I haven’t looked for the clips with Neil Bush (waiting for transcripts), but his line of argument was, if you can believe it, even more hyperbolic!

Seems like those who precipitated the street violence were the ones who were guilty of mob rule.
Brown shirts? Seriously dude, what are you smoking?

Context is your friend. He's speaking about a piece of leftist human debris that starting hitting others at a rally without cause. I know you can't understand that, and apparently your oh so pure candidate can't understand it either.

Shame on all of you Cruzers who are not putting the blame on the one, two punch of an organized violence put on by moveon.org, and #blacklivesmatter.

You apparently have learned nothing about the evils of the totalitarian left, and neither has your candidate.

Shame on you all.

Trumpkins, as defined by Trump, is that they will take a hail of bullets for him in the middle of Fifth Avenue. This is why Trump said he “loves the least educated.”

FWIW, that's a pretty powerful expression of its own right.

Sometimes watching the news gets my blood pressure up too - they engage in that sort of misattribution, false equivalence, and outright fabrication, continuously. It's maddening. I'm sure too many people fall for it, are "gaslighTED" (a new one, I think), and none the wiser. A public awakening would be pretty cool.

I came ion late and my son told me what was going on .
I turned the TV on and came on here looking to get more information.

Since then seeing the evidence then I am frigging B/S.
Even worse is that some n here are trying to protect the radical left on this and then they call themselves right wing!

Left or right, violence in response to mere words is always wrong and should always be severely punished.

People gotta defend themselves. The protesters were there to intimidate and incite fear.

Sure. Violent protesters should be free to loot, burn, rape, yell, strike and anything else they want to do to Trump supporters. And God forbid anyone call them out on it.

“He [Cruz] blamed Trump live on fox. He then used the media attention to say to Republicans in Illinois that if they didn’t like what they were seeing in Chicago that he was an alternative.”

This really is despicable. Is Cruz speaking from his victim “Hispanic” side now, that it is the minorities and protesters’ side that he needs to be on at the expense of “Whitey”, the fed up middle class, and conservatives that are targeted by these protesters in demonstrations and attacks. Cruz is taking the enemies’ side here, just to score cheap political points against Trump.

It’s like taking Fergusan’s side in their riots, or Baltimore’s side against the police, and the blame Whitey crowd against conservatives. Whose side is Cruz on, for heaven sakes. The demonstrators, many of them violent, who in the name of first amendment rights try to (and tonite succeeded) shut down the free speech rights of others?

Only the leftists and minorities get to be violent or fight and attack, while the true victims, ordinary American folk going to hear a candidate they like at a rally that ends up being disrupted by antagonistic, often violent protesters. This is all backwards, just like our whole society is now, where up is down, and right is wrong.

It’s got to stop or it will continue to escalate, especially if Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders were to win the Presidency. If the vast majority of the silent majority movement let themselves be intimidated by these leftists like MoveOn.org, Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street, and the like, then you are giving up your rights as citizens to be fairly represented in our Country, and the vast majority will continue to become the new minority with fewer and fewer rights until your Country becomes a third world socialist country and you have no power or representation. It’s down to us versus them. Whose side do you want controlling your government?

This may be your last chance folks, and the likes of a total political opportunist that turns on conservatives who are just giving voice to their beliefs and should be able to do so freely, is no man to be trusted with the Presidency. That man, Ted Cruz, has shown what a cad he is tonite. Makes me sick. And to think I once thought better of him.

In times like tonite, you find out who your friends are and who your enemies are. Turn to any channel on TV tonite and hear how the talking heads blame Trump rather than the perpetrators and instigators of the demonstrations and violence at the rally tonite. We know the MSM is the enemy, now we find out Cruz, and Rubio too I might add, have joined with them and the demonstrators against conservatives. Cruz is a faux conservative; he is an establishment GOP masquerading as an outsider. Actually, he is a liar and an opportunist, seizing on tonite’s disgusting event to try to score political points against one of those supposedly on his own side, a fellow Republican Primary candidate. It seems he will do and say anything to try to win the Primaries.

And Rubio is just the same. The two Hispanics siding with our enemies. How desperate are Cruz and Rubio to not be willing to stand up for what they know is right. What kind of men are they? Neither should be trusted with the Presidency when they can’t even come to the defense of one of their own. What if this happened at one of their rallies, assuming they would ever have crowds like Trump gets at his rallies. And no one came to their defense and rather blamed them for the disturbances. Cruz and Rubio are not worthy of the office they seek.

So you wanted riots and violence tonite instead, right?
