Ted Cruz: Donald Trump sees protesters as disloyal people who must be punished
Washington Times ^ | March 14, 2016 | David Sherfinski

Posted on 03/14/2016 10:13:32 AM PDT by Pinkbell

Sen. Ted Cruz said Monday that GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump views protesters as disloyal people worthy of punishment and that the best response to Mr. Trump is to defeat him at the ballot box, reiterating his own pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee in the fall.

Mr. Cruz re-upped criticism of Mr. Trump for recently having rally attendees pledge their support to him, likening it to an action kings and queens demand of their subjects.

“It’s also reflected in his treatment of protesters, where anyone who’s a protester is disloyal and must be punished,” Mr. Cruz told reporters in Illinois ahead of the March 15 primary there.

“The only pledge that I am interested in, the only hand-raising that I’m interested in is on January 20, 2017, when I hope to raise my right hand with my left hand on the Bible and pledge to each and every one of you that I will preserve, protect [and] defend the Constitution and fight for the hard-working taxpayers,” Mr. Cruz said.

“That is a question the voters are asking: At what point do we say ‘enough is enough?’ ” Mr. Cruz said. “If Donald Trump is the nominee, he is a disaster, and the answer is to beat him.”

Probably jealous the left doesn’t think he’s worth the effort to disrupt.

Wonder what Ted would have said about Governor Reagan when he stopped the Berkeley riots in 1969!

How Governor Reagan dealt with the Berkeley protesters in 1969!

I’ve been a loyal Cruz supporter up until now but this is too much. These are not protesters but violent disruptors. If Cruz is gonna take their side then I’m going over to the Trump camp.

I’m really tired of Cruz’s attitude/ snarky rhetoric!

Not to mention the self-serving instant psychoanalysis.

I used to like Mike Lee. Was very sorry to see him show his true colors. Evidently Sessions is the only one untainted.Go Trump!

I think it’s desperation.

Cruz is effectively dead if he loses Ohio and Florida tomorrow.

I’m in Ohio, and there’s no way that I’ll vote him.

Ted loses Ohio and he loses Florida.

If you’re implying dead Cruz is the lion/lyin’ king, kudos, but he’s also becoming like Scar the bad guy.

Nonetheless, he’ll always be the Booger King.

Looks like Ted is a fraud like Rubio

Scott Walker was my first choice

Crus was second

Then I became a Trump convert after reading his books and watching this

My Mom was leaning toward Cruz at various points and was undecided. All of this has now put her firmly in the Trump camp.

If they break the law, which nearly every protester does, then yes they should be punished. The fact that folks let these fools get away with this crap without punishment for decades is part of the damned problem.

Cruz, you are done.... I think at this point, even Texas is embarrassed by you.

Ted Cruz won’t get 10% in a general election.

If Cruz ever had a rally with large attendance, he might understand .. and if by some totally remote possibility he won the GOP nomination, these same attacks against him would start up quicker than you can say “unprincipled conservative.”

It took awhile, but the real Ted Cruz has now been revealed. It’s not pretty. Ted stands with BLM.

This message was approved by the Cruz campaign chief political adviser Al Newman.
