"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

I think this is a legitimate criticism by Cruz.

REally?? Cruz gives token responsibility to violent paid protesters and then actually blames Trump for the actions of violent paid protesters?
That's not valid. That's disgusting. It's like blaming white people for Ferguson.

It delegitimizes them. The leftist perpetrators brought it to the Trump rallies.

Trump clinched the GOP nomination tonight.
Deal with it.

I don’t. I don’t think the voters will, either. We’re tired of being pushed around by leftists and Washington insiders.

Did you know that the Communist had a rally in Chicago tonight, as well?
I will never vote for GOP ever again after I pull he lever for Trump.

Blame Obama and the divisive narrative that he has fostered during his entire time in office. For Rubio, Cruz and Kasich to be jumping on the bandwagon is foolish and demonstrates the contempt that they have for middle of the road Americans. The Democrats created this divide - why blame it on Trump? Cruz is jumping into bed with a dangerous narrative by signing onto this...

So we can blame Cruz, Rubio and Kasich for an environment of lying?
Gotcha.
To: lonestar67
So, Cruz is on the side of black lives matter rioters?
Interesting.
Who else is on their side?

Sounds like they nailed the talking points Jeb delivered before the debate. So, odd this happening after the most subdued debate of this season...
