Cruz, Rubio and Kasich criticize Trump for creating ‘environment’ for Chicago protest
The Washington Post ^ | March 11, 2015 | David Weigel

Posted on 03/11/2016 8:31:56 PM PST by lonestar67

"The responsibility for that lies with protesters, who took violence into their own hands. 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," Cruz said

You are seeing too many windmills. Martial law won’t happen. Trump needs to stay the course and all will be fine.

There was an old saying: “The King Can Do No Wrong.” We see that with the Trumpkins here. They attack the poster not the substance of the post. Say anything about their “Dear Leader” be it that he is scam artist (Trump University); or his campaign manager engages in thuggery in wrestling a female Breitbart reporter to the ground; or that he tells one thing to the Editorial Board of the NY Times behind closed doors and quite another to his devotees on deportation; or that he does not release his tax returns, and almost on call they try stampeding all over you.

True, but there is no right for someone to push and shove a protestor at the rally. Only security should remove them.

Trump is an uncivil anti conservative.


Who today alone was endorsed by Schlafly and Dr. Carson. Your Cruznadian has no clothes and no conservative gravitas. Sorry.

This is the same profane speech used by dear leader Trump.

We're sorry, lonestar - we didn't realize you were a woman. It's hard to tell on Free Republic, sometimes.

Take yer hat off, Solson! There's ladies present! :)

No argument their but it generally takes two to fight. If Trump supporters are peacfull and it is the MoveOn.org people doing all the violence than there is no story for the left, but just one Trump of Republican supporter does it, that is what the american citizens are shown day in day out. Then the republican party, no matter the candidate loses.

Then the inexperience of Trump began to show, rather than deal with it in a constructive manner, he released the very loud, and upset crowd upon the protesters outside.

When will this fiction drama be available on Amazon? The above excerpt is so dramatic and intriguing. /s

So Cruz thinks this is because Trump set the wrong tone? Is it the wrong tone to say that illegals should not be here? Is it the wrong tone to say we need to halt immigration from ME countries (muslims). Is it the wrong tone to say that we should be rethinking our ROE with our enemies?

Here's why the protestors said they were protesting. Trump Rally Protest - ChicagoThey're po'd that he says these things. They're worried about him shutting out Muslims, illegals, and torturing terrorists. They're also claiming that he calls all Mexicans rapists and criminals . They think he has the KKK working for him. They are a combination of paid protestors and idiots who have nothing better to do than try to shut down someone else's right to speak. THey are a group of malcontents.

It isn't Trump's tone. It is his message they don't like.

“Cruz has dealt with these kind of protesters such as Code Pink and others.

He deals with these events better than Trump does and he has good advice for Donald.”

What the heck are you talking about, Cruz seldom if ever has any large crowds coming to his events. His events pale by comparison to Trumps. Knows how to deal with protesters better than Trump my *ss. You’re full of it.

Cruz showed cowardice. The left took their first attack against conservatives and Cruz thinks he can gain an advantage by attacking the conservative front runner. He is showing himself to be an opportunist and not a true conservative. This should end any chance for Cruz.
