All you have to do is look around at the Trump-hating goons who salivate at anything and everything opposed to Trump, and worship Ted Cruz’s “principled” stand supporting those rioters in Chicago.
Don’t play that all wide-eyed innocent “oh mah goodness gracious, how could such things happen?” routine Joe, you’ve been around too long.
I am opposed to Trump, for reasons I have articulated which, frankly exposed fundamental cognitive disconnects in his campaign rhetoric from very early on. That said, I don't "hate" Trump. No one lives in my head rent free.
...who salivate at anything and everything opposed to Trump,
Sounds like someone might have a medical problem. As I said, I have my reasons for being opposed to Trump, and that alone was enough to be a deal breaker for me.
... and worship Ted Cruz’s “principled” stand supporting those rioters in Chicago.
Ted Cruz, without fanfare, arm waving, or profanity, placed the responsibility for the actions of the rioters on the rioters. Period, full stop, end of sentence.
He also commented on the basic truth that the candidate is the leader of the campaign (any candidate, any campaign), and the actions and rhetoric of that candidate set the tone of that campaign (again, any candidate, any campaign). That statement is pretty hard to argue with, simply because it is true, for any candidate and any campaign.
He did not say Trump's name.
Now, because their particular candidate had been a mite crass, and had used rhetoric supporting violent behaviour within the context of his campaign, some folks got all butthurt. They even went so far as to assert that Ted Cruz had said their candidate was at fault for the actions of others. In fact Ted Cruz had already placed the responsibility for the actions of those others squarely on those others.
Ted Cruz made no statement supporting the Communists in the streets, and if you can't admit that, then I suggest the only 'hate' going around is that reserved for Cruz. Otherwise you wouldn't lie about the man.
There is no "Oh mah goodness" going around here, just a lot of bullshit from trump acolytes who are demonizing a good man with their crap to get their candidate one step closer to losing to Hillary.
