>>I find that odd considering how often Cruz has done the wrong thing during this campaign.

>Can you please give an example for discussion?

Donald Trump defended Cruz's daughters when the media mocked them as monkeys. Trump did the right thing.

And here's Cruz when a violent BLM riot shutdown a Trump rally:

>Yet Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Trump's main rival for the GOP presidential nomination who declined at CNN’s Republican debate this week to blame Trump for violence at his rallies, took a much sharper tone on Friday night.

>”In any campaign, responsibility starts at the top,” Cruz told reporters in Rolling Meadows, Illinois.
“When you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence,” he continued, “you create an environment that only encourages that sort of nasty discourse.”
Cruz added that the violence was a “predictable consequence” of Trump's posture toward protesters at his events.

Cruz had a wonderful chance to stand up for the first amendment, free speech and to condemn the leftist media and the violent BLM movement. Instead he slammed Trump.

Whenever Ted's had a chance to stand up for Constitutional rights he instead follows the media's narrative and slams Trump.

YouTube: Cruz Remarks on Violence at Trump Rally

Although I agree with you in theory...in practicality, Cruz has some good points. Notice that there has been no violence of this sort at other candidates' rallies. DT ran his rallies a bit like a WWE event early on. He wanted to be the tough guy... and it escalated. Is he responsible for MoveOn and BLM attacking his rally? No. But it's a selective reading of history to say that he didn't more or less challenge them to try.
