ABC News ^ | June 3, 2016 | Candace Smith

At this point, I have covered a year’s worth of political rallies, first following Jeb Bush and now presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.

I know all too well the hallmarks of a Trump rally, including the ubiquitous protests: Opponents coming out to express their discomfort, usually disgust, at his policies, which they view as divisive, offensive and hateful....

You’ve forgotten Chicago already?

Cruz joined, or maybe revealed his alliance with, the media who blamed Trump for the protestors.

The more acting out the better Trumps chances are of winning the state

Still using the old Cruz tactic of moving the goalposts when you’re outed I see.

Cruz blamed Trump for the protestors actions.

Trump had been talking about going back to a 50-50 funding share with NATO in Brussels, down from the 70-30 funding that exists now, as part of his policy proposal to have allies and trade partners pay for US Military protection and services. He was talking about not so long ago the US and other members of NATO shared 50-50 in the funding of NATO. He wants to go back to that arrangement.

But then the terror attacks occurred in Brussels and WITHIN HOURS my former favorite candidate Ted Cruz launched a scathing attack on Donald Trump for suggesting the US ‘cut its funding’ of NATO and drew an association with Trump’s talk topic with the terror attacks in Brussels which Cruz emphasized was the HQ of the NATO Command.

I could not believe my ears. Cruz did not even bother to pay respects to the victims nor the victim’s families. He went straight for the jugular with Trump and it was so bizarre that it caused me from that day on to judge Cruz as a maniac, having a screw loose somewhere.

And it wasn’t an isolated incident. At every appearance that Cruz had with people and the media, he was blaming everything and then some on Donald Trump. He was obsessed in a very unhealthy way.

Many of my former fellow Cruz supporters also saw there was something wrong in Cruz but they wanted to downplay it and hope that he would land a VP slot on the Trump ticket or an appointment to the Supreme Court.

But after watching and studying for months my former hero of a candidate degenerate into a pit of nonsense while surrounding himself with scumbags (Jeff Roe) and scoundrels (Neil Bush, a Bank Robber), I could take no more. He’s not fit to be anywhere near the White House or the Supreme Court.

There’s something wrong with the man. Oh for sure he can talk Constitution and push one’s conservative buttons, but there’s another layer to him which is foul, very foul.

You could not be more blatant with your shilling if you tried. Go back to RedState or to sucking off Glenn Beck.

Old news: Cruz wasn’t despised because he ran for nomination, he was and is despised for being a liar and a skunk. He stood up for leftists and accused patriots in the aftermath of violent attacks. May his name ever be reviled.

You are a real class act Objective. Any more school yard taunts? How about “want to see naked pictures of your mom”? You haven’t used that one yet. What other clever taunts do you possess?

Yeah I read that and disagreed with it.

Did you notice that it was THREE MONTHS AGO?

Come on, keep up with current events. Cruz is no longer in it.

He’s still stirring up mischief. Fact is that when these attacks on Trump’s rallies first started, Cruz joined in on the attack. It’s bad judgment in the extreme and exhibits bad faith as well.

So you respond to my first post calling me a dumbass, and when you’re proven wrong by me and numerous other posters you try shifting the goalposts and start crying for “civility”? Sad!

Considering this thread has several people who recognize objective fact, and only you persistently denying reality (the other guy backed off when he was reminded of what happened), you are the one who stands alone.

It must suck to be you, nobody except for liberals ever giving a damn about what you think.
