This isn't the normal republican candidate. You didn't see this type of reaction in 2012 when Romney was running around spouting his non-sense because he wasn't encouraging violence or throwing out fascist bullshit. You don't see this type of thing at the other republican candidate's rallies because, while they are crazy assholes, aren't dangerous in the same way trump is. Its one thing to be disruptive because you strongly disagree with someone but it is totally different to be disruptive because someone is trying to start a 21st Nazi Party in the United States. If Ted Cruz is talking about how he dislikes regulations or wants to get rid of the IRS, I don't really care. Its a really stupid idea but no one could potentially die right now because of that. But saying that you want to see protesters dragged out on stretchers and attacking people that are being escorted out by the police, and saying that we need to round up millions of people, that is completely different. That type of rhetoric needs to be strongly opposed at every turn.
