I don’t know that you can blame Trump directly for the violence, but you cannot completely absolve him or his supporters, either. When you have a Trump supporter sucker punching a protester, and then saying the next time he might have to kill him, and Trump supporters CHEER him; when you have Trump supporters roughing up protesters and you have the candidate approving and even offering to pay the legal bills for anyone arrested for attacking a protester; when you have Trump himself threatening to punch a protested in the face from the stage during a rally; then yes, I think you can safely say that the Trump campaign and many of his supporters share some of the blame for the potential for violence.
Whoa! A voice of reason on this thread. Good for you!
Now you’ve done it...
I tend to agree with you...

“I think you can safely say that the Trump campaign and many of his supporters share some of the blame for the potential for violence.”
BS!!!

And where is your proof for your bs?
Good; that means if Trump is shot, we can blame that stupid MSM dipwad that keeps talking about how George Wallace was inciting violence and got shot!
I haven't been following these events. I figured is was all an unimportant side show.
I see your list of supposed Trump and Trump supporter actions that supposedly make them partly responsible.
Now that the SIHingTF I will have to double check them.
That was one old ass man. He can say anything he wants. He was arrested and charged.
That event does not translate into “let’s shut down Trump’s rally’? People are allowed to say anything they want in this country. End of story.
Trump is allowed to enforce our borders and put a moratorium on Muslim immigration. It’s common sense. To believe otherwise is political correctness brain washing.
BEARS REPEATING!!!!! I stand with TED!!
you, like the MSM, took everything out of context.
Funny how Cruz is now backing the MSM, GOPe, and democrats. Kinda shows who he really is. And many here are just fine with it
Sorry but I think Move On and Sanders get’s the blame for this one. More over the media gets the most blame by developing the narrative. Conservatives respect free speech not disruptions. Again who started the problems.
In your blame you speak of about maybe a dozen people or even if it’s 50 that’s a very small percentage compared to the hundreds of thousands that have attended his rallies.
“you cannot completely absolve him or his supporters”
hardly.
And this Chicago Atrocity will make Trump President.
And the beauty of it is that Trump cancelled to avoid really bad things from happening by the leftist-anarchists who have been organizing this violence for weeks via social media, while the anarchists are crowing that they shut down a free-speech event, which isn’t going to go over too well with many people in this country. Seems to me Trump came out smelling like a rose and the anarchists came out smelling like poop.
And then Cruz sunk his own ship with this:
“Ted Cruz said violent protests are “the predictable consequence” of the atmosphere Trump’s campaign has created, while Bernie Sanders had his own strong words for the Republican presidential candidate. “
So it now appears Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders are two peas in a pod. Who woulda thunk it?
