“... Cruz wanting to run over him.”
You are speaking out of ignorance. Best if you spend a bit of time watching the interview — IN CONTEXT — and then come back and comment.
The Trump campaign needs to lighten up. It was a joke. Everyone needs to try not take everything so personal. It’s all giving me a headache. SMH
I thought it was in poor taste when Cruz said it. I thought he should be trying to calm the waters rather than agitating them further.
Trump made no issue of Fields until she filed her charges. You are aware she falsely accused Alan West, possibly costing him his seat?
I know nothing about this woman Fields other than that we all know far more about her than she deserves. The whole incident was silly and stupid, and I cannot believe it has reached the level of discussion that it has.
Why is that story even news? So one of Trump's men grabbed her. So what?
It is, or ought to have been, a big nothing burger.
RE: Donald Trump Staffer on CNN: Ted Cruz Made “Death Threat” On ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’
C’mon, if Trump can make a joke about shooting someone in the middle of fifth avenue or murdering someone without losing his supporters, why is Ted Cruz’s joke suddenly a “death threat”?
Cruz uses his smart ass mouth to trash others and if and when he gets trashed back-he plays victim. He is what we called a punk growing up.

These two are like 6th-8th grade punks.
He's an evil character. The stench following him gives credence to the thought.
Double standard. Did not Ted Cruz blame Trump for enciting violence but it is ok for him?
In context it’s a real knee slapper. Imagining the possibility of running over and likely killing a campaign rival. Jay Leno should have been so funny. What a laugh riot.
Histrionics run both ways with Cruz accusations that Trump did the NE story despite no proof and he continues to do so. At the rate things are going Hillary and Bernie will look good to voters. But it needs to stop from both campaigns.
Karl Rove and the GOP-s are smiling.
Throw stuff out and we will eat our own.
Even a blind hog could smell this one out.
Instead, both sides ignore the positives, but we jump all over nonsense like this, and we all know both sides are being foolish: Cruz trying to show the playful side he doesn't have, and Trump acting like a dumb throw away comment was a death threat.
Saying controversial or adversarial things is the quickest way to get attention this year. So far, that has been the ticket to success at the polls. It's hard to blame them both for acting stupidly when we reward them for it and ignore their common sense.
I don't want people to look at this picture a year from today and think it describes American voters. We have to make sure than the GOP candidate and the November winner are someone who opposes Amnesty, who will repeal Obamacare and make it unworkable until Congress sends a bill repealing it, and who values the Second Amendment verbatim. Trump and Cruz are the only viable choices that meet that standard, yet, as their supporters, we're on the road to destroying each other.
Trump should fire this cupcake and she should scramble to her “safe place”.
I know he meant it as a joke, sort of like when Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave, yet all the Cruzers were jumping all over that one for days.
Stabby and Ted’s version of the Driver...
Man, humor like that doesn’t come along very often.
I wouldn’t be too worried about Ted threatening violence
He’s pretty soft
I doubt he’s ever busted a grape
But hide yer interns
“It sounds to me like Cruz is creating a culture of violent threats in his campaign.”
It’s really just a whey faced, jelly paunched, spaghetti arme nerd shyster trying to talk tough. Just check his military records. Oh, wait...
Cruznadians are about to hit their ceiling ...
