A crowd of rowdy Donald Trump supporters lobbed insults at Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) during a Monday campaign stop in Marion, Indiana.
“You are the problem!” a crowd of anonymous men carrying Trump signs yelled at the Texas senator, calling him a “career politician.”
“Where is your Goldman Sachs jacket? We know your wife works there,” one jeered.
“On immigration, you know Donald Trump had a million-dollar judgment against him for hiring illegal aliens?” Cruz countered. “You know what he’s doing right now in Florida? He brings in hundreds of foreign workers instead of hiring Americans. Sir, with all due respect, Donald Trump is deceiving you. He is playing you for a chump.”
The tense exchange, led by a man wearing sunglasses, only got more heated from there. As Cruz tried to paint his top Republican rival as a dishonest defender of the elite, Trump’s supporters challenged Cruz on immigration, the Second Amendment and even his eligibility to run for president.
“Donald Trump has accused everyone in this race of being a liar. Donald cannot tell the truth in one minute,” Cruz said.
“You’ll find out tomorrow Indiana don’t want you,” a Trump supporter shot back, referring to the Hoosier State’s primary contest on Tuesday.
Some Cruz supporters in the crowed yelled “Yes we do!”
“Sir, America is a better place—” Cruz cut in.
The man in the sunglasses finished his sentence: "Without you."

To be honest with you, I’ll be happy when the primaries are over and done.
This anger should be directed at Hillary and the Democrats. But it will happen, eventually so I just have to be patient.
I guess one young Trump supporter yelled in the audience and Cruz said in the old days he would be spanked. Now the left is accusing Cruz of supporting corporal punishment.
I am awaiting Trump supporters here to attack Cruz for suggesting kids get spanked.
Why is rudeness of others such a championed attitude by Trump supporters?
I have yet to see any Cruz supporters doing this at Trump rally’s.
Cruz is the one that blamed Trump for the riot behavior of the Trump protesters that have put people in the hospital, and done a large amount of damage. With the same line of thought, I think we can blame the actions of this kid on Cruz.
lol. Good one!
cruz goes lower and lower..I can’t believe cruz did this...he really thinks his words matter....this man ant right....
I’m a Trump supporter and do not not condone rudeness or name calling etc., I wish you would stop it with the blanket statements.
““Sir, America is a better place—” Cruz cut in.
The man in the sunglasses finished his sentence: “Without you.”
LOL!
Listening to Ted Cruz talk down to people and lie his azz off brings that out in some people.
By the way. Your candidate can not win the nomination. He is mathematically eliminated. All he is doing by his actions, right along with Kasich, is to generate ill will. Both men need to drop out and if not support the front runner then go back to their respective careers for crying out loud.
I wouldn’t be surprised if these “Trump supporters” are on Hillary’s payroll. A nasty GOP primary helps her in November.
Never Hillary!
Saw it live on fox business. Funniest was when he told him to go back to Canada
Everytime CRUZ paused like he does. Protestor filled in the blank space.
Sure hope they have this kind of fire in the belly some November.
Pushing around milquetoast Cruz supporters is one thing.
Let’s see how they match up against the “death to America” crowd which supports the Democrat candidate.
Just sayin'....
No rude behavior at Trump rallys????????????? Are you kidding me? I try not to get too aggravated on FR... but you are a Gdamn idiot...just opus out now....Good lord almighty this is a stupid thread...I’m done.
I support Trump (as you know) and I commented earlier that cRuz should’ve left his comment, to the disrespectful kid, at “Children should speak respectfully”. He got a lot of applause and support for that. The fact that he went on to drag Trump into the example, completely negated anything positive from his previous statement.
Regarding.... Why is rudeness of others such a championed attitude by Trump supporters? I have yet to see any Cruz supporters doing this at Trump rally’s.
You may want to ask cRuz supporters in AZ why they helped the BLM protesters block the highway leading to an AZ Trump event. Several reports stated that some of those who were blocking the road were actually cRuz supporters.
“Old” How appropriate.
After Cruz threw Trump under the bus after the Chicapo rally, I hope Cruz gets even more pushback from people on the campaign trail.
After tomorrow night, this race is over, and Ted must cease and desist.
That goes double for the Son of Mailman.
The anger towards Cruz among Trump supporters on this forum stems from frustration over Cruz’s decision to stay in a race he can’t possibly win on the first ballot.
The only way he could possibly win the nomination is through a process which ignores the will of the voters, and instead relies on technicalities of the various state selection methods.
The most frustrating aspect of it all, however, is that Cruz won’t actually win on the 2nd or 3rd ballots, and is only paving the way for the GOP elitists to foist their own candidate upon the party.
That candidate will not win in the general, as frustrated Trump AND Cruz supporters write in their choices or stay home completely.
THAT is why Cruz is despised by Trump supporters.
