Ted Cruz Made Donald Trump Hide Behind Political Correctness (Video: Trump on Russert's)
The Resurgent ^ | January 15, 2016 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 01/15/2016 5:08:37 PM PST by Isara

Below is the interview of Donald Trump with Tim Russert that Ted Cruz referenced in the Thursday night debate. In it, Donald Trump says he is very pro-choice and supports even partial birth abortions because he is from New York and has New York values.

Donald Trump: "I'm Very Pro Choice," Partial Birth Abortion is OK (Video)

To deflect Cruz’s point last night, Donald Trump had to resort to political correctness. He had to insist that the American values on display on 9/11 were somehow uniquely New York values. Second, he had to make the case that those New Yorkers were victims and you cannot say such bad things about those victims, Ted Cruz.

That is political correctness. Trump tried to shutdown and shame someone by playing the victim.

The fact is that what was on display on 9/11 were American values. And most everyone outside of New York knows those were not the values Ted Cruz was talking about.

What Ted Cruz was talking about was exactly what Donald Trump was talking about to Tim Russert — New Yorkers are liberals and Trump, on Meet the Press, admitted it.

Doesn’t matter for the GOP primary. It will matter for the general, and Trump scored big time with blue collar Dims in NYC.

No you don’t. You have to be born of a “citizen” of the USA .. that’s it.

Otherwise, all those military people who give birth to children all over the world, would not have a child who was an American citizen.

We have been talking about those mythical democrats that will vote republican every election season.

As bad as Barry was and with the really lousy economy, he still won in 2012.

All the moderates, independents and the mythical democrats were supposed to give Romney a landslide. We were repeatedly assured on FreeRepublic that democrats would vote in significant numbers for Romney.

Only a fool will believe that there are a lot of democrats who will vote republican next year.
