Cruz was commenting on the (striking) irony: Trump calls for less funds and we have this attack. Bad form on Cruz? Yep. Don't ever use tragedy to attack an opponent. Did he "blame" Trump? Not even close. And if you think he somehow is, you are the one who is blinded by your hatred of Cruz.

He didn't say "ironic". He said "striking". He said "Gee look...Trump calls for (insert Cruz lie about Trumps position on NATO) and gee the very next day ISIS attack Brussels where Nato is headquartered."

It is crystal clear that he is linking the ISIS attack on Brussells with Trump's (insert Cruz lie about Trumps position on NATO). IN other words, he's laying the blame on trump and his nato position.

Words mean things. And this is EXACTLY what Ted Cruz meant to do.

Umm no. I believe he meant more of what happened in Brussels will come to pass if we elect Trump.
In one sentence you chastise me for not directly quoting Cruz, then in the very next you add your own meaning. You don’t get to have it both ways. ‘Striking’ does not indicate blame. He did use the tragedy to gouge Trump, he’s not blaming Trump for the tragedy. I don’t support Cruz’s words, only to defend that Cruz isn’t blaming as you state only that Trumps plans to defund NATO will allow more of this terror to happen.
