So this happened. Trump supporters today walked out on Senator Ted Cruz during his CPAC speech.
Here’s the video.
People walk out on Cruz Cruz gets booed and people leave the place as he attacks Trump.

CRuz’s performance gets CReepier, by the day. Short vid. Be sure and watch til the end.
I'm well aware of my periodic sin of 'wordiness,' but can't seem to conquer it. I feel an attack coming, continue reading at your own peril. As a casino operator I have no complaints with Trump. There is, allegedly, smoke regarding him as a casino builder and a casino financier, but none that I'm aware off as a casino operator. But Trump seems to prefer leading with others of his accomplishments and I'm willing that preference. I thought his supporters would too, hence my comment on your gambling metaphor. There is no shortage of Donald to praise or critique without discussing the gambling.
Now I agree we're obscenely in debt and most of both parties are to blame. I don't think anyone is thinking big enough for its solution. If the reason for having Trump is he's the biggest and best wrecking ball I wish he'd aim that at entitlements. The numbers don't work with out drastic reforms there.
I'm for a sink or swim aproach to reeducating the welfare class into a working class: end the food support, the country needs a diet. End the cash welfare for health adults, minimize unemployment insurance and end the minimum wage. Those with minimum skills might not make much, but they'll be able to make something and will be motivated to gain skills. Return housing and heating support to the states. Audit the heck out of disability eligibility.
Build the wall, disqualify illegals from all federal aid, enforce laws against hiring illegals and shut down the visa overstays. We'll have all the cheap labor we need—if the former welfare class wants to eat. If they are as good as they brag they are they'll grow into a real middle class in time.
Our seven richest counties should be no where near DC. De-authorize federal employee unions. Shut down tons of government alphabet soup and cut the pay and benefits to private standards for most of the rest.
Privatize college loans, end the regulations requiring them to be administrative monstrosities, much of the federal research budget and let the liberal meccas collapse under their own wait down to something useful. There are alleged to be a bunch of smart folks there. Let them figure out how to make themselves work and how to produce a useful work product at an affordable cost! Get the feds out of primary education and end all the federal strings regarding that on the states. Privatize social security, at least for those not at or near retirement age. Get the feds out of healthcare, at least for those not nearly retired or disabled. It will be cheaper and better without all the federal strings. Return the responsibility for healthcare to the poor to the states without federal strings.
Start selling of federal land in the west, but prudently so as to get good value. Remove nearly all the corrupt tax deductions and put in a low flat tax. Aim for lower revenue so as to grow the economy, but for at least a small surplus after all the spending cuts.
Defense spending will need to grow someone, given that we're de facto at war, the other side doesn't want to stop now and all the damage Obama has done to our current military. But given the relatively small proportion of current GDP now devoted to defense that can be paid for through the social spending cuts. But get rid of the PC waste there and the PC rules of engagement. Let potential enemies know we'll spend money to minimize our casualties, but not to minimize theirs. Those supporting our enemies are also our enemies and don't deserve our protection. When we beat them they should feel beaten and not want to fight us ever again.
You’re attempting to compare the epic widespread corruption in D.C. today, to what happened during Lincoln’s day? Government at all levels is out of control. So bad if the Founders walked into Congress today, they’d likely be arrested for being extreme radicals attempting to overthrow this reckless government controlled by those with bad intentions. I don’t think you understand the magnitude of damage the insiders in D.C. have done, much of which has certainly not been by mistake or happenstance.
Trumps life was threatened by Beck.
Secret Service visited the Blaze studio. When they discovered Beck was at CPac he was advised to stay away until their investigation was over
Trump is a puusy.
Proverbs 6:16-19King James Version (KJV)
Forget party. The GoP hates Ted Cruz because he calls the GoP on there lies.
Consider instead what God wants:
Proverbs 6:16-19
16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Trump has labelled Cruz a liar, and the only evidence Trump can provide is the Iowa Ben Carson thing and that was those working for him passing on a CNN report. Cruz did not lie, and his workers did not knowingly spread lies.
It is common for the biggest accuser to be guilty of what they charge to others in order to justify their own failures.
Next consider what of those seven Trump is guilty of...a proud look, all lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood (his praise and support of Planned Murderhood), sowing discord. I ask, as a fellow fundamental Baptist, please reconsider your choice.
He can't attack what doesn't exist.
Sore Cruzerman: you Cruz, you luz!
Sore Cruzerman: as oily as Raphael.
Bwahahaha!
Love it!
Good used to like Ted but he is a sell out fraud
It should not influence how anyone thinks, but it verifies to me that my thinking is right.
The dastardly plan backfired.
Someone also suggested maybe Ivanka is having her baby.
But I tend to believe the Beck threat is behind it.
Right, on all points.
Many Trump supporters “walk out” on the truth.
They ignore the facts, the record, the statements, the history, and the contradictions of Donald J. trump..
Trump supporters seem to like short messages, sprinlkled with foul words.
It’s how Trump talks and they like it that way.
Thinking isn’t necessary.
Fox camera swung to cover walkout for a couple seconds until someone realized this would help Trump, so the quickly swung back away from the protesters.
Ted had an embarrassed look on his face. Embarrassed that people would walk out on him. Of course he had just mocked Trump and his supporters. Ted is a sleazebag. Cruz & Beck, brothers in arms.
LOL. I have been threatened and insulted by Trump Supporters on facebook. What happens most time is that once you start scoring points on them, they call you a F***wad and then offer to activate your dental plan.
You Trump people are a scary bunch. I have been worried about the liberals but you guys are out there when it comes to threats. I carry a pistol because of people like you.
Oh, give me a break.
The Cruzbots are the ones who sound like they are Democrat Underground rejects.
You guys have pathological issues and probably shouldn’t even be allowed to own a gun since you shoot yourselves in the foot so often
That’s rich. You guys are worse than a Cult. What next, screaming Donald is god before beating up people who disagree.
Seen more reasonable people at a insane asylum. You guys should take your meds and relax.
As for owning a pistol, at least Cruz defended the 2nd amendment while Trump was giving cash to those who would take it away.
