You're right. I did. I apologize for my previous comment. The idea that the protesters were Cruz supporters is still crazy, but I see that Cruz did criticize Trump's discourse and lay some of the blame on him (without excusing the protesters.)
I disagree with Cruz on this. The protests are about the positions Trump has taken (an with which Cruz has mostly agreed) and about the fact that he is the frontrunner. If Cruz was the frontrunner, the same protests and attacks would likely have been directed his way.
No need to apologize.
Maybe it should make you think about what Ted Cruz is really about.
Apology accepted! I was thinking today about what happened nearly 20 years ago when a gunman nearly shot Tom Delay at his Washington, DC office (he did kill others).

At the time, Delay was House Majority Leader and was considered the most polarizing figure in DC. What I remember more than anything else was Congressman Gene Green’s response. Green was (and is) a liberal Democrat from Houston (always votes with Pelosi), so he could have EASILY blamed the shooting, in part, on Delay’s ‘abrasiveness’ and ‘tone’. Instead he said something to the effect of:
“Today, we are all Texans and party means NOTHING to us. This was an attack on our country, our constitution.”
Would it have been THAT HARD for Cruz to say something similar, considering that Cruz is a CONSTITUTIONAL SCHOLAR and thus should be able to figure out the significance of silencing Trump in that manner?
This was a HANGING CURVE BALL for Cruz to whack out of the park - but now he likely lost his last chance to be nominated over it.
