Supporters of Sens.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)
97%
and
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)
79%
took to social media to slam the freshman senators for blaming leftists shutting down a Trump Chicago rally on GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.

“I think a campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment, when the candidate urges supporters to engage in physical violence — to punch people in the face. The predictable consequence of that is that it escalates and today is unlikely to be the last such instance. We earlier today in St. Louis over thirty arrested. That’s not how our politics should occur,” Cruz said Friday. “You know, the City of Chicago in 1968 saw some ugly days when politics descended into hatred and incivility and even violence and it is my hope that in 2016 that we can appeal to our better angels and avoid going down that road once again.”

Cruz supporters, incensed by the Texas senator’s blame game, stormed social media to express their anger. Top comments on a Friday Facebook post promoting a Cruz “victory fund” drew furious responses (comments quoted here are unedited):

    Jerry Shalow: Cruz you lost my vote for using this protest for your political game. Rubio also. Trump has my vote. How about the violations of the 1st amendment TED!!!!!!! Condone the violence what you just did.

    Pappy Beagles: I’m a Texan, I voted for you for the senate, and was supporting you for president, up until you blamed Trump for the savage behavior of Hillary and Bernie supporters in Chicago. I just sent a $100.00 contribution to a billionaire, and i’m retired on a fixed income, so guess this is goodbye to you, and I am now firmly on the Trump wagon.

    Gayle Natale: Mr. Cruz, I just listened to your response regarding the protestors who caused Mr. Trump to cancel his rally in Chicago. You did not mention the violation of the first amendment once during your speech. I am extremely dissapointed in you. You pride yourself daily on upholding the constitution in your speeches. All you did was put the blame on Donald Trump even though Mr. Trump never made an appearance. It is obvious to everyone that this was a carefully planned protest. And I would not be surprised if you were behind it, as part of your plan to sabotage Donald Trump. You are one of the dirtiest polititians I have ever known!

    Jace Conners: Ted Cruz… i was an undecided voter who was leaning your way then you blamed trump for the actions of violent protesters. I am now voting Trump thanks for helping me make my choice tonight.

Roh ruh.....can we say ToasTED?

And I'm quite certain we have proof that all their supporters feel this way, and this wasn't really an agit-prop operation by Trumpbots.  'Cause you can always believe 100% of what you read on the Internet. 

[Frank Cannon]

Oh No! Trumpbart hand picked some facebook posts and is claiming the election is lost for Cruz.

 Damn that Obama for signing that EO making facebook posts count legally as a vote.

[libertybele]

Newsflash:  Slammers slam.

The people "slamming Cruz" were slamming him before this.  That's how they operate.  They only prove the point.  Trump and too many of his supporters operation through bullying, abuse, insults, and some...yes, even violence.  So they draw people of the same sort to their rallies.

Cruz lost many voters last night. His facebook page is full of them telling they will no longer support him. Even at FR the numbers are huge that are agaisnt him now.

I am deeply disturbed by Cruz's statement, just as I am deeply disturbed by the attitude of some on here.

You deal with what you consider offensive rhetoric by offering positive rhetoric, and persuading voters to eschew any candidate who uses such language. You do not deal with it by rioting and denying freedom of speech.

How hard is that for some of you to understand? If you do not condemn the conduct of the demonstrators in Chicago because you disapprove of Trump, what will you do should these same thugs shout down your guy? You know, the old "First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Socialist.", etc.

Don't think for one moment those Chicago demonstrators have any attachment to free political discussion. They mean to rule and you would be wise to condemn their behavior before it swallows you, too.

No We can't and we won't.  Anecdotal comments by a few people (who likely didn't support Cruz in the first place) mean nothing.

It is likely more people are repulsed by Trump's tactics sanctioning violence at his rallies.

Wow. FB and FR.  Indicative precisely of NOTHING.

I don't know if the graph is accurate, but I do know I don't trust NBC in the least.

NBC...General Electric (CEO, Jeffrey Immelt...Obama's BFF) and Comcast are one and the same.

Therefore ANYTHING spewing forth from NBC is complete vomit.

Accept the polls you like, dismiss as biased the ones you don't.

More Cruz Cheats Revealed - Cruz Hacker Inserts 44,000 Cruz Votes in Drudge Online Poll

Published on Mar 11, 2016

A Trump Twitterer named Campaign Trump got this letter this morning:
[insert]
“Hi campaign Trump. I have been a Ted Cruz supporter since day one here in Texas. After last night’s debate I have decided to move to the Trump side. Three things shocked me in the last four weeks and I’ll explain this to you. I think the Texas votes were rigged to make Ted Cruz the winner– There are no more Cruz supporters and Trump supporters in Houston. We all were surprised he won.” ”Second, Cruz keeps exaggerating lies about Trump and we are fed up with it now. I’m a Christian and attend Lakewood Church. I cannot support Ted Cruz anymore.”
[insert]
“Third, the Cruz lies on the debate stage and the Drudge poll deceit last night said to me I’m supporting the wrong candidate. So please welcome me on board the Trump train?”
The second big cheat is after last night’s debate, some Cruzer hacker got on the Drudge poll and hacked in and inserted overl 44,000 Cruz votes.
[insert]
As of 11 am, here are the current Drudge results. We assume that the illegal Cruz votes have been removed.
[insert]
Out of nearly 400,000 votes cast, Trump 64%, Cruz 25, Rubio 6, and Kasich 5
Is there any cheat that Cruz -- the fake anointed one – won’t do.
I’m still reporting from Washington. Good day.

[sinkspur]

LOL!! Drudge polls are fake to begin with, so why WOULDN'T somebody put fake votes in a fake poll?

[GAJohnnie]

 Votes will be counted Tue that will demonstrate if the Hate Trump Always propagandists here are correct or not.


I strongly suggest the Hate Trump Always squad be among love one who will be able to call for medical-professional help if needed Tuesday night. It shaping up to be a very very very bad night for them.

If the TOS is outraged, be did the right thing.  It is the Westboro Baptist Church of the internet.

[A-Lert]

Accept the polls you like, dismiss as biased the ones you don't.

Polls are only as accurate as the pollsters are honest. Even you should be aware of that. The media is part of the problem in this country.

Donald Trump's divisive hate tour exploded in violence Friday with a bloody stop in St. Louis and chaos in Chicago — while the tone-deaf hate-monger denied his role in the madness.


Evidence the media is inciting violence and divisiveness.
