Despite the fact that Ted has lost at least one endorsement and people were angry at him for what he said the other night, he not only doubled down on his comments but added to them. Cruz seems to be bordering on calling Trump a dictator and seems to be making the protesters sound like victims. Typical GOP establishment reaching across the aisle crap. The thinking is, "If I say the right thing, the media will be nice to me. The libs will like me." That line of thinking worked so well for McCain and Mitt, didn't it?

[xzins]

Ted Cruz is unhinged.

[MNJohnnie]

Well that seals the deal.

We are suppose to trust “Ted Cruz the Principled” to be the “Strongest Constitutional Conservative”?

But when an easy slam dunk issue like the Chicago riots presented Ted Cruz plays politics instead like a standard issue linguine spined GOPE politician.

If he is willing to cave to the false media meme rather then defend unreservedly defend Constitutional Principals of Free Speech and Free Assembly, what else is he willing to cave on when the pressure is on?

This guy is f***ing insane.

“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.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that they're highly disruptive, possibly violent, and should be removed.

[Zathras]

Trump sees protesters as a potential personal danger.
Only a fool would think otherwise in todays political climate.

[Guenevere]

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

[lodi90]

Cruz is using the assault on the Constitutional rights of conservatives like FReeper Bushwon in Chicago as a platform to attack Trump. This is pure and unadulterated demagoguery. Disgusting.

[petercooper]

F off Ted Cruz.

[Dana1960]

Holy cow. I’m a Trump fan, but even I can’t believe he’d say something this stupid.

Seriously?

[roses of sharon]

Good grief....does he know how stupid this sounds?

What is he thinking?

[dfwgator]

If they are paid agitators, then I say “Hell yeah” they deserve to be punished.

[blueunicorn6]

Ted:

What a big disappointment you are.

[gunnyg]

“Ted Cruz: Donald Trump sees protesters as disloyal people who must be punished”
******************
psychological projection?

[petercooper]

Rush defending Cruz right now.

[Sasparilla]

The so called protesters are part of an organized internet social media drive by BLM, LaRaza, and George Soros funded moveon.org. No sympathy for the orchestrated protests soever.
And, Ted is trying to capitalize on this organized, premeditated mob.
This is part of the politics as usual from Washington politicians that has people disgusted. Teds tactics are right out of the beltway playbook. Disgusting. Desperate.

[grania]

Constitution Ted doesn't know about First Amendment rights and HR 372 which was passed in the US Senate by unanimous consent and signed into law by Obama in 2012?

For a bright guy, there's a lot of stuff he doesn't know.

[ObozoMustGo2012]

Yes, keep pushing this narrative Ted.

The more you spread it, the faster your journey towards irrelevance will be.

[Donglalinger]

Ted going all in on stupid

[ladyjane]

To think I almost voted for this s.o.b.

His true colors have come out.

[Vision Thing]

ted is a Uniparty hack.

Eff ted.
