he says, no matter how reckless, how vulgar and how inappropriately in bad taste...not to mention un-presidential....
literally reeks of the same type of idol-worship that got us Obama. And you see how well that bit of stupidity turned out.
“He can claim Cuban, US and Canadian citizenship.”
If women still could not vote or hold office, Hillary Clinton would no doubt run for POTUS by self identifying as a man with White privilege. If only women had the right to vote and hold office, Ted Cruz could do like Bernie Sanders and run for POTUS as a woman, honorary or otherwise.
Maybe the nomination should be dependent on the number of protesters (real ones) you have at your rallies, instead of the delegates.
How uncivil. Brownshirts.
This sort of nasty discourse comes from the top of the campaign.
This candidate is another Hitler, I tell ya.
I do however like to refer to the Trump supporters as "sTRUMPets".
strumpet=whore
You must be absolutely correct! I never even thought of this. And then the plant asks a question that a lot of people probably have and Ted "masterfully" handles the protester.....but doesn't answer the question...something you have dig a little to find out.
He is nothing but a manipulator...a sickening one at that.
That was lame. Just watched it. He is so stiff! It’s painful. Plus Trump protesters are higher energy. That guy just gave up. Very sad effort. His protesters aren’t even as good.
I like his Teddy Roosevelt style. It’s about time somebody stuck it to the media, the political hacks and the donor class. All the other stuff... I could care less... actually, it is impossible for me to care less about all the other stuff. Cruz is a traitor.
someone shouda punched the canadian in the face.
“I’m curious what she’s flicking at him with her hand.”
perhaps it was another Ted booger?
so he is the establishment spoiler?
Huh?
His mother who gave birth to him was and is a United States citizen.
You say, born to two non-citizen parents.
Huh?
Oh well, as nuts as this twister mean thread is just hurling mindless insults and dopey insinuations, what could I expect?
The truth?
Nope.
but he never won the state and has only won 3 primary election states and is on course to be third for the swing states of VA, OH, FL
Then we will see some big arguments on here.
Or an android.
Go read some newer polls my brother.
