They all thought this was an opportunity to finish Trump.
It is having the opposite effect.
If any of them (Cruz, Rubio,etc) win the presidency the same thing is going to happen to them, just because they’re republican. Maybe not at their rallies but while they are in the White House. This violence has been festering for years. Zero heightened it with his administration and its been swallowed and swept under the rug for a long time. Trump exposed all the crap that’s been shoved down our throats, and now the genie is out of the bottle. These other candidates want the genie tucked safely back into the bottle, swept under the rug and to go away. Not so sure that’s gonna happen.
