These guys are sounding more like the the Left and Obama all the time. After all isn’t it America’s fault that America’s enemies hate her and that things like 9-11 happened?

Sadness.

All anyone has to do is go to Twitter to see that this was organized with the express intent of shutting down the rally.

This was not a spontaneous event.

This is a conservative website.

Maybe Trump does not belong here.

I think this is a legitimate criticism by Cruz.

You're standing in a pretty empty room tonight. Cruz support is falling off a cliff over this.

Did you even read the first sentence? “The responsibility for that lies with protesters, who took violence into their own hands”

did you read the rest???

"But in any campaign, responsibility starts at the top. Any candidate is responsible for the culture of a 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 discord"

Agreed. Cruz uses coordinated political violence to levy a political attack against an anti-establishment Republican front runner. He has chosen to blame the victim for political gain. Personal gain no less. Cruz is not the messiah or a messenger from God. He now looks like, talks like, and smells like a career politician.

Yup, it's like he's blaming the pretty girl for being raped. Slimy weasel.

To be sure Cruz is not blaming the Trump for the Chicago thuggery.

No, Cruz is blaming Trump for the thuggery in Chicago. Watch the video here and see for yourself

Wishful thinking on your part.

It is also not about popularity.

Truth matters.

For Cruz and others to blame Trump for the actions of the protestors is insane !! The protestors Denied Trump his free speech rights. Wait, I saw Sanders supporters amongst the protestors so is Sanders the blame for their actions?

Ot most certainly is not. Cruz is dead wrong. Never justification for that. He is seriously messed up in the head.

At this point if I had to pick between Jeb and Cruz it would be a tough choice. But fortunately I don’t have to do that since I’m able to vote for Trump.

Were the protestors being violent or just loud and obnoxious? I cringed when Trump encouraged people to knock out the tomato throwers and he would pay for their legal fees. He should have just told them to step back away from protestors and let security handle it.

Cruz is a conservative patriot.

Trump is an uncivil anti conservative.

Trumpsters feel more and more threatened so they respond in this way with ad hominem attacks.

If I might add, and all they are doing is making sure hillary wins.

Just read there were 300 SEIU protestors outside a Ted Cruz fundraiser in Chicago, looks like he forgot to mention that little tidbit. Hey, maybe its not SEIU’s fault, maybe its Ted Cruz’s fault for stirring up that kind of environment
