Ted Cruz had some very harsh words for Donald Trump this week, making what might have been the most strident criticism of the GOP frontrunner from any of his competitors.
Speaking on the Fox News Channel this past Wednesday, the Texas senator told host Megyn Kelly that he wasn’t surprised that Trump was, as he put it, “trying to stir up riots” if he lost the Republican nomination. The remark was in reference to a prediction by Trump that his supporters would be very upset if the GOP establishment ended up using underhanded methods to force an unpopular candidate like Jeb Bush on them.
Cruz’s criticism came relatively shortly after he attacked Trump earlier that day, claiming that the real estate tycoon is skipping a debate organized by Fox because he finds Kelly, who will be moderating, to be a “very, very terrifying person” and hates to be challenged.

In addition to impugning Donald Trump’s courage, Cruz took a swing at his views on foreign policy and the Middle East in particular. Taking issue with a recent statement by Trump that he would remain “neutral” in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, Cruz was positively incredulous that anyone could take such a position:
“‘Cruz added that Trump’s reason for cancelling, that he had a speech at AIPAC at the same time is ‘silliness, and it reflects his assumption that he thinks the voters can’t figure out that he’s not telling them the truth. Listen, AIPAC would have allowed him to spoke at any time, it’s a multi-day conference. He chose to speak right in the middle of the debate because he’s scared to debate. And he just — he looks down on the voters. He thinks they’re gullible and will believe whatever he’s saying. So I’m going to be in DC for AIPAC as well, and since Donald is running away from the debate, I’m happy to debate him there. If he wants, we can debate foreign policy, but the problem is, Donald doesn’t do well on foreign policy because he doesn’t have even a basic modicum of knowledge. Two debates ago, Donald explained that if he were president, he’d be neutral between Israel and the Palestinians. That is a stunning statement. It’s the nonsense you hear from Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. I’ll tell you, Megyn, if I’m president, I will not be neutral. America will stand unapologetically with Israel. And it says something about Donald Trump, if he can’t tell the difference between our friends and allies, if he can’t tell the difference between Israel and Islamic terrorists who want to murder us, that raises real questions about his fitness and his judgment to be commander-in-chief. And so, I’m happy to debate him in Utah, where the debate was supposed to happen, or DC, or anywhere else. But I suspect Donald will continue to running and hiding and basking in the protection from the network media, that is trying to do everything they can to make him the nominee, because they know he’s the one candidate on the face of the planet that Hillary Clinton can beat in the general election.'”

Isn’t it time for this amnesty pimp to drop out of the Race.
For the last time- TRUMP IS NOT STIRRING UP THE RIOTS!!! The protestor are coming to peaceful rallies and making trouble. Trumps supporters believe in freedom of speech and the right to assemble, that why you don’t see Trump supporters at other candidates rallies. Don’t be stupid people. Use your little brains!!!

Turns out Cruz sure must be a whore…because he’s really being pimped by the liberal elitist.
Trump is not the one who us causing riots. You idiots.
Cruz has tried everything else so why not false statements that TRump is trying to stir up riots while the Soros funded activists are “stirring up the riots” and preventing Americans from their freedom of speech and freedom to attend a rally of their choice.
They are all running scared because they know that Trump will make changes that they do not want. This should make people realize that Trump can and will do whatever it takes to get rid of a corrupt administration. This country needs Trump for president..
Look at the GOP n George soros for the cause of riots
Cruz go suck a egg with your friend Graham. Donald Trump is not stirring up these riots. I think we all know where they are coming from. Trump was only repeating what was said on social media.. It is all over that Republicans will riot if he is not nominated at a broker convention. The news media and people like Kelly and you keep stirring the pot so there will be protesters. Quit giving these thugs notoriety. You are playing into their hands. You Cruz are in with the establishment as is Kasich. Soros funds Kasich and he is the one the establishment is considering . They are using you for a pawn.
He is a democrat in disguise.
