Trump has encouraged his supportes to be violent.
His supporters, at his rallies, have responded by being violent.
Now, I am not going to say that this justifies the actions of the violent protesters in Chicago. Obviously they were breaking the law, and trying to suppress their political opposition through violence.
But Trump has been doing the same thing. It is a little late for Trump to be trying to stuff that Genie back into the bottle.
What Cruz did last night was to put justification in violence against Donald Trump personally and your fellow conservatives. And you condone this with some phony rationalization! Would not want you for a friend...shame on you.
What a load of horse crap.
At this point, you’re the Walking Ted.
And your candidate is FINISHED now.
Get your head out of your rear end.
I am sick and tired of reading FReepers trying to justify what happened last night as Trump’s fault. I know your words say differently.
You must be aware that when you say “But” at the start of the next sentence you are negating your previous comment.
This is the time for a united front from Cruz and Trump, not a time to try to take political advantage of an attack from the left. We have the media doing that job just fine.
No, he hasn't.
He has encouraged his supporters to fight back, and not to give in to these orchestrated disruptions by the Left and with approval from the GOP establishment.
People see what's going on in Baltimore and U of MO and they're not going to cave in to these leftist radicals.
Do you think these agitators will behave if Cruz somehow wins the nomination?
No, he hasn't.

“But Trump has been doing the same thing.”
Shouldn’t you be on the MoveOn dot org site?
Trump hasn’t organized thousands to block roads, scream and shout at other rallies. There is no reason to protest free speech at political rallies. I wouldn’t ever go to a democrat rally to protest or otherwise.
Normal US citizens are fed up with Black Lives Matter and La Raza running amuck. How does that end if freedom-loving US citizens lie back and take it?
BS.
I have watched most of Trump’s rallies and he doe not encourage violence.
He reminds people of the time when protesters, like the ones in Chicago, would not be pampered and catered to. He reminds people what it used to be like before the left took over.
There is no violence at Trump rallies.
I bet you haven’t watched one of them.
You can’t make up facts. So you are lying.
Liar.
I guess you put up no trespassing signs on your property and it is YOUR fault for the robbers coming into your house. If you had just not provoked them by your sign saying they were not welcome they would not have bothered you.
Making false statements about what Trump has actually said in his rallies will not bring people to your side.
utter crap
Yeah, his; "Don't hurt em" comments really incite violence.
So, if I wear a mini skirt and I get raped, I deserve it, right?
I think you are probably a coward and afraid of strong men. This gives you cover from having to fight back, and I get it. Just don’t lie and say this is about hateful speech. There is no such thing. You either believe Trump can say what he wants or you don’t.
There is no middle ground.
I agree. You can’t call out for violence at your rallies then be freaked out when it actually happens. Of course the protesters are wrong. Cruz said so but that part gets conveniently overlooked.
Punch in the face.
Take out on a stretcher.
Rough up a bit, I’ll pay the legal fee.
Mexicans are rapist.
All Muslims are bad ( changed to “a lot of them are”).
Trump has played a role in fomenting this, and denying It won’t change what he has said.
It is almost like he was looking for a reaction. Well he got one. A wrong illegal anti 1st amendment reaction, but he got one.
“But Trump has been doing the same thing.”
Right, it’s partially Trump’s fault because we all know that the only discourse that should be allowed in the U.S. should be placid, polite, politically correct, non-offensive, never angry, and under no circumstance should it ever offend a single snowflake ensconced in one of their safe zones.
Cruz sunk his own ship with this:

“Ted Cruz said violent protests are “the predictable consequence” of the atmosphere Trump’s campaign has created, while Bernie Sanders had his own strong words for the Republican presidential candidate. “
So it now appears Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders are two peas in a pod. Who woulda thunk it?
And the real beauty of it is that the heroic Trump cancelled to avoid really bad things from happening by the leftist-anarchists who have been organizing this violence for weeks via social media, while the anarchists are crowing that they shut down a free-speech event, which isn’t going to go over too well with many people in this country. Seems to me Trump came out smelling like a rose and the anarchists came out smelling like poop.
This Chicago Atrocity by leftist-anarchists will make Trump President!
