Actually, it did not take much research to refute your position that Trump has done nothing to incite violence against protesters. I am a political news junkie, so I knew what I would find before I searched for the video clips. It just took some time to cull out the clips that were too long or included left wing commentary. The media is going very easy on Trump for now, but if he wins the nomination, they will be merciless in their attacks against him.

If Donald Trump is your idea of a statesman, then perhaps you should give up. Both Cruz and Fiorina have condemned the actions of the protesters. If you bothered to watch the video of Cruz handling Code Pink protesters and think that he is not a statesman compared to Trump, then I have little hope that you will ever change your mind.

Cruz appeared on ABC This Week this morning and repeated his condemnation of the protesters' tactics, but the video has not yet been posted on Youtube. However, if Trump cannot handle a few protesters at his rallies during the primary season, those groups will overwhelm him with protesters if he wins the nomination. As the videos that I posted show, Trump uses the same kind of tactics that left wing radicals use to draw attention to his campaign and to fire up his supporters. There is a reason that Trump rallies are associated with violent confrontations between his supporters and protesters and that reason is Donald Trump wants it that way. Peaceful protests and calm political speech does not draw much media coverage.

I will continue to trust my own eyes and ears over the empty, angry rhetoric of an emotionally unstable, spoiled billionaire brat. We all have to make our own decisions and I have made mine. Trump is a dangerous cult leader, who will never have my support. Trump is and will continue to destroy the Republican Party. If he expects Republicans to unite behind him, then Trump is also delusional. It is never going to happen.

You sidestepped it again, that's fine with me. All I can tell you is your eyes and ears are telling you things which mine do not.

As of this morning maybe Cruz did step up, I have not seen that yet. If he did condemn the actions of the protestors in question this morning, for everything I could dig up on it, he would have done so for the first time. There was no repeating of earlier statements unless he once again used it as a segway into another assault on Trump. The link I put up clearly shows him tearing into Trump and judging him by placing the blame and the resultant foment directly on Trump's shoulders. A case of political opportunism if I ever saw it. All this went down only yesterday and what I heard Cruz say was said last night. And you are in denial if you think those protests are not organized by Trump opponents.

Thus the protests you have characterized as spontaneous and involving a "few protestors" is a bit disingenuous and the protests in particular are about as innocuous as the attacks in Benghazi. I saw your clip of Cruz dealing with the Code Pink protestors the first time you put it up a couple of months ago, and though I could appreciate your enthusiasm, if you think that method would work on the type of people who've disrupted the Trump rallies I would disagree.
