I don’t know whether that attack occurred or not, but if Trump made comments about wanting to punch somebody, that’s not a good tone to set, for civil discourse. That’s what Cruz basically said, and I don’t see how anybody could argue with that. Cruz isn’t saying Trump is responsible for violence; he clearly said the opposite. But Trump IS responsible for the tone he sets, and if it’s a tone that won’t even tolerate a conservative reporter without his supporters and/or campaign leaders resorting to physical force.... well, that’s a problem for those who expect civil discourse.

Here's the thing: You're either completely in the tank for another candidate or you've been snookered by the media.

How many rallies has Trump had? Dozens...maybe hundreds. And they are huge rallies for the most part. 2000, 3000, 25,000, 30,000. It's probably a safe bet that there have been upwards of 1 or 2 million people at these rallies or outside these rallies.

Now out of ALL this supposed violence being incited by trump only 1 (1) guy is caught punching a "protester". A 78 year old senior citizen hit a 20 something year old black man.

Once. And THAT is Trump inciting violence?

Now how about reporters? How many reporters do you think Trump has dealt with over his lifetime? I would guess THOUSANDS is a safe bet. And what has been the results? Out of thousands and thousands of interactions with reporters (1) reporter (1) claims that a Trump aide grabbed her arm to hard. Sure that sounds bad. But then remember that these leftist groups are SENDING violent protesters to these rallies. How careful do you think Trumps bodyguards are being?

Now think about....2 incidents out of millions of people and thousands of reporters and the press has somehow managed to convince you that Trump is somehow a svengali who is encouraging hatred and violence against everyone. Does that make any sense at all?

By any measure the audience at any NFL or NHL game is more violent by far then a trump rally. In any group of 1 million people the odds are that a LOT of violence will happen. And we're to believe that 1 incident means Trump is encouraging violence?

Do you see the media manipulation here? First the KKK charge. Then all of a sudden we have a bunch of BLM protesters showing up just itching for someone to hit them. Do you see it?

BINGO to everything you said in your comment #516. Excellent analysis.
