Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz Split Anti-Donald Trump Vote In Florida
A Florida Atlantic University public opinion poll released Saturday showed Donald Trump with 44 percent of the vote and Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz with 21 percent each. With the primary just days away, 5 percent of Florida Republicans still hadn't made up their minds.
If the numbers hold through Tuesday's primary, the billionaire businessman and part-time Palm Beach resident would win all of Florida's 99 nominating delegates in the winner-take-all primary.
If Rubio, Florida's junior U.S. senator, fares as poorly in actual votes in his home state as the poll indicates, it would be a devastating blow to his presidential hopes. If Cruz, a senator from Texas, finishes even with Rubio, that could boost his argument that he's the best alternative to Trump.

Thank you for reminding us that Cruz believes that a person who exercises his free speech rights is the one to blame when violence and oppression is perpetrated against him and his supporters. Anyone who actually believes in the First Amendment would not blame the person for his words, but the rioters for their anti-Constitutional actions. He spent a few seconds briefly condemning the left-wing anarchist protesters, and several minutes blaming the victim because he exercised his free speech rights in ways that Cruz didn’t like.
Of course, the Trump haters would prefer that the protesters just be allowed to run amuck, continually disrupting Trump and making it as impossible for him to speak as possible. That’s why they continually excuse everything the protesters do or simply refuse to report it, while fixating on the 3 or 4 disruptors who were mildly hurt. There are a disturbing number of people in this country who want to shut up Trump, because they are afraid of him getting his ideas out even though that is a fundamental Constitutional right, and they are doing any and everything to try to stop him. I’ve never seen anything even vaguely like it before.
One can be on the side of free speech or one can be on the side of those opposing free speech. One can’t legitimately claim to be for both. By blaming Trump, Cruz in effect excused the radical leftist disruptors, which included moveon.org and the Revolutionary Communist Party members.
Can you give a recap I was working all weekend and pretty much missed it?
Trump Train it is.

Thank you, Mr. Robinson, I couldn’t have said it better myself.
There are many of us here who had great respect for Ted Cruz, but he has become unrecognizable in his fervor to be elected. I can’t bear to look at him now. He has lost all of my respect in his outrageous slander and betrayal of his conservative principles to side with the GOP establishment.
And the inexplicable rage that I am seeing being unfairly thrown at Mr. Trump, tells me everything I need to know as to who is on the side this country and her people and who is on the side of the global elites.

Your last paragraph hits the BULL’S EYE!!!

Don’t look now, but Trump is the only anti-establishment candidate left running. The GOPe is now backing Cruz to the hilt and he’s doing their bidding.
“When you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence,” Cruz, the Texas senator, said, “you create an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discourse.”
here is cruz blaming trump for the actions of blm and moveon.org http://www.cnbc.com/2016/03/12/rivals-say-trumps-rhetoric-partly-to-blame-for-protests.html
” But in any campaign responsibility starts at the top. Any candidate is responsible for the culture of the campaign.”
Noitce this how he blames trump
“But in any campaign responsibility starts at the top. Any candidate is responsible for the culture of the campaign. “
How is trump responsible for blm thugs being violent? He is not and ted cruz siding with them and justifying them
black life matters thuggery
SO trump wanted a violent blm thug to get punched out for being the violent thugs they are ? OH NO
But in any campaign responsibility starts at the top. Any candidate is responsible for the culture of the campaign.
This is like saying a woman did not wear a burqa should have been raped, blm are attacking trump because he is leading. Ted is next if lying ted somehows destroys him ,
And Cruz did respond, firing the guy who did that. There is a general culture of desperation, but then there's one in Trump's too.
This is like saying a woman did not wear a burqa should have been raped, blm are attacking trump because he is leading.
I see you bought that bogus analogy. No, it's like a woman dressing like a hooker, and then shooting the guy who whistles at her. See? Two can do that crap. Trump is responsible for the tone of his campaign, which led to that incident, just as you said.
I do!!
