Cruz and Kasich will be right in there with them if past experience is any guide.

Oh, Bullshit.

What "past experience"?

Post a real (not photoshop bullshit) picture of either Cruz or Kasitch in the street with the rioters. I won't hold my breath.

Cruz and Kasitch were not "with them" during the last protests, and they aren't going to be 'with them' this time. Enough slander.

If you can't win without lying, you won't need my damned vote, either.

This is what Cruz said, reacting to the violent protests at the Trump rally in Chicago:

“”America is better than this. We don’t have to tear each other apart,” Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said. “When you have a campaign that disrespects the voters, when you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence, when you have campaign that is facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press, you create an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discourse.”

Cruz implied that Trump was responsible for what happened in Chicago. He blamed Trump and not the idiot rioters.

“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.” Ted Cruz, March 12th, 2016

Very disgusting Ted!

Cruz and Kasitch were "with the thugs" to the degree that they failed to show any real solidarity with a GOP frontrunner who, along with his supporters, had just had their Right to Peaceable Assembly criminally infringed upon by an organized group of Leftist thugs.

Many of the people who criticized Ted Cruz were his own supporters. That's a fact. So they are guilty of slander too, I guess. Ted Cruz was blasted for showing naked opportunism, lack of proper emphasis, and failure to show leadership. He lost 300,000 Twitter followers literally overnight as a result of his yuuuuge mistake.

He and the other 2 stooges gave only "lip service" to rebuking the lawbreakers, and then proceeded to negate it by devoting several times as much time and space in their statements to taking political cheap shots at Donald Trump.

And that was a factor in why Ted Cruz didn't win a single state yesterday.

Eventually those same thugs might show up at a Ted Cruz rally. Whose fault will it be when that happens? Will it be Cruz's fault because of his violent rhetoric? Of course not.

The ironic thing is, if Ted Cruz really wanted to take advantage of the opportunity provided by the rally violence, he could have shown statesmanship by expressing solidarity with the frontrunner, combined with fiercely and emphatically repudiating the lawbreakers.

The opportunist missed a big opportunity, and perfectly misread the situation.

Anyone who doesn't think it cost Cruz yesterday is delusional, IMHO.

What are you babbling about? The poster I was replying to said “MSM lining up to blame Trump for the ‘divisive’ election, too” I replied that “Kasich and Cruz will be right in there with them if past experience is any guide.” That is because Kasich and Cruz did blame Trump for the actions of BLM, La Raza, etc. last week. Get a grip, drama queen.
