"....after Cruz's pandering to a Leftwing media narrative, which seeks to blame Donald Trump for the organized thuggery that shut down his rally in Chicago,...."

Open your ears and stop hearing only what you want to hear.

Cruz said: "As violence broke out the rally was canceled altogether. Now the responsibility for that lies with protestors who took violence into their own hands. But in any campaign responsibility lies at the top.

Don't you think that when Trump has said he likes the old days when we could fight back and carry them out on a stretcher, then he says he would like to punch him in the face, isn't contributing to a brawl type of mentality?

Compare that to how Ted Cruz handles hecklers.

Did any of those remarks at previous rallies have anything to do with an organized assembly of would be bullies in Chicago, intent upon destroying the purpose of the Trump rally? They were, after all, simply reactions to others trying to disrupt at earlier times.

Remember, the rally in Chicago was a lot more than merely an opportunity for Donald Trump to exercise his free speech; it was an opportunity for his supporters to exercise their right to peaceably assemble to express their grievances against an over-reaching Federal Government. What is ultimately at stake, here, is the right to express dissent to the new norms the "politically correct" theorists are trying to force upon the rest of us.
