Ted Cruz Loses Prominent Support After Siding With Violent Leftists Over Donald Trump
GP ^ | March 12, 2016 | Jim Hoft

Last night the Trump campaign called off their Chicago rally due to security threats.] Leftist protesters cheered, beat Trump supporters, block an ambulance to the local hospital and screamed profanities at families staying at the Trump Hotel.

Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich sided with the violent protesters.

Republican endorsements.

American game show host Chuck Woolery lashed out at Senator Ted Cruz after he sided with the violent leftists.

And Second Amendment speaker Jan Morgan withdrew her support from Ted Cruz.

“I almost feel sorry for Ted. For a long time he seemed like he could have been a real contender and at least come out with a Veep spot, nominated for SCOTUS, or appointed to a key position. Now I wonder if he’ll even get reelected as Senator.”

I’ve been saying EXACTLY the same. He seems to have completely fallen apart, and even his Senate career is in doubt, as he has DEMONSTRATED to the country why so many Senators seem to hate his guts.

Very sad. The only people here left supporting Cruz are the paid operatives from the other campaigns and the Superpacs. He has REALLY TURNED OFF people that had tremendous respect for him...which includes me. One of the fastest collapses that I’ve ever seen for someone elected to such a high office. He’s up for re-election in 2018...I sure as hell hope we don’t lose that seat.

I am in the same boat as you: Cruz has been my first choice since Day one. Trump became my second choice. Now, their places have switched. I will vote for Trump on Tuesday in my state’s primary. In November, I will vote for whomever is the nominee, unless it is Yeb! or Romney. Under no circumstances will I vote for Yeb! or Romney.

Cruz did not “side with the violent leftists.” He condemned them and said they are responsible for using violence.

Wyoming caucus voters reject NY liberal Trump.

You might want to read up on how the Wyoming Republican party selects delegates.

How Wyoming Republicans choose delegates

Ted Cruz picked up 12 delegates today. It was also done through Republican county conventions - not through a precinct caucus (which has already happened previously).

There's a reason that none of the candidates visited there.

The same thing will happen in Colorado on April 9th (assuming Ted Cruz is even in the race at that point). Nobody cares. The candidates don't care. The media doesn't care. The US citizens don't care. That's why a presidential primary in those states at an earlier date would make much more sense for the future.

If someone does the right things and still has a difficult time or comes in last then i may feel sorry for them. but when someone is a lying sack 24/7, shows no sense of compassion for a fellow competitor who has been threatened regardless of the “politics as usual dialog” but rather jumps in with more antagonistic words, slams the first amendment but still claims to be “the only real conservative” in the race....well...no...i don’t think i’d ever feel bad for this scum. he can rot. i can’t wait to see him lose state after state.

Yes, even if Trump were not in this race, Cruz would be in the same awkward position of supporting conservative principles while needing so much money that he’d eventually compromise those principles. Making anyone wonder who the real Ted Cruz is.

(((To come home and turn on the TV and hear Faux News and these candidates siding with leftist protesters was beyond the pale.

If you want to watch the 2 min. video, I am in second car, black SUV :( Very scary!)))

Glad you got home safe!

You say that to all the girls.

Really, you do.

I was switching channels around last night and saw on msnbc that Cruz was on air with the lesbian Rachel Maddow program and that in and of itself surprised me. Why would a conservative get anywhere near an aids filled lesbian. Cruz mumbled along but then he started his lying crap about Trump.

And in regards to lesbian Maddow's program itself, msnbc was continuously looping segments of protesters and one segment showed a protester on the stage and at the podium. Then the camera focused in closely on the podium where two security men where trying to restrain a shahultee, but he was resisting. The camera kept rolling until this guy was finally pulled off the stage. All the while, lesbian Maddows was disparaging Mr Trump.

Cruz and the rube will be out of the race Tuesday night and both will head off to catch frogs with jeb.
