Biff, we’re not talking about values here. I know that’s what you want it to be about, but it isn’t.
It’s about be respectful to a group of people you want to vote for you in November. That doesn’t mean you support their Leftist proclivities. You simply treat them with dignity.
As a politician, you CANNOT signal you don’t appreciate a certain group of people. Saying no Conservatives come out of a certain area, tends to imply “...so I don’t give a damn about those people...”
Look, it’s a mistake. You can’t paper this one over. It’s out there and Ted may pay for it. If not, okay. I’m not holding my breath hoping he will.
He’s not my guy. I’m simply addressing this on an academic level.
Take care.
Everybody is in a snit fit about values and that is what he said, almost a direct quote of donnie himself.
Besides, I got friends and relatives that live up there and they relish the fact they do have different values. Even those that do not live in the city claim they have different values.
You know as well as I do that it would be a cold day in hell for Cruz to win NY in the general. I would wager donnie will not either.
I just hate the idea that a guy that should be selling watches out of his rain coat is convincing good conservatives that he is one of them. He will be like bringing home a rattlesnake for a pet.
The problem with dissing NY is so much of the media is based there. Another problem is folks who could well decide other states are from New York. Another problem is that Trump is a proud New Yorker. I suspect he really was insulted and offended.
