These are young people and students, often from nations where free speech does not exist. They bring their values and try to obliterate ours. They are trying to destroy not a Trump rally, but the entire constitutional apparatus and culture of the United States. A group of supporters of Palestinian terrorists tried to do the same thing at Harvard Law School a few years ago. It is shameful that not only Cruz, Kasich and Rubio blame Trump but also the two socialist Democratic candidates. Seldom is heard the word "Constitution" among these presidential wannabes. Is that what being presidential looks like? Ignoring the constitution as the current lawless White House did for seven years?
These are the tactics I first saw at Columbia University in 1968. The leftist Communists intentionally provoked administrators using violence and lawlessness. They kept it up until the University needed to call the NYPD to remove students who had taken control of several university buildings, preventing classes from being held. John Lindsay was mayor of New York City. With his police Commissioner, Howard Leary, they recognized the dangers of sending police with guns to remove students, who were determined to provoke angry police. The commissioner ordered the officers to conduct the removal without their guns. They were allowed night sticks which were used. But no one was shot or killed while clearing the campus. Nonetheless minor injuries were played up by journalists and the leftists to show how "brutal" the administration was. This is what these reportedly Soros-funded, Move-On and Google Corp.-funded radicals are doing now. They want brutality to gain sympathy from ordinary citizens who still believe in the system of government under a constitution. That is their objective. It will continue until election day and beyond if Trump wins the nomination. Look for frequent Democratic vote fraud in the general election if Trump is the Republican nominee.

This makes Ted Cruz ‘s spineless rejoinder to the violent demonstrations in Chicago so galling to me.
Some years ago I wrote here of my contempt for conservatives who flee the forum for fear of getting their spotlessly white togas spattered with mud and blood when their colleagues are being savaged by liars and thugs. This week my White Toga award goes to Ted Cruz. As thousands of rent a mobs from Soros funded Move On, the White House approved Black Lives Matters fabulist race baiters, and Bernie Sanders fans mobbed and threatened the thousands of people who’d waited in lines for hours to attend a rally in Chicago for Donald Trump.
Even Obama pal and admitted terrorist Bill Ayers, doubtless reliving his “glory days” as a Weatherman was there cheering the mayhem on:
We shut Trump down! Beautiful gathering of anti racist youth. pic.twitter.com/uYOFXMvKhX

The People’s Cube, which has perfected its satire of left speak described the event from the thugs’ point of view:
CHICAGO, IL - Tonight one thousand peaceful communists, socialists, anarchists, Black Lives Matter activists, devout Muslims, immigration advocates with Mexican flags, and local students of Marxism, disrupted a meeting of some twenty five thousand angry and violent Trump supporters.
The Trump crowd had it coming because they had conspired to shut down everyone else's right to free speech by buying tickets to the event, which was closed to those who didn't have tickets. That was a grotesque violation of the protesters' right to get inside, jump on the podium, rip Trump signs, and scream "F** Trump" into a TV camera.
As the news of the event's cancellation was announced, the protesters peacefully celebrated their victory by throwing punches at Trump supporters and police officers, shouting over their objections, flipping the middle finger and kicking their cars, and walking into the road to block traffic composed of gas-guzzling, global-warming-causing vehicles.
Did Ted Cruz criticize this effort to deny thousands of people their right to free speech and assembly or the violent nature of the demonstration? No, he feebly offered up this on Fox News’s The Kelly File: "A campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment when the candidate urges supporters to engage in physical violence."
[. . .]
The organizers' own words belie that claim that Trump bears responsibility for this mayhem: They were well organized and were there to shut down Trump whose political views they oppose.

Remember the #TrumpRally wasn't just luck. It took organizers from dozens of organizations and thousands of people to pull off. Great work.
Newsbusters picked up from an AP story the role of a Black Lives Matters
When's the last time if even, that a group of right-wing protesters in the U.S. specifically set out to completely shut down a left-wing speaker's address? There's no doubt that the attempt to protest Trump was organized, and that its primary intent was to prevent him from speaking:
[snip]
"Trump represents everything America is not and everything Chicago is not," said Kamran Siddiqui, 20, a student at the school who was among those celebrating. "We came in here and we wanted to shut this down. Because this is a great city and we don't want to let that person in here."
[snip]
"Our country is not going to make it being divided by the views of Donald Trump," said Jermaine Hodge, a 37-year-old lifelong Chicago resident who owns a trucking company. "Our country is divided enough. Donald Trump, he's preaching hate. He's preaching division."
[snip]
Chicago community activist Quo Vadis said hundreds of protesters had positioned themselves in groups around the arena, and they intended to demonstrate right after Trump took the stage.
Their goal, he said, was "for Donald to take the stage and to completely interrupt him. The plan is to shut Donald Trump all the way down."
[. . .]
The president, who has stirred up so much racial division by, among other things, supporting the Black Lives Matter supporters and megaphoning their lies about Trayvon Martin and Ferguson, Missouri, was equally mendacious.
"What’s happening in this primary is just a distillation of what’s been happening in their party for more than a decade," Obama said, according to a report filed by the Texas Tribune.
Given the forces of the left arrayed against his party, Cruz’ take was more than spineless, it was self-defeating. If they succeed in shutting down Trump’s rallies, he’ll be next in their crosshairs. It’s the way they work. In any event, this show of rent-a-mob force may well encourage more voters, sick of this behavior, into the Trump camp.
