IMHO, blaming Trump for inciting just another Chicago riot is a little lame. Leftist anarchists have been protesting for years, sometimes with little to protest about. Lefties have it in their blood to protest. They always have a "cause" to yell hey hey, ho ho - whatever! Lefties will protest any conservative politician who threatens their government check, or promotes capitalism. Despite the downfall of socialist countries like Venezuela, the Lefties adore socialism. Hard to figure. The height of Leftism (a word?) is promoted on the college campus where only one voice is taught and "skulls full of mush" get more mushy from professors who promote anarchy. Trump isn't politically correct, thank goodness, and Lefties can't handle that.
Something I’ve noticed about Trump is that he usually doesn’t directly answer a question if he doesn’t like it. He’ll just talk about what he wants to talk about related to the subject if the question.
Transcript of Ted Cruz: Donald Trump is Responsible for What Happened in Chicago! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmxBp4IFe_I
... be here and energy were seeing on the ground at the grassroots enthusiasm. What were seeing were seeing republicans unifying behind our campaign. Were seeing republicans coming together. This race has become a two-person race between me and Donald Trump more republicans are unified behind our campaign.
And I also want to mention something about the events this evening. This is a sad day. Political discourse should occur in the country without a threat of violence. Without anger and rage and hatred directed each other. We need to learn have disagreements without being disagreeable. To have disagreements while respecting human being on the other side.
Earlier today over 30 people were arrested at one rally and then tonight as violence broke out the rally was cancelled altogether.
Now responsibility for that lies with protesters who took violence into their own hands.
But any campaign responsibility responsibility starts at the top. Any candidate is responsible for the culture of the campaign. And when you have a campaign that disrespects the voters, when you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence, when you have a 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.
(reporter question - not clear)
I think that decision should be based on public safety.
But I think it campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment. When the candidate urges supporters to engage in physical violence have punch people in the face the predictable consequence of that is that it escalates and today is unlikely to be the last such instance. We saw earlier today in St. Louis over 30 arrested. Thats not how our politics should occur.
You know the city of Chicago in 1968 saw some ugly days when politics descended into hatred and instability and even violence and it is my hope that in 2016 that we can appeal to our better angels avoid going down that road once more.
Good job
Roll the film of tonight's well orchestrated riot.
dissolve to black and then Obama’s voice saying he will fundamentally change Amerika.
deer rifles
Well then, nothing to worry about.
LOL
Good point about the time and place. One certainly can’t depend on civility from leftist snowflakes.
Boy what piece of stupid work you are
Did you not see the videos
I saw young late teens solid white boys standing up toe to toe with belligerent black thugs
It was inspiring
Usually it’s whites cowering or being beat down by blacks and the medias refusal to cover it
One clip showed a heavy set black man sucker punch a white kid with a Flag hat who responded by taking the hit and delivering a nice double tap on the big noggin
Stunned the much larger black guy who expected cracker to fold
When I grew up....in the thick of it.....we were not afraid of blacks
They were afraid of us
He’s a fakir who trolls here race baiting
Speaking of which
Where’s stormer these days?
Chicago is Rahm Emanuel’s empire, and he plays way beyond rough. There’s bravery and then there’s foolhardiness. This venue choice seems more likely to be the latter. Never, ever trust a Clintonista.
matter of fact if you peruse pictures & video closely you can see some of those domestic terrorist bums wearing the keffiyeh.
These thuggish left-wing groups are organized violent anarchists. NO ONE has done anything, ever, to deserve to be "protested" harassed, intimidated, injured, molested by them. Not a single person, entity, business, city, event that these feral creatures descend upon has caused their own harassment.
No one "threw out the bait."
These Soros-funded demons are assigned targets to further their power goals and evil agenda.
In other words, you and your comrade Ted Cruz are full of it.
Really? Really? You sound like you have been brainwashed partway into the PC/Metro-Sexual/The Thug Has His Reasons group.
Whatever happened to the the stalwart ones who might be heard to say things like, "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it" folks?
You sound like those who actually tried to blame Benghazi on a video.
Thanks for the kind words. My health is great. Just because you can’t track me doesn’t mean I have been missing.
TRUMP NEEDS TO SAY....WE SHALL RETURN....WITH A MILLION.
No, his “right” isn’t beside the point. It is the entire point, because his right to speak is what justifies the use of force to ensure he can.
He has a right to speak. But has he a right to use a specific tactic? He appeals to the gut rather than to the head,and naturally the reactions to him, positive and negative are going to be from the gut. He never argues, which his why his performance sin the debates are just extensions of his rally performances. It is all trust. From my perspective it is: trust to do what? I am reminded of Ross Perot. If you recall what he was saying, then, he was warning against Bushs New World Order stuff. Only, when it got down to that,Perot really didnt have any ideas of what else ought to be done. Further, he didnt trust Clinton either. His main aim was to block Bush but when he came back in it is to elect Clinton as the lesser of the two evils. I know the negative things that Trump wants to be but not really what positive things he wants to do. Back in 2008, I KNEW what Obama was join got do. Thank God we were able to stop some of the stuff, but here we have a Trump whose like Perot except he likes the idea of being top dog.
Blacks versus the Reds?
Cruz/Rubio/Kasich Yellow vs Red White and Blue.
Better be hopeful that this is a one-off by the Left.
