Don’t know what God has to do with it, but being married to a professional firefighter I know that thier station names mean things. If you have to invoke God for fire station naming, you’re trying way too hard to defend this mistake.
You beat me to it...(I didn’t see your post before I put in mine...:o)
Sorry, he simply misspoke. Not a big deal.
The 711 fire station isn’t Scarsdale either.
They are claiming peremptorily that their station is never called 711.
Terminology used among them, I would believe it.
Terminology used among someone else, I would need independent confirmation. They sound way too cocksure. I would expect to hear something like “we have never heard ourselves called that.”
It’s 23 miles +/-. Close enough given the givens and the response of the Scarsdale FD to the 9/11 events.

Just goes to show you what sorry sacks of crap pass for reporters and journalists when they didn't check out what he had in mind with "down at 711" or ask the local folks instead of rushing out their BS about him making a gaffe when he did nothing of the sort.
His praising local firefighters turns into him saying something that never came out of his mouth, though, so the Cruzbots are happy because they grabbed a headline and got some trash for their little yellow minions to spew.
That's par for the Harvard Lawyer course.
Now it all makes sense - couldn’t see how somebody could be “down at 9-11” but you can be down at a location.
Who will get his delegates when he drops out? /s
Sorry, but your analysis is flawed. Up doesn’t always mean north and down doesn’t always mean south. I omce lived in a city where uptown was west of the center of the city and downtown was to the east. Plus a suburb where my girlfriend lived was located directly south, but was referred to with the name west.
Just add this to the other hair brained and breathless attempts to discredit Teflon Don. A perfect example of how technological advances have made people look like jackasses and jumped to incorrect conclusions or stuck their feet in mouths.
Siding with leftist Chicago scum over Republican voters.
Michelle Fields.. Need I say more.
Attacking Trump for Brussels bc of NATO comments.
Blaming NE article on Trump when It’s common knowledge Rubio was shopping it for months.
7/11 comments
*Please feel free to add anything I missed that might have turned other former supporters against Lying Ted Cruz.
lol you’re kidding right? please tell me you’re kidding
you all are serious, aren’t you?
good. let’s send her to visit the north.
No...That is a fact...I can’t think of his name, but I’ll get back to you with it...
My "analysis" isn't flawed, because it isn't "analysis." It's reporting. I'm telling you, I'm from the area. UP is NORTH. Period. It doesn't really matter what people in other cities say, because we're not talking about other cities. If you're in New York City, and you're talking about Scarsdale, or any of the Westchester bedroom communities, they're UP. Trump is from New York City. Scarsdale is up. This stupid internet story is BS.
If one lives in Scarsdale they may be used to saying "I'm going down to #711" because they are local in that town, also depends where their house is located in relation to the #711.
If Trump was in Scarsdale at the time, he'd say "down". If he was in NYC and was on his way to #711, he'd say "up".
This is a silly argument anyway. Wait for the video showing him at the #711 :-)
