If he's not implying that then why drag Donald Trump into it?

Cruz was laying out a policy difference - Trump is an isolationist, Cruz is not. Trump laid out his isolationist stance just yesterday at a Washington Post roundtable.

If you can't deal with your can [sic] with your candidates propensity to blame Trump ...

If you can't understand Cruz was not blaming Trump, but was highlighting a policy difference, you're highlighting the lack of intellectual rigor so many conservatives here and elsewhere have lamented among the Trump crowd. You are FEELING, not THINKING, and that's no way to make a rational decision.

And again, I'm actually sympathetic to Trump's position! But you and your comrades aren't doing Trump any favors when you post utter bull$#!^ accusing Cruz of blaming Trump for something when Cruz clearly didn't.

Oh, is that the same thing as when during AIPAC, Cruz said Trump and Hillary have the same view on the Iran Deal? Minutes after Trump explained his position?

Like I said, it’s a two way street, and anti-Trumpers trying to act above the fray don’t come off to well either.

What is clear to me is Cruz lied about Trump’s position regarding Nato ...

Right. Many Trumpsters have a bolder (Big chip) on their shoulder.

Let's say you're right that it's a "policy statement". Any rational person would look at his words and conclude that Cruz is saying that Donald Trump's policy about NATO led to the attack on Brussels.

I don't know why you can't be honest about this. Clearly Cruz was trying to gain political advantage by tying Donald Trump and his NATO policy to the Brussels attack. Clearly. There's no need to mention Donald Trump at all unless that was his intention.

I'm not "feeling" at all. I'm reading what a cold calculating ambitious SOB Cruz is and how he methodically and calculatingly tried to blame Trump for an ISIS terror attack.

Shouldn't be surprised though...he did the same thing at the Chicago rally. Tried to blame Trump for the actions of far left radical groups.

Cruz is your typical neocon. They love neverending war. That’s one of the main reasons Trump is despised.

Trump was talking about budget negotiations regarding NATO. Of course, those sold out to foreign interests would fully support the lopsided budgeting of NATO. Always put American LAST.

And to make Trump look like a villain for wanting to save the USA some money? Oh how delicious to a sellout.

I’m not saying Cruz is a sellout, but the Bush dynasty or McCain or Grahamnesty talked him into this, and Cruz is either stupid or ‘contest the convention at all costs’.

But hey, Cruz has a brillaint idea for fighting the war on terror ...

Cruz for police to patrol Muslim neighborhoods

You never know, someone might drop an assault rifle on the street, right? I mean, so brillaint to think Americans are so STUPID. What kind of moron thinks that idea will actually help?
