Rubio is live now... saying that the protestors are an organized effort to disrupt.

Shame on Ted. First we're stupid now this.

No Ted never.

I'll vote for rubio or kasich

I heard they also blamed Trump. I haven't seen their quote or video yet.

rubio blamed the protestors

Rubio, who is camped out in his home state in advance of the March 15 primary, told Megyn Kelly of Fox News that Trump was finding out that his "words have real consequences." But roughly half of Rubio's analysis was a criticism of the political left. After stating his appreciation for Chicago's police, Rubio said that the protests needed to be put in contest.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/03/11/cruz-and- rubio-criticize-trump-for-creating-environment-for-chicago-protest/

"Tonight the seeds of division that Donald Trump has been sowing this whole campaign finally bore fruit, and it was ugly," said Kasich. "Some let their opposition to his views slip beyond protest into violence, but we can never let that happen. I urge people to resist that temptation and rise to a higher level. Now is the time for Americans to come together and stand firm for what we know is true: we are great because we are a peaceful people who live by the rule of law. We are stronger together, we will reject those who try to divide us for personal gain and we will do it the right way—at the ballot box."

"Tonight the seeds of division that Donald Trump has been sowing this whole campaign finally bore fruit, and it was ugly," said Kasich.

The altered skyline of lower Manhattan is the fruit born from the seeds sown Kasich and his ilk. And shuttered factories across the once great industrial powerhouse of Ohio are yet more fruit of seeds sown by Kasich back in 1993.

Yes, Trump is to blame. He is creating a violent mob mood by enabling it from his podium and in media appearances.

Don't blame Cruz (or Kasich or Rubio) for pointing out the obvious.

enabling it from his podium

You're fully out of your closet now, Comrade.

“A campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment when the candidate urges supporters to engage in physical violence.” --Ted Cruz

Ted Cruz is a low life sleazebag shyster. Anyone that believes a thing that flies out of his piehole is a gullible idiot. And anyone that believes that the speech the scumbag read was written an hour before also believes in Santa Claus. Would you allow that piece of filth to drive your daughter home from school?

Days After Secret Meeting Among Tech Billionaires & Political Ops, Trump Campaign Attacked On All Sides

Just four days after both Republican and Democrat party operatives met with some of the most powerful tech giants in the world to discuss ways in which to destroy the Donald Trump campaign, the New York billionaire is taking incoming from all sides including a second-tier reporter claiming she was grabbed by Trump’s campaign manager following a press conference, a participant at a Trump rally was filmed punching a (much larger and younger) black protester, and now today, a swarm of protesters in Chicago led to a Trump campaign rally being cancelled for security reasons.

Is it all just a remarkable coincidence?

The mob in Chicago was a mobilized event...

http://therundownlive.com/days-after-secret-meeting-among-tech-billionaires-political-ops-trump-campaign-attacked-on-all-sides/

A government that routinely drone bombs children attending wedding parties isn't going to hesitate to organize a few violent mobs, is it.

I wonder if Ted was just given a heads up at the meeting, or did he help with the riot planning?

TC: enabling it from his podium

You're fully out of your closet now, Comrade.

Trump: "Maybe he should have been roughed up..."

Obviously, you can't handle the truth. Trump himself endorses mob violence against lone protesters at his events. When a bunch of hardcore Lefties are ready to rumble with him in Chi, he turns pussy.

If the brown shirt fits, wear it.

Obviously, you can't handle the truth.

I was handling a liar. You.

The mob in Chicago was a mobilized event...

There is no such thing as a spontaneous mob in the big Blue states. They are all pre-planned by someone. Often it is the same old commie types like Bill Ayers who organized the protests against "Bush's wars" and the like, only to go silent when Obama embraced and greatly expanded those wars and started several more of his own, as in Libya.

You should go suck Cruz's dick.

TooCuckservative is gonna stand by his man.

You should go suck Cruz's dick.

You talk more about sodomy than any homo I've ever seen. Seriously.

any homo I've ever seen.

I'll bet you've seen plenty. Up close and personal.

The mob in Chicago was a mobilized event...

By Donald Trump and his SuperPACs.

Meanwhile the donald is hiding in his "safe space"....

..... with doughnut delivery on speed dial

By Donald Trump and his SuperPACs.

By Donald Trump and his SuperPACs.

Does he even have a real superPAC? I know he takes some donations but I haven't heard talk about his tycoon buddies starting a superPAC for him. Nor have I heard of anything similar to the two big Tea Party superPACs that spent big in the 2010-2014 elections.

Trump relies on free media (he's practically a co-host on Fox & Friends and on Vannity and appears by phone or remote interview on virtually every Fox News Channel show). He takes donations to his campaign, overwhelmingly small donors from what I've read.

So is there a Trump superPAC? If so, how much money does it have? The ones for Bush and Rubio and Cruz and others have poured tens of millions into their favored candidate (Bush's had $100M alone).

Mmm...I see there is the Great America super-PAC. Supposedly they have taken in "millions". No mention of "tens of millions". I see they're the ones who just hired Jesse Benton, Ron Paul's former manager and grandson-in-law.

Politico: "Yet Great America PAC has persisted in its efforts. The group first launched in January under the name TrumPAC with seed funding from Jewelry Exchange CEO Bill Doddridge. Amy Kremer, a tea party leader, also signed on. Earlier this month, the group announced it had tapped Eric Beach, a California-based Republican operative who also worked for Paul, to oversee its fundraising.

Trump has taken steps to distance himself from the group. After it launched, a Trump attorney got in touch with the representatives for the super PAC and told them it wasn’t allowed to use the candidate’s last name in its title. Shortly after, TrumPAC changed its name to Great America PAC."

..I see there is the Great America super-PAC

TrumPAC changed its name to Great America PAC

That's the one that I've heard of. A slush fund of ready cash for dirty tricks, false flag attacks, or even a quick switch to third party?

The RNC is pushing third parties this cycle. They've thrown their loyalty oath under the bus, in favor of a neo-establishment ticket Mitt/Marco. Maybe Jeb! too.

Mitt Romney walks to his campaign plane with U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) (2nd L), U.S. Representative Connie Mack (R-FL) (2nd R) and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush (R)

I always thought if there was ever going to be a civil war here in the USA, it would be multi sided, blacks, whites, latino's, rich, poor, republicans, democrats, commies, north, south, etc, etc. Now I have to add a CW within the Republicans.

And the recent cluster in Chicago. BLM ? Really? Wonder who paid them to go there & raise hell? Wonder who is orchestrating all this? Wonder who is financing all this? And why?

Glad I live in the middle of nowhere. No one comes out here and starts any shit. If they do, they regret it.

" The mob in Chicago was a mobilized event... "

Yes.

A slush fund of ready cash for dirty tricks, false flag attacks, or even a quick switch to third party?

To me, it looks like the unemployed Tea people and Rand Paul staffers who don't have anything better to do than start up a super-PAC for Trump who says he doesn't want any super-PACs.

I think they're unemployed and scamming, based on their contacts with the Tea and Paul people.

Ted Cruz backs Chicago rioters

Above is the header for this thread.

Below is a quote from Ted Cruz that states the exact opposite of the thread header.

“A campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment when the candidate urges supporters to engage in physical violence.” --Ted Cruz

How can anybody be so mentally weak they think the quote supports the headline?

Shame on Ted. First we're stupid now this.

How's that his fault? You have been clueless for years.

As of now I call Cruz a traitor who supports the end of the right to assembly and speech.

It is TRUMP calling on supporters to beat protesters,you freaking idiot!

I heard they also blamed Trump. I haven't seen their quote or video yet.

WHICH candidate is it that said at a rally that he would like to see protesters punched in the face,and would do it himself?

Not that the Tan Klan needed any encouragement.

Trump endorsed the violence personally. Then he defended the violence.

Yes, Trump is to blame.

You would think the cult members that adore and hang on his every spoken word would know that,wouldn't you?

OOOP! They DO know that! They are just lying to support their cult leader,much like the blacks lie to support Obama.

A slush fund of ready cash for dirty tricks, false flag attacks, or even a quick switch to third party?

Or even to just buy "Favors" for the people running it.

It sure doesn't seem to be legitimate to me.

Just another way to fleece the sheep.

I think they're unemployed and scamming, based on their contacts with the Tea and Paul people.

That's the way it looks to me,too.

In Michigan he said “Get him out. Try not to hurt him. If you do I’ll defend you in court.”..“Are Trump rallies the most fun?” he then asked the crowd. “We’re having a good time.”

Then there was one of his supporters sucker punching a protester at one of his rallies .

The guy who did the punch later said he would lynch next .The guy who got punched got arrested .

http://www.insideedition.com/videos/7638-trump-supporter-who-punched-protester- next-time-we-might-have-to-kill-him

Then his own campaign manager mugged a Breitbart reporter .

http://www.politico.com/blogs/on-media/2016/03/transcript-corey-lewandowski- breitbart-reporter-attack-220589

Trump denied it happened and claims Michelle Fields made the incident up.

I have no doubt that the mob was an organized mob. But it is undeniable that Trump runs his events like it's a Wrestlmania event .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NsrwH9I9vE

More than once Trump has suggested his supporters resort to violence .

Of course. The Trumpkins are in deep denial about it.

But it is undeniable that Trump runs his events like it's a Wrestlemania event .

Oh, c'mon, he hasn't done that since Wrestlemania 23, four whole years ago. I think he was still a Democrat back then.

Oh, c'mon, he hasn't done that since Wrestlemania 23, four whole years ago. I think he was still a Democrat back then.

"Wreselemanis"???

I hadn't even considered that,but now that I think about it,I see where Trump gets his supporters from. They are Pro-Wrasslin fans!

Suddenly everything becomes clearer.

Meanwhile the donald is hiding in his "safe space"....

Hiding, give me a break douche, we don't hide from anyone. He tries to avoid violence and here you come criticizing him.

Those clowns are attacking us not the other way around,

You forgot to take your Midol® again, didn't you?

Trump endorsed the violence personally. Then he defended the violence.

Trump endorsed DEFENSIVE force. He has not said once we need to go to the other side's rally and disrupt anyone free speech. Cruz is a traitor to constitutional principles for political gain.

@AnnCoulter It's not Trump supporters disrupting and rioting at others events! The violence is incoming... http://pic.twitter.com/bZVLvT2x3U— Brandon Brunson (@B_Brunson7) March 12, 2016

It is TRUMP calling on supporters to beat protesters,you freaking idiot!

Defensive. Stand your ground. Not starting a fight but ending a fight. You have no constitutional right to stop someone's free speech and assembly.

Year ago I sponsored an officer in the Nigerian Army while attending school at Ft. Benning. I took him to a local Rasslin' match one Saturday. I tried to explain to him that it was fake/rehearsed/etc. He didn't believe me!

Don't even think about telling a rasslin fan that it's fake,or you will be wearing them.

I'm guessing that much like Trump fans,they know deep-down it's all bogus,but they enjoy it so much they just don't want to admit it.

Meanwhile the donald is hiding in his "safe space"....

Hiding, give me a break douche, we don't hide from anyone.

"WE"???? Are you two a couple now?

He tries to avoid violence...

And with all the bodyguards he is always hiding behind,he does an excellent job of it,too!

Wrestlemania 23 is a nice reminder of some of the cultural impetus in the atmosphere of violence Trump is stoking with his vulgar rallies. Trump really needs more flags, more banners, and groups marching in formation to patriotic music at his rallies.

You know that I know that Trump is a con artist. But IMO you totally misunderstand the nature of his support. He has tapped into a raw nerve that political correctness has suppressed, demeaned, made fun of, ridiculed, marginalized for decades. Call it what you wish, it is very real with very deep, serious hard feelings lying just under the surface.
