[A CA Guy]

A pox on Cruz at this point.

[TigerClaws]

The astro turf Black Lives Matter group was rioting many months before Trump announced his candidacy.

[rktman]

Uh, ted, FAIL! The ever tolerant radical leftist P’sOS are responsible. They have violated somebody’s first amendment rights by these actions. And, no other than billy boy ‘guy down the street’ was right there in the thick of it.

1st amendment for me but not for thee.

[bramps]

Easy to now understand why Sarah Palin endorsed Trump over this skunk Cruz. She must have come to get to know what a weasel he is.

[w1andsodidwe]

Ted just needs to go. Who would ever vote for him after this kind of behavior. I know, I know those of you who are so pure that you can only vote for him because he is the only one that won’t fund planned parenthood or some such. While I think that is important, I happen to think our country and winning this election is much more important than one single issue. We do not have the luxury of the perfect unelectable candidate this time. Give it up.

[Salvation]

Absolutely not true.

The protestors were organized by anti-freedom groups. Check out the threads. It’s there.

[DouglasKC]

That's it exactly...it was absolutely a coordinated attack on a political rally by a cadre of violent radical leftists and Cruz had the gall to blame it on Trump.

His one out might be to say that he didn't know it was coordinated but one would have to be living under a rock to not know that.

[roses of sharon]

That awkward moment when you find yourself siding with George Soros, Black Lives Matter, Bernie Sanders, the far left, and the GOPe.

Very disappointed in Cruz tonight.

[Hugin]

Sounds just like Obama. You’re dead to me Ted.

[Paradox]

While I have said that I will support Trump if he gets the nomination, I have been favoring Ted since the beginning, but THIS is highly disappointing. I don’t like this at all.

[truth_seeker]

This guy had a chance to stand with Trump and ask for the other two candidates to do likewise, with a position of solidarity against those who would disrupt our freedom to assemble, discuss our ideas peacefully.

Instead he caves to the mobs. Plain and simple he is a political opportunist.

In 1968 and again in 1972 America answered with votes for Nixon who ran on Law & Order against those who would disrupt our political system.

The rioters are trying to initiate anarchy.

Cruz is a big letdown. I know he thinks he is the smartest guy in any room, but he is young, brash, too sure of himself, and frankly his judgment has shown itself wanting several times.

[GLDNGUN]

DisgusTED

[Rashputin]

The GOPe and Soros crowd are working hand in hand to attack Trump.

Tonight Cruz gave both groups the green light so they know he's not going stand in their way or reject any tactic they use. Why anyone expected anything else from Cruz who has been nurtured by the Bush camp is beyond me.

Cruz figures our First Amendment rights end when the PC crowd decides they don't like the "tone" of your comments but Cruzbots claim he'd be a fine USSC Justice of not President.

[TBP]

He did not say that. What he did in fact say was that the responsibility rests with the protesters.

[jurtal]

Misleading headline. Cruz didn't say Trump was responsible for the violence. He said Trump was responsible for creating a negative atmosphere. Exact quote:

"Any candidate is responsible for the culture of the campaign. And when you have a campaign that disrespects the voters, when you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence, when you have a campaign that is facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press, you create an environment that only encourages this kind of nasty discord."

[chalkfarmer]

At least once a day, I understand why I hate Ted Cruz.

[rwoodward]

FUTed!!

[Bubba Gump Shrimp]

was it Condi Rices tone that set off the demonstrations against her?
