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."

“How do you think Trump would have handled it?”
After St. Louis, KC and Chicago, we know how he handled it.
Very well.
Cruz got a little taste of what he’s been encouraging and was flibbergibbeted.
Good.
Ignore it and have them thrown out.
Cruz got a little taste of what he’s been encouraging and was flibbergibbeted.
Cruz faced those trying to interrupt him and tried to debate them on the issue. Trump would never have done that.
That’s right. Cruz is a master debater.
More so than Trump.
He had the misfortune to run against some `Who’s yer Daddy?’ good old boys who are sick as the rest of us with his line of chit, and they handed his Hahvahd ass to him.
I have a Hoosier story for you. Let me think on it, I’ll be right back. Sit a spell. Take your shoes off.
With their grammar they demonstrated something about education in the Hoosier state all right.

I've got relatives in Chicago. They sent me an article with a long "You must be from Indiana if..." list one time. I don't remember them all but they were all along the lines of "If shopping for a new home begins with kicking the tires then you must be from Indiana" and "If your resume contains extensive carnival experience then you must be from Indiana" and "If all your favorite childhood stories end with "And then they decided not to press charges" then you must be from Indiana." I take it there's no love lost between the two states.
OK, you there DoodleDawg?
Bob, Leroy and Bubba, all from the wrong side of the Martinsville RR tracks are out deer hunting.
No problem except: it was night, they were on someone else’s land and deer weren’t in season.
They saw a big buck and Bob wanted to get closer and put a spot on it, but they had to climb a field fence.
Leroy squirmed through, Bob handed his shotgun over and Leroy laid the 870 on the wire.
Bubba started to climb over, but caught his overall snap on the shotgun trigger and blew his own dam head off.
Leroy was in tears, and Bob was temporarily flibbergibbeted, much like Cruz most of the time.
Bubba’s lying there—dead as disco, and they can’t really call the police so Bob decides to make up a story.
Bob was the brains of the three. (Of course Bubba’s were all over the landscape.)
Bob told Leroy that he would take Bubba’s body to the public hunting area and Leroy was to drive into town and give the bad news to Bubba’s wife.
“That way we’re copacetic with Fish & Game and then we can call the cops. I’ll think of something, we were target shooting or something.
“You remember how to get there, right? Next door to the Red Dog tavern, big whitewashed tractor tire planters out front. Remember?”
“And break it to her easy!” yelled Bob, because Leroy was even dumber than Bubba.
So Leroy drove into town and, after first going back to the scene of the accident, forty-five minutes later met Bob at the public hunting area.
Leroy had a case of beer under his arm.
“Did I tell you to buy beer, dummy?” said Bob.
Leroy shook his head.
Bob: “OK. Tell me how it went.”
Leroy said, “Waal, I showed up at her door and rang the doorbell.”
“Good, good.” said Bob.
“I ain’t never met her but once at the tavern, and it was dark an’ I couldn’t remember her name. I asked for Bubba’s widow.”
“An’ she said, `Well I’m Bubba’s wife, but I’m not a widow.’”
“So I said, `I’ll bet you a case of beer you are!’”
“Vulgar” right?
Buhlow me.
I'll give you that the protesters are mostly the usual suspects- Marxists Leftists, exc...who would protest and riot over Ground Hog Day if they thought it would get them more free stuff. ( And credit to Trump for not letting the lunatics prevent him from appearing in California).
But in all honesty there have been problems, or at the very least "bad optics" at some of the Trump rallies- And Trump himself mentions the possibility of riots if he's not the nominee, from time to time.
That said-Does Trump's seemingly total lack of comprehension of the importance of private property rights, (i.e. Eminent Domain seizure of private property for Trump's personal business ventures), as the foundation of our Constitutional rights, give you any pause at all about him being POTUS?
Because this is what worries me the most about a Trump presidency.
Cry a river.
It is my understanding, because it was reported by the media (so take it with a chunk of salt) that the Trump supporters were on the other side of (street?) and Cruz walked over to them to engage. If that’s true, then Trump supporters weren’t “making problems,” they were simply demonstrating.
