Supporters of Sens. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) took to social media to slam the freshman senators for blaming leftists shutting down a Trump Chicago rally on GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.
“I think a campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment, when the candidate urges supporters to engage in physical violence — to punch people in the face. The predictable consequence of that is that it escalates and today is unlikely to be the last such instance. We earlier today in St. Louis over thirty arrested. That’s not how our politics should occur,” Cruz said Friday. “You know, the City of Chicago in 1968 saw some ugly days when politics descended into hatred and incivility and even violence and it is my hope that in 2016 that we can appeal to our better angels and avoid going down that road once again.”
Cruz supporters, incensed by the Texas senator’s blame game, stormed social media to express their anger. Top comments on a Friday Facebook post promoting a Cruz “victory fund” drew furious responses.

“As a now former Cruz supporter- I will be voting for Trump!”
Welcome to the “Make America great again” majority.
And we will indeed!
Trumpbart article. Predictable.
Truth hurts, don’t it?
Hyperbole aside, I don’t disagree in substance. All three should have directed more fire at the Bernie Brownshirts.
That, however, is a different thing than repeating the lie that Cruz, or even Rubio or Kasich for that matter “supported” the Brownshirts, or blamed Trump.
They did not.
Show me even the slightest shred of evidence that we are not living in Bizzaro World.
Thanks for your thoughtful reply, you are a fine representative of the Trump supporters on FR.
Oh, and...
Changing the subject doesn’t change the facts.
Trump never told his supporters to punch anyone. He said HE would like to punch someone, and everyone at attendance knew he was speaking allegorically. Unfortunately it went over the heads of most MSM and those critics incapable of intelligent, emphathetic reasoning.

Cruz—Mr. Sincerely Insincere, Mr. Unctuous, Mr. Phony Baloney. Yech.
Cruzie boy, the left does not go after you because they know you’re all talk.
The truth is
Cruz has never done a conservative thing
Cruz only has done the worst things ever for America:
1. gave Iran the ability to make nukes (corker bill)
2. China the ability to move more U.S. factories over to China(TPA)
3. got Roberts on the Supreme court which gave us obamacare
4. unlimited socialist 3rd world immigrants with TPP TPA Obama trade

No one once said anything about Christians murdering gays.
Watch that video. He is quoting the Old Testament about Israel and the need to be able to say politically incorrect statements for Truth to come out.
Cruz is an elitist cuck.
Trump is showing the characteristics of a thug and will abuse the power of the office. Just carry on if you don't care about the Constitution.
Donald Trump Says He Doesn't Condone Violence. Footage Says Otherwise.
Nominating anyone but Trump will guarantee a Hillary presidency.
This is what"Cruz said,.... As violence broke out the rally was canceled altogether. "Now the responsibility for that lies with protestors who took violence into their own hands." "But in any campaign responsibility lies at the top....."
Don't you think that when Trump has said he likes the old days when we could fight back and carry them out on a stretcher, then he says he would like to punch a protester in the face, isn't contributing to a brawl type of mentality? I certainly do. Therefore the way one conducts themselves DOES contribute to situations.
Here is another example of Trumps brute mentality.

Exactly
The left will say "BOO" and Cruz will wet himself. He would not have our backs. But no matter he has no chance in the general election.
Oh bless your heart.
