I am a Cruz supporter and I concur with your assessment of the leftists who have demonstrated that they have no use for the rule of law. These are the same malcontents who agitate in Ferguson, at college campuses, at Occupy Wall Street, at BLM. This is their standard MO.
This segment of society has been so coddled by the corrupt MSM and by the Democrat Party who tacitly supports them in return for their votes. But I will tell you that such activism is good for Republicans and may likely help Trump. Let me give you an example.
Governor Scott Walker faced a very contentious recall election. The opposition collected 1 million signatures to force a recall. One million signatures in a state with something like 3 million registered voters (5.5 million state population). I thought Walker was a goner. These militants had protests at the state capitol with something on the order of 10,000 or more angry people. The protests, with lesser numbers of people, continued for weeks. Day after day the news was covering these protests.
Ultimately, as you know, Walker won the recall vote and for much the same reason the protests against Trump will also not be successful.
The protesters way overplayed their hand. People saw these massive disruptive crowds complete with people bussed in and this galvanized the rest of the state to stand with Walker. I believe the same thing could happen here. Many people will see the destructiveness and bitterness of these professional protestors and it will galvanize many additional people who were marginally supportive to now cast their lot with Trump and against the agitators.
I also believe that there are many people in this country who see what the Ferguson crowd did; what the BLM crowd is doing, coupled with the knock-out game, and people are done. They are tired of the racial disparity, the campus stuff and I believe, while they may not publicly comment on such matters for fear of backlash, they will certainly weigh in with their vote.
“I am a Cruz supporter and I concur with your assessment of the leftists who have demonstrated that they have no use for the rule of law. These are the same malcontents who agitate in Ferguson, at college campuses, at Occupy Wall Street, at BLM. This is their standard MO.”
If Cruz and Rubio don’t think that the Left will come for them if either of them rise substantially as a threat to the Left, they are sadly mistaken.
When they came for me, there was no one left to speak up.
