The senior citizen who slugged the protester who was already on his way out with security was looking for a fight. To try to pretend otherwise is just fooling yourself. Cruz has had protesters and handled them without encouraging assault and battery. The bad guys are the obnoxious protesters, as Cruz has also said, but a leader sets the tone, even in a rally.
What you mean Trumps rallies actually have some energy and are dead like Cruzs’.
‘Cruz has had protesters and handled them without encouraging assault and battery.’
Cruz also wimped out on the muslim ban.
Cruz also wimped out on waterboarding.
Cruz doesn’t want to make waves. That way all the flak flies at Trump. In other words, he’s not ready to lead. Trump is.
It’s high time that someone confronted the ‘Unhinged’ and exposed them for the creeps they are. But it takes a leader to do something like that.
Glad I have Michelle Malkin’s book, “Unhinged”. Explains it all.
Cruz is a tool. Isis is laughing their asses off at us now. Let’s just set a tone and agree to stand down as a general policy. That was easy! Isis has now agreed to behead us with a sharp knife rather than a rusty one. Who will lead and set the tone when the crap really hits the fan? If political correctness isn’t corrected, we don’t stand a chance. The agitators and paid actors and protesters would sooner take up with ISIS than defend America.
Yeah, one old man let his understandable anger get the better of him. One old man among the hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters who have attended the rallies. Meanwhile every single leftist “protester” has been there to disrupt, many in response to an explicit call to disrupt put out by leftist organizations.
Yet what we get from Cruz is some perfunctory throat clearing about the leftists, followed by a BUT, and then the real accusation of fault which is directed at Trump.
You are correct that leaders set the tone. The leaders of groups like MoveOn.org are precisely who set the tone for the Chicago rally. Unlike the other Republicans, Trump is facing real organized disruption from the most powerful leftist groups, That’s primarily because he’s the frontrunner with the boldest positions, and is the one who’s most resoundingly expressing the will of the silent majority.
If Cruz were in Trump’s position, would he “lead” by debating every thug who rushes his stage? Would he have infinite patience as they disrupted nearly every one of his rallies for twenty or thirty minutes at a time? Trump and his supporters have actually been quite restrained in the face of this unprecedented leftist effort to disrupt.
The Donald is chastized while someone gives an old man the finger and gets his ass kicked and takes flack for a breitbart liar getting a bruise on her wrist.
Somehow I just don't have any sypmathy......
Is there any sanity left in the media?
