Krauthammer: Cruz 'extremely defensive' on New York support
Fox News ^ | April 07, 2016 | Staff

Posted on 04/12/2016 5:41:45 AM PDT by Trump20162020

Charles Krauthammer told viewers on “Special Report with Bret Baier” that Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is “really extremely defensive” when it comes to his support in New York.

“He doesn’t even have a chance to talk about his issues in New York,” Krauthammer, a syndicated columnist and Fox News contributor, added. “He’s got to defend the ‘New York values’ stuff, which was an enormous mistake. It didn’t really help him in Iowa. He could’ve done it without that phrase. And now how does he defend it? He can’t. And I think because he is talking only about that, I think his numbers are going to stay very low here.”

Just saw a Poll on CNN. Trump at 48% now with Kasich up some. Kasich is in this to help the GOPe in the north east.

Strange times. The most conservative candidate is called “establishment “ by low-info Freepers, and the established Manhattan liberal is called the most conservative.

It’s hard to not be “establishment” when you unashamedly use the “establishment” resources, contacts and blindly accept their help from all quarters.

You mean a national poll?

The latest CNN poll of New York (done by Monmouth) has him at 52% there.

It’s an NBC/WSJ poll. You can google it.

I never thought of JimRob as low-info. Actually, I’ve never considered any FReepers low-info. I thought that term was reserved for the likes of the Obama voters who wanted their mortgages paid and their free cell phones.

I guess now we call people with whom we disagree, “low-info”, aka, stupid.

No

He has sold out. He is no longer the conservative He has been bought by the establishment.

There is nothing about him which defines him
As a conservative

Don’t forget, Cruz also called Trump supporters low-info. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

THIS JUST IN: Ted Cruz's and Marco Rubio's supporters have teamed up
in Arkansas to pack the state delegation with individuals who'll turn against
Donald Trump in a contested convention.

==========================================

Oh, wait a sec.

I hear Arkansas delegates are getting mailings.....about all the amenities at
Mar a Lago. Amazing what a flight in Trump’s plane and a night at Mar a
Lago might do for a delegate's (cough) attitude.

How you gonna keep a delegate in a Canuck's camp
after they've been wined and dined in Palm Beach?

Krauthammer Mocks Trump's CO Complaints; 'Everybody's Had the Rules'

Syndicated conservative columnist and Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer took Donald Trump to task during Monday’s Special Report panel for his long-winded complaints about the delegate selection process with Krauthammer noting that if Trump can’t handle the selection of convention delegates in Colorado, then he might not be able to take on the Chinese.

In addition, Krauthammer noted that Trump’s many detractors never expressed vocal outrage at the fact that the billionaire will have all 99 delegates from Florida back him even though he got only 47 percent of the vote (thanks to the state’s winner-take-all format).

Here it is—for NY, a NY1/Baruch College poll has Trump at 60% and the other two each in the teens:

Well, when you make a gaffe, you pay for it. Cruz's "New York values" line was a dumb thing to say no matter how some might like to spin it. Had he worded it a bit differently, it might not be an issue.

Ted's best course of action would have been to flat out admit right at the outset that he screwed up and deserves whatever boos come his way for that. Then say he's still going to talk about the issues. By trying to talk his way out of it, he just guaranteed it wouldn't go away.

ROFLMAO!! No one calls Trump a conservative. Trump is simply the means by which to destroy the GOP-E, which has been a long time coming!

Cruzlims are funny sometimes. Really, you are. Keep telling those big lies long enough and eventually you start believing them yourself.
