...I just said that by condemning Trump instead of the protestors, the anti-Trump politicians are taking the focus off of the Left. Words matter a great deal, which is why Cruz is being condemned. I honestly have no idea how you read my post to suggest that words don’t matter.
Do you honestly think for a second that these Leftist thugs wouldn’t attack Cruz if he held a big convention in Chicago? He may be trying to kiss up to the GOP-e now, but he’s promoted conservative thought enough to the point where he would be a desirable target for the Left. Were Cruz to be attacked by Leftist thugs, it certainly wouldn’t be Cruz’s fault. Under this hypothetical, the only appropriate response from Trump would be to condemn the protestors.
I acknowledge the fact that the Left cannot be reasoned with. I personally have no issue with getting rid of them by any means necessary, and execution has traditionally been the best deterrent to criminal activity. They do not merely disagree with us. I would certainly hope that someone who legitimately believes Trump is a Leftist would seek to have him removed by any means necessary.
By playing ball with the GOP-e, who are inarguably Leftists, Cruz endorses the Left. Maybe he’s doing that out of political necessity, or maybe he has changed his opinions on conservatism. In practical terms, it doesn’t matter; he’s a threat.
To be honest, I don't think ANY of the Republican nominees are massively thinking about the LEFT right now. I think they are trying to win an election against fellow Republicans.

My apologies if I didn't understand what you were trying to say. Let's try this again......because I may be missing your meaning.

I KNOW the leftists hate Cruz....but why should they mess with him now since the "right" is doing such a good propagandist job of destroying him? All they have to do is sit back and enjoy the show....but I know that would change in a heartbeat should he get "closer" to the White House.

Okay...as I listened to Cruz's comments, I heard two things. About the Chicago protesters, he said that it was wrong to try to "silence Trump"....which is a trick the left uses quite often and he didn't agree with that.
I DON'T AGREE with that tactic either.
The St Louis episode that happened earlier in the day when a Trump attendee sucker punched a protester...and the reports coming out of a reporter being "manhandled" were when Cruz talked about campaigns being responsible for the "mood" of their followers and how Trump's "punch them out" rhetoric was going to produce more episodes similar to these two incidents.
I AGREE with that assessment, too. That's the playbook Black Lives Matter use against anyone that doesn't agree with them.......I REALLY don't like it when "our side" does the same thing.

Hmmmm, so would you just execute the leftists who broke the law....or execute ALL dissenters on the left?
