Your prerogative. You can lead a horse to water, but can't make him drink. A vote for Cruz/Rubio/Kasich is a vote for the same ole, same ole uniparty BS. If you side with Move On/BLM then by all means vote for Cruz.

Their commentary was on the “management” of the emotional content, and it was poorly thought out and expressed, even if it had a basis in fact, the content of trump rallies. There is no way that soros, move0n, ACORN, black lives loonies are people that Cruz would support (maybe Kasich the unionist mailman’s banker son and Rubio, the apparatchik for Big Sugar/the Fanjul family-— but not Cruz, even with the Goldman influence peddlers manipulatiing the situation).

Ted Cruz sold out conservatism for what he thought would be political gain.

It's actually a bit worse than that. Cruz sold out free speech for what he thought would be political gain.

I liked Cruz. Would of been happy to campaigning/vote for him if he won the nomination but this response really is heartbreaking.

“I do not support Cruz or any of the candidates for that matter but I think what Cruz was saying that if you play the game Trump is playing (shouting, name calling, “I’d like to punch him in the face too.”) this is what you get. There is some truth to that.”

...in that case, you need to read this to help organize your thoughts.

Count me among the disgusted. I was at a point where I was hoping Trump would get the nomination, could easily and happily support Cruz, and would be okay with Kasich. I had a lot of admiration for Cruz. I’m stunned and disgusted that he’d support the rabble rousers - presumably just in an attempt to hurt Trump (although if he actually believes what he’s saying, that’s even worse).

“There is some truth to the argument that a woman wearing a miniskirt is inviting rape.”

That is what the Muslims say in Europe. But funny how it wasn’t a problem until the Muslims arrived.

The tepid intro is merely cover for what is know as a “Yes but”, defense.

Cruz is saying

Yes what was done was wrong BUT it is justified because the victim...

Anyone NOT welded at the hip to a candidate knows that is exactly what this is and will hold Cruz accountable.

Cruz had a perfect opportunity here and blew it. Imagine what would of happened if he come out and soundly condemned the media and the rioters and stood with Trump?

Instead he is getting absolutely hammered around the web today.

I think what your saying is; somewhere in that room full of horse-sh*t, there’s a pony.

what cruz said was the truth.

he condemned the protesters and trumps environment of violence

most people arguing that he is anti free speech are just seeing what they want to see and not what actually occurred.

trump supporters are swayed too easily by their anger

They should not be called *demonstrators* but DISTRUPTORS.

Marauding Muslims invading Europe say "a woman wearing a miniskirt is inviting rape.” Yet European women walked around in such clothing for years.....it was never a problem until the Muslims arrived.

Nice wrap.

So I am supposed to assume that this is what Cruz would have said if he was smart enough. I just need to organize my thoughts. Well OK LOL.

Trump supporters have no discernment. Do you not see the real war is with liberals and the establishment who are planting the fighters, disrupters, and rioters to take out trump or cruz. Cruz is not the enemy.

In other words if you are a strong leader they will attack you. He draws the flak because he is right over the target.

It is what Cruz SHOULD HAVE SAID, if he didn’t want to hand the nomination to Trump.

Huh? Are you on drugs? If that is the case, then why didn't Cruz say that? Why didn't he say "that could have been me they shut down and I will not support that?" TED CRUZ lacks discernment. Evidently, you do as well. Wake up!

This is just more of the chaos that surrounds “the Donald”.

More of the chaos that surrounds “the Donald”. Do you have a spine? Our Country is being taken over by immigrants both legal and illegal and ferals who are only worried the gravy train is going to stop. And according to you, it’s just “Donald Chaos”. At some point, our Country will have to have this conversation. You cannot have open borders when over 90% that come here receive foodstamps, in addition to the other freebies like SSI, Housing, Medical etc. All the while, burdening our schools, police departments etc. So when do you want to address this problem....when their are pounding on your door?....when they rape or kill your wife, daughter, granddaughter? You are just like the people of Germany - IGNORANT!
