Last night the Trump campaign called off their Chicago rally due to security threats.] Leftist protesters cheered, beat Trump supporters, block an ambulance to the local hospital and screamed profanities at families staying at the Trump Hotel.

Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich sided with the violent protesters.

Republican endorsements.

American game show host Chuck Woolery lashed out at Senator Ted Cruz after he sided with the violent leftists.

And Second Amendment speaker Jan Morgan withdrew her support from Ted Cruz.

No, Teddy would have been giving the redcoats the names and addresses of those involved.

You won’t answer my question. If Trump is creating a toxic culture, why aren’t his supporters rioting and attacking people/property? Why are the only people burning and looting, etc., NOT Trump supporters?

It’s as if you have two teachers with two classrooms. The kids in one class are well behaved and orderly. The kids in the other class are burning the school to the ground. So you make a passing comment of censure about the arson, and then come down really hard on the toxic environment created by the teacher with the exemplary kids.

It’s stupid and it’s nasty.

Heidi said, “Ted was the face of God!” If you are Evangelical that sounds like blasphemy!

Sounds just plain stupid to me.

He sided with those that do not respect the 1st Amendment.

Sorry, that isn't what I saw.

"America is better than this. We don't have to tear each other apart," Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said. "When you have a campaign that disrespects the voters, when you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence, when you have campaign that is facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press, you create an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discourse."

He is a liar and he is done

What did he say that was a lie? Exactly?

Ted sided up with the hate America crowd last night.

This will not end well for Cruz.

BS! That was just a counter balance statement so he can have it framed both ways and not get blamed. He clearly sided with the leftists instead of free speech.

BS, yourself!

He did not say the Leftists were right in what they did. How do you twist his stating that they were responsible for their actions into supporting them?

This whole issue is based on a distortion of the man's statements.

Note to Sen. Cruz, if your are reading this: Keep it in one or two syllable words so the media and others can understand what you are saying. Short sentences, too, they lose it if you say more than YUUUUGE!! and "Make America Great Again". Any more than five words in, you might be losing them.

I’m still going to support Cruz 49% and Trump 51% but my immediate reaction to him siding with the protestors at Trumps Rally was “dumb, dumb, dumb”. Now, a guy has died of gunshot wounds!!

“Based on the vanity thread this morning, I’d offer a guesstimate that Cruz lost 20% of his FR supporters with his botched words yesterday.”

I’ve been a Cruz supporter since Day One. However, as the campaign season progressed, he began to disappoint. That’s not unusual, because no one is a perfect candidate, and blemishes are to be expected. I still supported him, but with a bit less fervor. That transitioned into a slight sense of discomfort, and as my discomfort with Cruz rose, so did my interest in Trump. Cruz’s actions over the last two weeks have convinced me that Cruz is not the guy we need at this point in our nation’s history. I think he would probably make a very good justice of the Supreme Court. But he will no longer have my support for the nomination. I will be pulling the lever for Trump on Tuesday in my state’s primary.

These “protesters” and agitators are not after Trump for being Trump, they are after Trump for being the opposing party’s frontrunner. The ironic thing is, if Cruz were the frontrunner, all this sh!t would have happened at HIS rallies. Doesn’t Cruz see that?

It is sad, really, because for a while there Cruz looked like the real deal.

What you said here certainly seems to be true. He has lost control of his campaign. He’s a good senator.

When you have a campaign that disrespects the voters

Really? Cruz calls Trump supporters ‘low information voters’ and some how Trump is the disrespectful candidate?

Now I have to support Trump...and I cant stand Trump.

As Sarah Palin said, it is not about you Donald, it is about the people behind you.

As an aside, this is an example of why there should NOT be early voting. Many people have voted and they did not have all the necessary information.
