Many outraged Republican voters said over the weekend that they were switching their votes from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to Donald Trump because they were concerned that the Texas senator may support the rights of Black Lives Matter protesters after he admonished the billionaire GOP front-runner for encouraging violence at his rallies. After Trump chose to call off a rally in Chicago on Friday because of organized protests, Cruz said at a press conference that the “campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment where the candidate urges supporters to engage in violence.â€On Sunday, Cruz told ABC host George Stephanopoulos that it would be wrong for protesters to try to shut down a political rally, but he said that it was also Trump’s responsibility not to incite violence among his supporters. “In any campaign, the responsibility starts at the top,†the senator opined. “And it is not beneficial when you have a candidate like Donald Trump who is telling his protesters, ‘Punch that guy in the face.’ You know, I don’t think you should be encouraging people to violence.â€Many conservative voters, however, saw Cruz’s attack on Trump as de facto support for Black Lives Matter. (In fact, Cruz has constantly opposed Black Lives Matter or any left-leaning group. He accused accused Black Lives Matter last year of “literally… celebrating the murder of police officers.â€) “So Ted Cruz blamed Trump for the MoveOn.org, Black Lives Matter and all other hate organizing groups protesting in Chicago because Trump stands up for calling things what they are?†blogger Dianne Marshall wrote. “It is now obvious to all that Cruz stands more for the progressive left leaning extreme thinking who stand up in support for those who want to ignore the laws, create strife, spew hate, and destroy America from within.â€On Saturday, a Breitbart headline declared: “Voters Slam Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio for Blaming Chicago Rally Shutdown on Donald Trump.†Voters on Twitter linked Cruz to Black Lives Matter, George Soros and Bill Ayers — while pledging to switch their support to Donald Trump.

Hey Kid, have you heard of the crossover voters? Its Democrats crossing over to Republican.. most notably Trump, but a few to Cruz too... its just that you guys got no one to vote for, no one.... 22 to 40 % in one poll... don't know how true it is but I do know the independents are 60-40 for Trump... doesn't bode well for the Democrats...

All Im saying is that Clinton knew what would happen and signed it. I worked at a place that made wheels for GM making good money and 6 months after NAFTA was signed everybody was told we were shutting down and they were moving to Mexico... that put almost 600 people out of a job. Until the federal government changes there will not be any big jobs in this country except in the medical or computer fields. Thats how it is around here(my area) already.Originally posted by kidrock View PostIt was W's dad that started nafta and yes Clinton signed it into law.

I just want someone that's going to be able to get chit done and not be in more Gridlock because that's not working out for us is it.Originally posted by mudslinger47 View PostHey Kid, have you heard of the crossover voters?

NAFTA signed into law
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is signed into law by President Bill Clinton. Clinton said he hoped the agreement would encourage other nations to work toward a broader world-trade pact.

Now Litro, You know that Cruz is telling the people up front what he stands for and has a record to back it up, and you know that Trump has flipflopped time after time on many issues and also changed parties several times.Originally posted by old fan View PostHe is backed by soros soros is giving money to all the greedy no bastards from both parties to take down trump the only that has balls
But you go ahead and Trust him and make a crook out of all the rest of them. I think a new party needs to be created for people like you. Maybe the Redneck Party?

Then you would have to think that Bush1 would have known the same thing. He was the one that started the whole thing and then Clinton signed it and what a huge mistake by all them. It was already a done deal when Clinton arrived but, yes he could have stopped it and should have.Originally posted by dirtdobber45 View PostAll Im saying is that Clinton knew what would happen and signed it.
