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 did, as the first thing he said: "Now, the responsibility for that lies with protesters who took violence into their own hands." He was tone-deaf to leave it at that - but this Cruz-blames-Trump meme going around is ignorant at best and deliberate disinformation at worst.

[sargon]

Ted Cruz said what he said. It was the epitome of weak, and reeked of naked opportunism. The only proper response to having peaceable campaign rallies attacked by organized groups of extremist "progressives", it to repudiate it in the strongest of terms.

That omission and lack of emphasis speak volumes.

Let the chips fall where they may: Ted Cruz has damaged his brand greatly in this incident.

Trump, conversely, has brilliantly avoided a setup that was orchestrated to smear and damage his campaign using staged violence and disruption as the tool.

Instead, Donald Trump preempted the thugs and saboteurs, and demonstrated that he's a step ahead of them on the chess board.

Instead of leading and being statesmen in a moment when it was called for, the three second-tier GOP stooges were exposed as utterly routine and predictable politicians.

And I assure you there are a lot of "low info" voters who can see transparently what Cruz did, and won't forget it...
