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.

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.

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

I love anyone who pisses the douchebags off the way he does.

It just too damn funny, trump couldn't have paid them enough to advance his victory.

The landslide is going to be ridiculous.

You think the Trump "campaign bears responsibility" for your poor misunderstood protesters rioting in the streets?

No. Nobody bears responsibility for it but the people doing it. Even most stupid people have a certain amount of free will unless they are drunk or high.

BUT.....,every act has an opposite and equal action,and Trump the Terrible is always running his punk ass about punching people out,and telling his supporters in public they need to do just that.

He has even told them he will pay their attorney fees if they are arrested. Anybody that goes that far has to share SOME of the blame.

And they protesters are NOT "MY" anything.

The landslide is going to be ridiculous.

Towards a continuous police state.

in the atmosphere of violence Trump is stoking

Trump ain't the problem here.

Dollars to donuts, if the front runner today were Cruz or Rubio then BLM, Ayres, and other assorted street thugs would be at their rallies stirring up the shit.

Who's been disrupting whom, after all? Remember who started this crap. It wasn't Tea Partiers, that's fer sure. It's been little bolshevik puppets on assigment by their Alinskyite agit-prop masters.

Towards a continuous police state.

I know I polishing my "jack" boots as we speak.

Starting plans to run up all you liberals and put you to work. I won't need cheap mexican labor anymore when I chain ganging you wieners.

You think the Trump "campaign bears responsibility" for your poor misunderstood protesters rioting in the streets?

Get someone to explain the process of protesting to you.

Protesters are exercising THEIR right to free speech as long as they aren't physically forcing or intimidating anyone they disagree with from expressing their POV.

A dozen idiots protesting against a speaker at a political rally where hundreds or thousands of people have shown up to show their support are not a threat to the free speech of the speaker or the supporters.

The right to protest is WHY we have the 1st Amendment. Wihtout it,we are a police state.

Call it what you wish, it is very real with very deep, serious hard feelings lying just under the surface.

And it ain't so far below the surface that it isn't bubbling to the top now. There is more to this than just Trump. He didn't start it,he just came along and signed on to take advantage of it for his own political purposes. It's a tool he is using to "sell" Trump,Inc.

When and if that bubble bursts and fighting back becomes a popular thing,it's going to ugly on a biblical level.

It just too damn funny, trump couldn't have paid them enough to advance his victory.

Ironic and it would be hilarious if it weren't so dangerous.

People on both sides of the political divide in this country need to realize they are being played for fools to become tools of the globalists that NEED to create anarchy and riots in the streets so they have legal standing to suspend the Constution "for the duration of the emergency",and once that happens it's over.

The truth is that those of us on the right AND on the left both want our own version of living free,and the globalists that are setting us up to fight each other want to enslave both of us. The right will end up meeting the left in prison unless both start paying attention to what's going on beyond their noses.

The landslide is going to be ridiculous.

Towards a continuous police state.

Regardless of if it's Bubbette or Trump in the WH,the end result will be the same,the end of America.

Regardless of if it's Bubbette or Trump

You said Trump isn't really running. Have you finally given up on that delusion?

I know I polishing my "jack" boots as we speak.

I think it is hilarious that you have people like Pericles on your side,and you are so clueless you think he is one of you.

Starting plans to run up all you liberals and put you to work.

You can't run me off my island, pal.

However - delivering a knuckle sandwich is not always the best tactic when dealing with such pests.

Dollars to donuts, if the front runner today were Cruz or Rubio then BLM, Ayres, and other assorted street thugs would be at their rallies stirring up the shit.

Yup. The real difference is Trump has been hired to do this.

Mexico will totally pay for the wall since they want to contain the liberals as they leave when trump is elected.

Mexicans don't want your lazy asses there either.

You said Trump isn't really running. Have you finally given up on that delusion?

No. I have seen no evidence yet that he is serious about anything but rabble-rousing and killing any chance for a conservative victory.

I think it is hilarious that you have people like Pericles on your side,and you are so clueless you think he is one of you.

What is even more hilarious. Is you have black lives matter, Mitch Mconnel, LInda Graham, Obama, Bob Dole, Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton,Vicente Fox, Rosie the Donut, Whoopie Goldberg, Al Sharpton, Rachel Maddow, Neil Bush, Jeb Bush, W, Bush, John Mccain on your side saying the same stuff that you say.

You need to take out the trash Oscar.

o. I have seen no evidence yet that he is serious about anything but rabble-rousing and killing any chance for a conservative victory.

NAFTA, GATT, TPA are conservative.

That's a good one.

What is sad is you are so big a fool you have no idea how much of a fool you really are.

Go ahead,keep sucking up to the life-long NYC denizen who supports and contributes to gun control,abortion on demand,Clinton campaigns,Guliani campaigns,Chuck Schulmer campaigns,etc,etc,etc,and tell yourself what a fine conservative you are.

No. I have seen no evidence yet

Then you are not a slow learner, you are a really slow learner. I will continue to ask periodically. So that I can ascertain exactly how slow you really are.

I wonder if you will still think this in July. Or August.

I bet you think after he accepts the nomination he will wait until Monday before election day to drop out.

That is how slow I think you are.

We shall see.

BUT

Predictable

heard Ted Cruz lost thousands of twitter followers last night

Last night he also came in last in the race that all the GOPe beltway workers vote . 'The screaming you hear from across the Potomac is the Washington Cartel in full terror ' .

I read that Cruz lost 277,000 supporters on twitter that night. That is a lot.

Actually,he couldn't buy a better endorsement than that. If he has any sense at all it will become a part of his campaign slogan.

It means nothing. It's twitter. We don't even know if the people voting were in North Dakota or South Africa.

yes that was my thinking too.

Don't be silly.

It surely means something. It means he has lost a lot of support.

Not a chance.

Lets see no taxes switched. My brother and sister in law dumped Cruz.

I know that's just a couple. But it isn't isolated.

227 thousand is not a small number to lose in 12 hours.

You must think there were no other losses and only twitter losses.

Lets see no taxes switched. My brother and sister in law dumped Cruz.

I have also dumped Cruz. I dumped him solely because he took Neil Bush on in his campaign. You don't get rid of evil by bringing it in your house,and America needs to be free of the Bush Crime Family.

Hey have a good night.

Do you like these trade deals? If you do then you can vote for that cunt Hillary Clinton, or that midget dick Rubio. Or go ahead and vote for Ted Cruz the liar. Yes I said it he is a liar. I didn't want to go there before. But the fact is Cruz said he wanted immigration reform to pass. Then he LIED and said he didn't. I have admired Cruz for a long time. So I kind of ignored this fact.

Then that asshole Ted Cruz blamed Trump for Chicago. So did you. I thought you supported the first amendment. You don't.

As for these Bernie supporters. They are voting for murdering babies and stealing money. Frankly they need to have their asses kicked. You would rather give them a shoulder rub and espouse left wing talking points. You remind me of someone who puked on themselves.

A first, I tried to give Cruz the benefit of the doubt. But could not understand claiming to not be an insider, coming from a US Senator.

Also, all Cruz people claiming that the establishment hate Cruz. Really? Where is the proof? I only hear & read the establishment going after Trump, but NEVER going after Cruz.

Also, his wife being from Goldman Sachs, and CFR, is a very big NO NO for me.

Also, Cruz is supposedly this big Constitutionalist, yet gave up his Canadian citizenship just a few years ago.

If he is pro USA, why is he in favor of the TPP? Why has he affiliated with Bush? Can we trust him on immigration issues?

I am afraid he throws up the Bible too much. I am a Christian, but am leery of those that push it like a salesman pushing added benefits on a used car.

Sorry, but like I said, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. But after more thought, I do not trust him. He strikes me as a Trojan Horse.

I suspect a large number feel the way I do.

As Solicitor General of Texas he took on the Bush adm in court frequently . He campaigned as an anti-establishment tea party candidate and he spent his time in the Senate taking on the Republican ,Democrat elites and the emperor .

His efforts as a consistent conservative in public life has spanned 16 years . That means he's been a consistent conservative for 15 more years than Trump . Trump is a newbie to both the conservative movement ,and to the idea of being anti-establishment . He funded to establishment for most of his adult life.

He worked in the Bush adm until 2003

Long after it was discovered that Bush was indeed a piece of shit.

He campaigned as an anti-establishment tea party candidate and he spent his time in the Senate taking on the Republican ,Democrat elites and the emperor .

He never fought the establishments biggest sacred cow. The treason of NAFTA, GATT. Then he signed up for PTT or whatever the hell it is called.

He said he wanted Rubios immigration bill to pass. He said that.

It is not conservative to support NAFTA. Ask the real conservative Pat Buchanan. Whose conservative credentials are unmatched.

Honestly I like a lot of what Cruz did. But his new world order connections have become to troubling to ever consider him again.

Well Pete, I think you made a wise decision.

It wasn't a decision because I didn't have any choice. I can not and will NOT vote for any administration where a Bush is involved.

As Solicitor General of Texas he took on the Bush adm in court frequently .

Yes,but now he has turned around and let one of the snakes into the house.

He is also an idiot for not firing Lewendowski for not apologizing to the Breitbart reporter for bruising her arm. No he doubles down on stupid by supporting Lewendowski, has no platform and to make matters worse he will lose to the criminal in chief.

Trump supporters will have a huge hang over when he loses to Hitlery.

Bottom line is Trump surrendered to a bunch of smelly community organizers by cancelling the event.

Come on redleg. If Trump saved the cops a lot of hassle. Me do thinks if something bad would have happened there you would have been saying he should have canceled. To say he surrendered isn't the truth. The police apparently support Trump.

John Cardillo: 90% of Chicago Police Officers Support Donald Trump after Friday UIC Rally

Did you know she made up other stuff like this in the past. Google it.

He let the Bill Ayers fascists silence free speech..

Then Rubio, Kasich and Cruz sided with the mob.

Cruz has ties to the council on foreign relations through his wife. I've never liked them. Just had to throw that in there.

She filed charges. Guess she will have her day in court.

She filed charges. Then a video came out and she resigned.

I think she wants her 15 minutes. She will quietly drop her charges and it will go away.

Questions About Last Night

The post right below this one is filling up rapidly with comments, so we're starting a new thread:

First up, who was in charge? As far as we can tell, there was pretty much zero in terms of a unified Command Post.

Second, who wrote this plan? We've seen and heard reports that UIC was woefully unprepared for this. They had their own people and Monterey Security inside. The Secret Service had a presence, but they're restricted to dignitary protection. The ISP had a squad there. And CPD. So where were the people geared up for a riot? For NATO we had an entire strike force geared up and ready to go. We had the Mounted Unit up and running. Tens of dozens of bikes. Did no one see this coming?

Third, who evacuated the Pavilion, putting a few thousand people out on the street as targets? A bad decision, probably by the UIC people attempting to "protect" the building. Same with not securing the parking structure, leading to many confrontations and property damage in the lots. Dumb move.

Fourth......ah fuck it. There are a million "after action" questions that need to be asked and answered. Who gave up the expressway? Who let them block ambulances? Why did they not assemble citywide Incident Teams as soon as they knew the rally was canceled? Tact Teams? We even heard Mass Arrest kits weren't available and only one transport wagon on scene in case arrests were made.

Who ever drew up this order failed miserably. Whatever the Intelligence Section was doing wasn't nearly enough. The On Scene Incident Commander failed to anticipate even the best case scenario and every other appointee showed how incompetent they really were by not ordering up more reinforcements and more units on stand-by. McJerseyShore promoted people who owed him, people who were frightened of losing their posts if they didn't produce his numbers. And without the blustering New York loudmouth, they were reduced to phoning their clout to ask what they should do...but their clout was busy phoning their clout...and their clout was busy sleeping.

And so the scene was lost. And the streets. And 290.

We certainly hope that LOTS of ISR reports were generated by all the useless gold stars who might have seen the tiniest sliver of what the streets have become. After all, the ACLU was right there in the mix, making sure "protesters" didn't have their rights violated.

So Much for "Free Speech"

Free Speech looks pretty bloody to the thin blue line:

The media is downplaying the "protests" as isolated. It seems they aren't broadcasting footage of the debris being thrown across Harrison by Sanders/Hillary supporters at Trump fans.

They also aren't mentioning the hordes running through the UIC parking structure breaking the windows of cars with Trump 2016 stickers.

We haven't seen any mention of the Eisenhower takeover, nor the Incident Team call-outs from assorted Districts.

It's almost like they're ashamed that the UIC tradition of supporting leftist terrorists (Ayers and his spawn) has come home to roost.

Last report was at least two cops needed numerous stitches to close up wounds. A speedy recovery to the injured.
