I shouldn’t call you an idiot but I am angry. There is no excuse for what happened in Chicago and anyone who believes in free speech should be appalled and denouncing it.
Absolutely, stay outside on the sidewalk.
Or get a ticket, come in and sit still and learn something.
Inside protesters, I have no problem with them being ejected (force-ably if they resist) This should be followed by an arrest and remember, Trump does not settle.
I didn’t deflect. Ted criticized Trump for using the same language Reagan used against protesters. I guess you also have a problem with Reagans words.
So...just where exactly can we find this culture of violence that you think Trump is inciting amongst his supporters in his speeches?
Trump rally Chicago 3/11/2016
MUSLIMS PROTESTERS UNITED AGAINST TRUMP
***** Cruz backs up the thugs instead of Trumps right to speak.
This will not go well for Cruz. *****
That’s my thinking as well.
On psycho Glenn Beck’s website, He too is blaming Trump and not the protesters. EVERY..not most, but EVERY Trump article presented on psycho Beck’s site is negative. Psycho Beck is trying his best to whip up his cult followers to a anti-Trump frenzy.
“what was wrong about what Ted said?”
I’ll try one more time: Ted slammed Trump for using the same language against protesters that Ronald Reagan used.
I’m not surprised Beck is blaming Trump.
He has already called Trump supporters NAZI’s.
Beck is a certified loon.
Trump speaking about punching protesters in the mouth at multiple rallies.
He gave an opening politically to these thugs and they took it. Perhaps he isn’t as smart as he tells everyone he is. He was orchestrating his reality show and things have spun out of control.
You’re grasping for an excuse to excuse those who are actually the violent ones.
You are full of crap.
Oh nonsense, these agitators/anarchists have been around for a very long time; they have overthrown legitimate legal govts around the world and replaced those govts with communist dictatorships, betraying, enslaving, and impoverishing the people, and butchering those within their borders who dissent. In this country, they surface whenever a pro-American/anti-totolitarian/conservative candidate with traction emerges.
They have even destroyed presidencies; when Nixon was succeeding in VietNam they brought him low, LBJ refused to run again rather than face them!
To blame Trump for this is disgusting, and shows an ignorance of history that is appalling! You should not be attacking Trump about this, you should be screaming for a leader to stand up to them and destroy them — not placate or justify them as Cruz has done — know this, we will all surely be ruined if they ever gain the upper hand!
(And you call us low-info)
I have supported Ted Cruz. I do not like, nor do I trust Donald Trump. But Ted Cruz has lost me. With what happened in Chicago, ALL the Republican candidates should have united behind Trump against the Bill Ayers/Bernadine Dohrn Chicago Communist Gustoppo machine.
I am behind Trump on this. It also means I will close my eyes, hold my nose and vote for him in the CA primary. As I said I cant stand himband I dont trust him, but if Ted Cruz cant place the blame where it belongs and stand up against Ayers/Dohrn, Black Lives Matter, La Raza and all other leftist hate groups, he cant have my vote
I heard Trump in an interview disavow the sucker-puncher, not “mostly silent” as you suggest.
One’s 1st amendment rights do not extend into a private rally in rented space. You want to protest, take it outside across the street, after getting a permit to protest.
If I were spout off, saying “I’m gonna’ punch whoever breaks into my house,” it does not justify someone breaking into my house just to test my words, even if they pose no bodily threat to me.
But as we saw today in Dayton, with a protester attempting assault, and hear word that there was an organized effort to get a large Chicago group to rush the stage last evening, the “opposition” is not merely conducting an illegal protest, testing Trump’s words, removing my right to assembly and Trump’s right to free speech. No, it is much more...it is a planned assault on a US presidential candidate.
BLM and MoveOn have been around a lot longer than Trump has been in politics. You are being purposefully naive if you think that anything Trump has said is what has brought on this response.
When you give out tickets to the public the rally is no longer a private event.
This does not absolve the leftist of anything, it also doesn’t leave trump blameless either.
I don’t excuse anyone, either the communist nor trump.
Maybe this will help...

“FOR ONCE, I AM ON TRUMPS SIDE”
“Blaming Trump for inflammatory rhetoric would make sense if his followers were roaming the streets attacking passers-by, or infiltrating Clinton and Sanders rallies and attacking Democrats. But they arent. Not a single such instance has occurred. On the contrary, every violent or disruptive event has involved people associated with the Democratic Party trying to prevent Trump from being heard. Whose inflammatory rhetoric has inspired them? Certainly not Trumps. The brownshirts are all on the left.
Leftists are the instigators here, and they deserve unqualified condemnation. There is no excuse for trying to shut down a speech by a politician with whom you disagree. And it is shameful that many liberals, and even a few conservatives, have seized the opportunity to blame anti-Trump excesses on Trump.”
Ted, you had me for a few months.
One man is going after the rabid left and you decide to blame him.
ohhh..sorry!!
