Friday evening’s Donald Trump rally in Chicago was broken up by a foul-mouthed mob that infiltrated the hall and forced the cancellation of the event to prevent violence and bloodshed.
Brownshirt tactics worked. The mob, triumphant, rejoiced.
And the reaction of Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and John Kasich?
All three Republican rivals blamed – Donald Trump.
With his “dangerous style of leadership,” Trump stokes this anger, mewed Rubio, “This is what happens when a leading presidential candidate goes around feeding into a narrative of bitterness and anger and frustration.”
Rubio implies that if Trump doesn’t tone down his remarks to pacify the rabble, he will be responsible for the violence visited upon him.
Kasich echoed Rubio: “Donald Trump has created a toxic environment (that) has allowed his supporters and those who sometimes seek confrontation to come together in violence.”
But were the thousands of Trump supporters who came out to cheer him that night really looking for a fight? Or were they exercising their right of peaceful assembly?
Cruz charged Trump with “creating an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discord,” thus offering absolution to the mob.
Friday night cried out for moral clarity. What we got from Trump’s rivals was moral mush that called to mind JFK’s favorite quote from Dante: The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in time of moral crisis maintain their neutrality.

My family and I won't be on that bus but, should it leave the station, we'll pray for you and the driver and even the speed bump. God bless you. Your confidence is admirable.
Trump will win in a Yuuge landslide!
False meme that can be said of any major candidate at times.
Where it counts, more people have voted for Trump than for any other individual candidate - your "statistic" smells of what the MSM does when it wants to lie to us w/o actually telling the lie it is implying.
I’ll withhold my disappointment until he does and then betrays you.
That’s because, you’re delusional.
I didn't imply anything. I contradict your assertion that he represents the "will of the people" until a majority of them actually vote for him.
He did get a majority in Massachusetts if you include the crossover Democrats.
There's no way to know unless it happens and I hope it doesn't.
It's definitely an ideology, with the end of sovereign nation states as its ultimate goal. "Multiculturalism" really means using the culture of immigrants and minorities as a means of erasing the cultures of developed nations.
Well I hear Cape Breton is offering to take any Americans who want to flee the US if Trump wins so theres that option for you and your family. :-)
These people are driven by neurotic compulsions, not rationally focused thought.
It's similar to Marxism: there's the "brotherhood of man" that the rank and file believed, while those at the top knew what the actual totalitarian aims were all about.
Incidentally, the "brotherhood" of man fallacy was around well before Marx. The Jacobins incorporated that in their three pronged slogans, as they rained terror on France, as a prime example.
Thrive where your planted ;-)

Fixed.

As news outlets have reported, Friday’s disruption at the University of Illinois-Chicago auditorium was a preplanned assault.
Behind it were the George Soros-funded MoveOn.org, Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street, Hispanics hoisting Mexican flags and cop-haters carrying filthy signs to show their contempt for police.
People for Bernie, a pro-Sanders outfit, tweeted, “[This] wasn’t just luck. It took organizers from dozens of organizations and thousands of people to pull off. Great work.”

After leaving the trauma and drama of the Chicago rally, I cannot begin to describe the outrage I felt when sat down in my family room and turned on the TV to find GOP candidates bashing Trump!!!! The disrupters and thugs were protesting against all kinds of things besides Trump including the police and City DA. But then a person would need to live in Chicagoland and understand CHicago politics to recognize that. The City did not do nearly enough to keep the Trump supporters safe....it is not Trump’s “fault” the protesters came as some insinuated.
Yes, Dante quote: The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in time of moral crisis maintain their neutrality crossed my mind several times last Friday!

Let's assume you want Cruz so have trouble believing that more of the People actually prefer Trump.
Cruz's numbers indicate that he has even less of a mandate than trump but he is still trying to play spoiler by aspiring to a contested convention in the hopes that someone with far fewer votes than Trump get the nod. Being in Mississippi, I'm still smarting from what Barbour and company did to McDaniel (and the people of Mississippi) when they pulled their shenanigans to re-seat Cochran.
What Cruz is attempting, by playing the spoiler, is akin to that - can't get the votes so stomp his feet and pray that Trump comes up even a vote shy of the requisite number so he has his own slim chance.
If Cruz is successful in being the spoiler, I predict we lose by a bigger margin than we did with McCain and Romney (which gave us 8 years of Obama) and we end up letting Hillary in - Cruz doesn't excite as many people as trump and his role as spoiler will piss a ,lot of folks off and they won't transfer their votes to Cruz. He claims we need to unite (as does Trump) but he is the dissident at this time.
There's no way to know that because it wasn't a two man race. And no one got a majority. I believe Cruz is more people's 2nd or 3rd choice rather than Trump but there's no way to prove that either.
It's obvious the base is severly divided. You wish Cruz would quit just like we wished everyone else would quit. I would be outraged if he quit. I don't fear Hillary. I fear God.
The silver lining in this for me is the destruction of the GOP the leaders and rule makers of which, have betrayed us repeatedly. That's something maybe all FReepers can eventually celebrate.
I wish he would drop because he has zero chance of getting the nomination (unless it's contested and he has made a deal with some of the evil ones you should really fear). How many holier than thou fools claim it's their "fear of God" that allows them to abide by allowing the most evil choice in - time after time after time? It's a cop out plea and demeans Him to open those doors in His name.
Personal attacks notwithstanding, I’ll never accept a phoney dilemma again. My hope was never with Cruz though I voted for and would do so again. He and his delegates will thunder our cause at the convention as nominee or not.
