I agree with you completely even though I tend to be more sympathetic to Cruz than Trump. Cruz ought to have delivered a broadside against the disruption and threats against Trump and then called on Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and the DNC to disavow and denounce such tactics. Then Cruz ought to have rallied a squad of conservative lawyers and law firms to sue the organizations and persons responsible on behalf of Trump, the other Republican candidates, and GOP voters.
I love every word of this. You know what you have done, don't you? You have just overlaid Cruz with almost the exact way Trump would have reacted had the tables been turned. If Cruz did stuff like you described, there'd be no need for Trump. As it is, we need him now more than ever.
