It’s too early to tell, IMHO, if the damage Cruz has done to himself in the last couple weeks is fatal, but there is no doubt in my mind he has shot himself in the foot — big time. Unless he wakes up and starts smelling the coffee he’s finished. Almost every Cruz supporter I have talked to has expressed acknowledgment, if not admiration, for the fact that Trump is the only candidate out there on our side who is willing to fight the Leftists using the same tactics they use against us.
Trump was the victim here. No. Actually, the thousands of tax paying, hard working Americans who traveled for hours to listen to Trump, who paid their own money for a chance to hear him speak, who attempted to engage in the political process in a law abiding manner, are the victims.
The Leftist political machine shut down a major Trump campaign event at the trivial cost of a few busloads of fanatics, a willingness to engage in cut-throat extremism, and absolutely no fear of media censure — and they have by and large gotten away with it.
The willingness of Cruz to piously denounce Trump in the aftermath of what should be a very serious wakeup call as to what he can expect if somehow Trump is sidelined is as stupid as it is incomprehensible. Does he really think that if, somehow, Trump is taken out, all these Leftist Strumptruppen are just going to head back to Mommy’s basement, fire up fatties, and chill?
At this point, every single current and former candidate on the Right should be linking arms and telling the Left that actions like this will have consequences and they cannot expect to attack and disrupt our political events without meeting some serious, effective, in-your-face resistance.
But nope...
As I said, I am angry, I am disappointed, and I want Cruz to know it. I am not throwing over on him — yet. He can come back from this, but he’s going to have to eat a healthy-heaping-helping of humble pie and get his head out of his ass ASAP. My rope is definitely fraying.

You will know Tuesday night if Cruz has run out of time.
He sided with the Rabble Rousers and that may have been his Waterloo. He lost me with that one although I would still Vote for him in the General Election if he were the Nominee as I hope everyone would.
Months ago I said things can change in an instant. Well, here we are. I thought Cruz would run the table since he was the first one in. So much for my picking the winning Horse at the Racetrack.
