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.

What violent actions of his supporters. Other than one old guy wacking someone (who was rightfully arrested), where is all this other violence from the supporters?

“The level of hatred being exhibited is getting completely out of hand.”

Agreed. I try not to take it personally. Sometimes difficult.

George Washington warned against having political parties. Of course is warning went unheeded pretty quickly, but the pendulum seems to be swinging harder and faster.

Quote:

I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State...let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally....

The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty....

” It is pretty much a cult. “ *******************

It’s pretty much a Revolution, actually. No more climbers running the joint, climbing on my conservative back so they can ascend the ladder to power, just because they wave the flag in one hand, the Constitution in the other with the Bible clinched firmly in their teeth.

Cruz may be selling you, but he is selling out us. Talk to me when he walks back his mild scold to the Chicago fascists
and his repellant commentary against TRUMP and his supporters instead.

Cruz is so toast, you can smell the Bern.

Please add me to your list. I enjoy your banter.

I'm not sure that Laz would be a good influence for you, PJ.

He enjoys looking at, and posting, pictures of lovely young women who are too poor to afford adequate clothing.

But he also rightly called Trump out for the incendiary and reckless rhetoric he has engaged in throughout the campaign.

No one walking on eggshells ever won a marathon. Trump talks tough when he's attacked. These "protesters" are trying to shut down his campaign by ruining every event. You fight them or you throw in the towel and learn to say "Madam President."

I for one don't plan on saying that.

Seems like most Freepers are with me. In the lastest FR caucus taken after Cruz's comments on the rally cancellation he got just 17%, an all time low.

I’m a Trump guy but I’m just pointing out GSCO has I think 200-300 managing directors which is the level of ownership beneath that of partner

There are 40 partners

She’s rich though

Prolly a couple million a year easy

She is the chief of the Houston regional private assets management

A big certified financial planner basically and CFR so we’re told

It’s confusing sounding like she’s at the very top or near it

A managing partner for example in a law firm is the big kahuna or close to it

Now let’s get back to Ted imitating a Saffton monk in Saigon in 65

He’s on fire.

One thing you do not understand plewis, is that this country unfortunately has gone to far to the left for Cruz to win in the general!!! I know you WOULD LOVE to believe that this is NOT the case, but you NEED to get your head out of the sand and realize that it has taken 30+ years for the progressives to get this country to where it is now!!! if you look at this situation realistically it WILL take us at-least the same amount of time to turn the ship around !!! I just WILL NEVER understand how you folks honestly believe the country WILL ACCEPT a CRUZ far right person as POTUS????? It is just NOT going to happen and you NEED to stop imagining the country is in a place that it is NOT!!! LOOK AROUND YOU and WAKE UP!!!!

It seems like some people here don't understand that. The progressive rise in America has been coming for a long time.

The progressive establishment running the GOP tells us everything we want to hear in every election, then turn around and stab us in the back but progressivism continues to build.

For once, we have a successful private citizen, Donald Trump, running on fairly good conservative principles that actually has a good chance of squashing the progressive establishment that runs the GOP. We and conservatism will definitely not get anywhere till the GOP establishment is defeated and removed. I don't know why some here don't see that a President Donald Trump is a very good chance of that happening.

In reality, you better believe the progressive establishment that runs the GOP, can definitely see it and is doing everything it can to try to destroy him.

I was a Cruz guy until this. I’m done now. I was taught- when in an argument look at what is right, not who is right. If Cruz can’t see that the leftist are totalitarian thugs then he has a problem- he doesn’t “don’t know the truth”. Ted is young and competitive- but he let me down today. The truth here is obvious, all members of the party of Lincoln/Reagan should have been at Trump’s side today. The hypocrisy of the left was on full display. They do not believe in free speech and Cruz sided with them. Shame. Done. Trump is the only one that accepts the friction that our times provides.

The first thing he said about the incident was that the protesters were responsible for their actions.

Maybe y'all don't speak the same language, but that wasn't blaming trump for the protesters. I think most of the people here have glanced at a headline, followed prejudices and continued Trumpetting. My guess is fewer than one in ten actually listened to any of his remarks. they're just jostling toward the cliff with the rest of the herd.

He did comment on how coarse and violent rhetoric sets a tone for coarse and violent behaviour, calling for people to tone it down.

As for attacking the Communists and others, I must note there are hardly any threads on them; instead they are almost raving distortions about what Cruz supposedly said.

Some nutcases have even gone so far as to say he supported the Communists.

Really?

Considering his family history, that is an incredibly ironic bit of crap.

So, now who is doing the epic FAIL?

Re your tagline:

"Supervillians for Trump: We're sick of being the lesser evil!"

You still have to beat Hillary. Then you'll be the greater evil.

Thanks for this synopsis. Just read part II. I was wondering where the cops were and thankfully the filmers were too. WHO were the filmers, how did you find this video of your car? I’m glad you were on film, and expect they were tweeting 911 also.


The police were all over—they were in the garage because “protesters” were hammering cars with Trump bumper stickers, they were out front as a buffer, they were blocking the ramps to the interstate as protesters had tried to block traffic, they were by the by the parking garage exit, but the one place they weren’t... they were not around the back side where a mob of thugs had sneaked across the line or breached the line.

Road leading out of garage was a frontage road to the interstate and was S-shaped, and when we came around the bend, I saw a large mob and they then stopped the car in front of ours...I have a feeling the car ahead of us may have done something unwise like flip them the bird or wave a sign, but I cannot be sure. Anyway, their were people looking down from the upper decks of the parking garage, so I figured one of them would be recording and put it up on youtube...and I found it....We called 911. Did not even think that they were tweeting 911, tho they may have called 911 too.

And I found another one...This was an edited version; whole evening from the cancellation announcement to some outside scuffles. Edited down to 8 minutes...I am again “featured” at the 6 minute mark.

There may be more videos, but I have seen enough...takes a little out of me each time I have viewed it.

What I want to know, is why the Trumpette section is blaring against Cruz, but mute when it comes to the Communists in the streets?

Maybe you don't diss people on the same payroll?

Yep. Unreal. I used to ask myself how some of the things in history happened. Either this is paid Alinsky all the way, or it is a delusion of Biblical proportions. However, some questions of history have been answered. When a people turns it’s back on The Almighty, he allows them to be deluded and destroy themselves.

I’ll take one who at least has read it over someone who will see it only as an impediment. We’ve had plenty of that already.
