You know folks, when your candidate has jumped the shark, you might just well accept you have too.

There is nobody I loathe more than leftwing/commie professional agitators. They are the worst of the worst and Ted Cruz giving them air support is not much different than those same lefties saying they are violent because the police are meanies.

When he aligns with and excuses that sort of behavior from those sorts of groups, he's lost me.

Like the rape victim shares in the blame for creating an environment for it. Geez. Think it though, man!

I think that millions of people see Cruz clearly for the first time.

"...bore responsibility for “creating an environment” that encourages violence at his events."

Trumpsters will spin this as a direct attack on Trump - of course, anything but the highest praise for Trump is seen as a slight.

I was a big Cruz supporter until this morning. I even chewed out a friend earlier this week who was also a Cruz supporter for “early voting” for Trump. Now, I’m going to have to apologize.

I blame Cruz and his #1 supporter Glenn Beck that claimed he would continually stab Trump if he got near him.

Yep. Cruz should have called on Bernie and Hillary to calm things down.

Who is fanning the flames. Benin is calling for a revoltion and it was his supporter disrupting Trump’s rally.

If Trump supporters were disrupting Hillary or Bernie rallues, then I think Trump should say something.

I think all the Republicans should be denouncing the potestors.

I was a Cruz supporter, but that turned me off.

If the NYT is telling the truth, something that ALWAYS should be questioned, then Cruz is an enabler of these interrupters and attackers.

Trump created the Ferguson and Baltimore riots? Trump created BLM and the Occupy movement? Trump created Alinsky, Soros, Ayers etc? Get real, man.

So, other than the black lives matters stuff, why are black agitators mad at Trump? He hasn't said anything that I can recall that would be a negative for them.

Let's be honest, a President Trump is much more likely to create an environment where more jobs exist in this country versus a President Hillary and Trump hasn't run on a campaign of cutting every social service.

..every candidate makes mistakes during a campaign. Some can be recovered from, and some cannot.

This one could be that infamous straw--time will tell...

-- he is saying he shares blame in that he created the environment for it. --

"A campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment where the candidate urges supporters to engage in violence," Sen. Cruz said.

You can "fine pick" that any way you want to, and I'm sure you will find people who agree with you. But I find Cruz and kasich (and Bernie and HIllary), and to a lesser extent, Rubio's remarks to be indefensible, opportunist, and reprehensible. And, FWIW, that is what I see you have hitched your wagon to.

Ted Cruz lost tons of supporters tonight and as far as I am concerned the Tea Party and The GOP just died tonight!! https://t.co/pq2cR6RNbP— Laura Stietz(@laura_stietz) March 12, 2016

I still cannot get over the sheer gut-punch hearing this from him.

Of all people....of all people.

This is the Rubicon. Anyone that refuses to cross can go home. Just go, say nothing to us ever again about how much you love liberty and the constitution or freedom, because it was all just talk. Talk waiting for the first cool breeze from the left to send you tumbling over like a weak twig.

This goes for any big shot conservative writer, commentator, pundit or whomever.

If you side with these thugs, then you deserve no sympathy from us when they come for you. I will no longer worry about your safety, security or livelihoods. If the left goes for you, then oh well.

Maybe you should have thought twice before daring to say something they dont like, right?

Sticking your head in the sand won’t make it go away.

Sorry.
