No, let's start here:

Cruz blaming Trump for the violence in Chicago

Cruz did not speak of only one gross breach of the responsibilities for one who would be president of the United States to curb his big mouth, he was speaking of the cumulative impact of dozens of gaffes committed by Trump:

1.Trump, who encourages his supporters to surround and shout down protesters with chants of “USA,” has openly pined for “the old days,” when, he says, noisy demonstrators would be carried out of a political rally on stretchers.

2.“I’d like to punch him in the face,” he told a Las Vegas casino rally crowd last month when one protester was ejected.

3.As protesters have been led away by police or security, Trump has said he wishes he could punch them in the face, or that in the old days protesters went out on a stretcher, or that someone should "knock the crap out of them" and that he would pay legal fees for someone who did. http://www.npr.org/2016/03/14/470375065/a-campaign-on-the-brink-donald-trump-and-the-intersection-of-outrage-and-violenc and

4. "The audience hit back and that's what we need a little bit more of."

5."Part of the problem ... is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore."

6. the candidate bemoaned the fact that there were no longer "consequences" to protesting and insisted the "country has to toughen up."

7.“You know, part of the problem and part of the reason it takes so long is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore, right?"

8."In the good old days this doesn't happen because they used to treat them very, very rough."

9.“They used to treat them very, very rough, and when they protested once, they would not do it again so easily,” he said, before lamenting "we've become weak."

10."Try not to hurt him. If you do, I'll defend you in court, don't worry about it."

11."If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously." He again promised to pay for any legal fees associated with an assault.

12.After a Black Lives Matter activist was kicked, punched and, he said, called the N-word at a campaign event in Birmingham, Alabama, in November, Trump expressed his approval.

"Maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing,"

13."I don’t know if I’ll do the fighting myself or if other people will."

Boo hoo.

Did he hurt your sensibilities?

I guess you forget that Trump, or his supporters, NEVER started any of the violence.

Frankly I'm quite pleased that the left gets stood up to with their crap by him and his supporters. If more people had stood up against them, we wouldn't be in such dire straits. I guess that living in Germany has taught you well to lie down before your conquerors.

You, on the other hand, do realize the left thinks so little of your candidate and his chances, that they never show up at his speeches.

You might want to think about why......

But you won't.
