Ted Cruz Pledges to Support Donald Trump Unless He Actually Shoots Someone
ABC ^ | 3/14/16 | VERONICA STRACQUALURSI PAOLA CHAVEZ

Sen. Ted Cruz has vowed to support GOP front-runner Donald Trump if he secures the Republican nomination -- but he has one condition.

"I can give you one example where I would no longer support Donald Trump. If for example, he were to go out on Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, I would not be willing to support Donald Trump," Cruz said today at a press conference in Rockford, Illinois.

Cruz’s reference is to when, back in January, Trump joked at a campaign rally in Sioux Center, Iowa, that his supporters would stand behind him even if he shot someone.

“Liar Cruz, typical stinking lawyer, cannot even
give a pledge without his nasty false innuendo.”

You guys have gone completely nutso. Cruz can’t even crack a joke without you getting your panties in a wad.

“When the time comes, Trump should tell him to keep his endorsement.”

I guess you want everyone who is for Cruz to stay home. That’s mighty Democrat of you.

Jees, Lighten up Francis. This thing will be all but over soon and people will need to coalesces around a candidate. Pissing everyone off really doesn't accomplish much, it's a primary election.

No, it’s the Cruzbots who are nuts for continuing to support one of the sleaziest, slimiest, two-faced politicians of all time.

The implication of Cruz’s remark was clear. He’s in league with the left in trying to make Trump out to be a promoter of totalitarian-styled violence. Any Cruzbot who denies that’s the case is being completely dishonest — just like Cruz.

Oh come on, can’t we have a little levity? We’re talking about Ted promising to support Donald, no one actually suggested Trump was seriously going to shoot someone.

We’re starting to sound like the feminists in the canonical light bulb joke.

(though to be fair — and I support Cruz — he’s terrible at delivering jokes)

The Trump fans here remind me of the North Koreans who worship Dear Leader and have to cry when he wants them to and get flogged if they don’t cheer loud enough. It really is that bad. They are losing their minds!!

I saw the humor and chuckled a bit too.
I don’t think anyone in the MSM will see it that way.

Just what I was thinking. Trump said he could go out and shoot some and not lose his supporters. Everyone knew it was a joke. Now Cruz plays into Trumps joke but to the Trumpsters it's not a joke anymore. It is just another excuse to tear into Cruz with scorn and hateful comments.

Cruz is getting more weird and creepy the longer this primary goes. I’m actually grateful it’s all gone on this long. It’s been a fascinating vetting process. And to think I used to be a supporter.

This lip reading YouTube video is very funny, and now seems actually pretty damn accurate:

You are so right. Why Ted Cruz suported Pol Pot when he was a youth. Every night I sleep in fear that Ted will lead hordes of plaid clad Canadians across the border to force us to watch hockey.

Ted is so far left he is a Maoist Marxist who makes Stalin look like a Saint. Now some people would call such statements crazy talk that would put you in a nut farm. But not me. Why look at Ted’s wife and children, spawns of the devil.You’d have to be crazy to not see that Ted Cruz is the bigest danger to America since Lucifer.

Why, Hillary is even better than Ted Cruz. Ted just clams to be faithful to his wife and oppose abortion, but it is all a scam to hide his Luciferian intent to turn America into a Godless Gomorrah.

Why, only Trump supporters are clean enough to receive the sacred light of The Donald, who was born of virgin birth. Trump doesn’t need no stinking Cruz supporters to beat Hillary, no, Cruz supporters are the scum of the earth. Trump doesn’t need anyone, only true believers.

Actually...the creepy and weird part is where the Trumpster is fantasizing about shooting people on 5th Avenue, while his minions continue to slavishly flock to his side.

This doesn't seem to present any particular issue for you, for reasons you have yet to adequately explain.

But Cruz, who has made no such violent statements, is "creepy and weird" for lending a humorous context to The Donald's utterly strange, bizarre remarks.

Go figure.

And you can’t even see Cruz’ bizarre behavior with your own eyes.
