Trump spent 10% of his time at the microphone attacking others, the tone he set has come home to roost. He is riding to power on a tidal wave of rage that he feeds at every chance. His followers are a reflection of efforts, the division of the country are the fruits of his labor.
Cruz is just pointing out the obvious, the tantrums will not change it.
You need to come home if you REALLY believe that. They may have some weird form of censorship there.
The division of which you speak WAS CREATED by the GOPe when they decided that GOP voters were a bunch of uninformed assholes and would always be willing to vote for whoever they served up.
Well, sorry, but WE ARE NOT UNINFORMED. Trump is the ONLY CANDIDATE that directly addressed our NUMBER 1 ISSUE, which is immigration. Cruz may have said a few words in our direction, but ONLY TRUMP made it the centerpiece of his campaign.
The RAGE of which you speak PRECEDED TRUMP and will be there even if the left (that Cruz now defends) gets their way and puts a bullet in Trump. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS FINISHED in its present form, where it relies on a bunch of people that they thought were uninformed idiots. Either they get behind Trump, or they will have to try to form a new party, because TRUMP NOW OWNS THIS PARTY, and even if he’s killed, the Republican Party will NEVER AGAIN have credibility with conservatives.
Other than that, I agree, Trump should cool it a bit, now that Cruz has totally discredited himself. Good point.
It’s not Trump’s supporters that are rioting and attacking people and property. It’s a cabal of America-hating radical leftists, including the group that burned Ferguson. Are you now blaming Trump for Ferguson?

Correct. It’s like a teacher in the classroom. The teacher sets expectations of behavior and what is or isn’t acceptable. If there is a student disrupts the classroom, does the teacher confront the disruptor and deal with it, or does the Teacher tell all of the other students that he/she would like to punch the disruptor? Does the teacher tell the other students that if they punch the disruptor, the teacher will bail them out of trouble?
It sets a tone, with people that are already rightfully angry, that encourages “Lord of the Flies” type behavior. It doesn’t excuse the disruptors, it’s just that there are better ways to deal with them without encouraging or signaling the crowd that it’s OK to take enforcement into their own hands.
The leader is responsible for the tone that they set.
