To see Trump in Florida.
Sorry that your heart has turned so dark that there can no longer be respectful disagreement.
Yet the canuck says the campaign is responsible for the "tone".
Lying, scummy Cruz.
Spoken like a true liberal.Sure you're in the right place?
Nah, the biebs stands a better chance of becoming President of the USA before Cruz the cuck canuck ever will.
You’re doing awesome work today, rineaux!
Keep it classy, San Diego!
Hispanics hate him because he attacked Mexico as a land of criminals and rapists;
immigrants hate him because he has denounced immigrants;
Muslims hate him because he wants to deny American citizenship to Muslims."
The truth hurts doesn't it!
I was thinking the same exact thing...
Good luck getting through with the truth.
The line that keeps getting omitted is this: “Now, the responsibility for that lies with protesters who took violence into their own hands.” That’s what Cruz said, and there is nothing in any media anywhere showing that he expressed any sort of solidarity with the Bernie Brownshirts.
But a lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on.
Wow, you think Trump is harmful. You should try to rush his stage and see if you can get past his secret service detail and try to stop him.
Put the blame where it belongs; Bernie’s commies.
As you undoubtedly are aware, much of the criticism leveled at Ted Cruz's comments has come from his own supporters.
I believe Ted Cruz lost, what, about 300,000 (three hundred thousand) friends on Facebook literally overnight on the day he made his comments? That's incredible!
Similarly, on numerous online communities, radio talk shows, etc., scads of (former) Cruz supporters blasted his comments. Cruz supporters, not Trump's.
Was it Donald Trump supporters that bullied these Cruz supporters to reconsider their candidate?
No. It was Cruz supporters who have at least a modicum of intellectual honesty.
Ted Cruz is a lawyer who knows how to use words precisely. He knew exactly what he was doing and what he was implying.
Instead of being a statesman and showing solidarity for law & order and against lawbreakers who sought to infringe on the Peoples' Right to Peaceably Assemble, Ted Cruz once again exposed himself as a naked and unprincipled political opportunist. The remainder of the second tier candidates showed a similar lack of leadership.
Ted Cruz's political cheap shot was weak, disingenuous, misguided, and a yuuuuuge mistake, as anyone with a shred of objectivity can perceive.
And that's why it cost him significantly from among his own (former) supporters.
On Tuesday, we'll see exactly how much support he squandered, but I predict that the effect will not be trivial.
Oh PLEASE.
So Cruz offered a little weasely ‘yeah but’ act before he spent three times as long telling the world that Trump deserved it.
All the BS in the world doesn’t change that fact.
He’s a disgusting pig.
I will do well. Just not here. FReegards.
Exactly: a weak, tepid, lukewarm, half-hearted rebuke.
Alternately, a statesman showing leadership would instead have been fierce, forceful, emphatic and unequivocal.
It's important to reiterate that Ted Cruz's own supporters responded with outrage over the Senator's words: they weren't bullied into it by Donald Trump's supporters.
Indeed, the entire second tier of GOP candidates showed a profound lack of statesmanship.
Each of them, if they were leaders, should have expressed staunch solidarity with the frontrunner, and outrage at the orchestrated mass criminality should have been the primary emphasis of their statements.
Instead, opting for cheap political opportunism, the thuggery was rebuked weakly, only in a passing way. And thus, it backfired severely.
In a word, the three stooges' responses, collectively, were pathetic...
Cruz said no such thing. Here are his EXACT words:
“Earlier today over thirty people were arrested in one rally, and then tonight as violence broke out the rally was canceled altogether. Now the responsibility for that lies with protestors who took violence into their own hands.”
I don’t know how much clearer it gets than that.
If that’s blaming Trump, then we’re living in Bizarro World.
What Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich did over the weekend reminds me of that last battle scene in the movie Braveheart when the Scottish “allies” abandon William Wallace at the most crucial moment......As a now former Cruz supporter- I will be voting for Trump!
Anybody who is intellectually honest, and who takes the time to review the incident in question, can see that Ted Cruz was engaging in propaganda in his twisting of the actual facts of the incident...
Oh yeah. TWO sentences.
And then three times as much time telling everyone in the world that Trump deserved it.
Stop being such a bullshit artist; you’re terrible at it.
