Yep. It’s amazing. I wonder if there are more Trump supporters here or just that they are more vociferous.

showme_the_Glory : " They’re bitter clingers "

the Upstaters are 'bitter clingers' ?.. because we want a government that recognizes the Constitution ?
You couldn't be more wrong if you tried !
If you go thirty miles out of NYC, you will find nothing but a Conservative majority .
It would be as absurd if I said all of Texas was like San Antonio,..the flaming lib a-holes !
..and I know that isn't true !
I have more respect for you and your opinion , than you do of me and my opinion in Upstate .
Upstate, we are still fighting for our 2nd Amendment rights, in opposition to the Lib Governor and flaming Court of Appeals-that he is now trying to stack against us.
Don't bash what you don't know !

If I believed he did, I believe I would.

Must be all the Canadian air

Well said: Go Ted Cruz as well. I believe he can make it close if not win NY State.

More Cruz propaganda. She’s real enough but she’s a promotional item that will be rarely seen in the larger picture.

The only place she could have a hair more impact would be in Cali, and that’s not saying much.

If Trump released the tens of thousands of letters from his supporters like her, the journals, newspapers, blogs and radio slots would be working on them past the Convention.

It was his loon father that said he “was chosen by God for the White House”.

“Christians are loving people, are nonjudgmental people, but there is right and wrong,”

And some assume their version of christianity gives them the high moral ground to pass judgment on what is right and wrong. For example “NY Values” being something to shun.

Read this. It might wake you up to the California situation.

If Cruz is elected, he will fall right in line with McConnell and Ryan and the rest of the GOPe. So if you’re a Cruz supporter, you might as well go ahead and buy a jar of Vaseline because you’re know where you’re gonna get it.

Too bad Cruz isn’t running for preacher in chief. he might have had a chance.

By the way, since when is blog pimping allowed here? The author is a Cruz supporter and this is her blog, not a news article.

Are we now going to find "letters to the editor" and posting them all for our candidates?

But there are hundreds of quotes all over the net.

Take your picks

Right on, Cruz is in the punch bowl making us all proud again to be Americans. Good to have a breath of fresh air, I’m with Souled Out on this one. Cruz all the way to the WH.

It was his loon father that said he “was chosen by God for the White House”.

Interesting you call his father a "loon." Is that the same label you give your fellow trump acolytes who make the claim about your candidate? Reconcile that one.

I have a Governor who says that my "Conservative values have no place in New York State"
That is because he is a Flaming Liberal/ Progressive/ who gets re-elected due to the fact that NYC is heavily populated by Democrats who out number us Upstaters.
He plays to the crowd - he even had the "State-of-the-State address in the NYC rather than in Albany ,the State Capital, where is has always traditionally been.
Gov. Cuomo eeked out a victory this last election, because Gov. Christy wouldn't release any funds to NYS Conservatives because "we don't fund losing causes".
Cuomo just got 55% of the vote ; with proper funding, New York would have had a Republican Governor, and we could have turned this state around !
But it was just that kind of attitude that prevented Cuomo's defeat.
Do you know why Cuomo ran an "Emergency Meeting" and the SAFE ACT got passed without even being read, within 20 minutes of Quorum being recognized ?
Because Cuomo was trying to show that he is more Lib/ Progressive than Obama, and he is looking for possible Vice Presidential candidacy in this years election !
You want to see Liberalism SHTF ? .. watch Cuomo , because he is posturing for VP !

“Interesting you call his father a “loon.”

You find that interesting do you. Do other undeniable realities also “interest” you.
