Didn’t Alphonse Capone emigrate from NYC before arriving in Chicago on Johnny Torrio’s doorstep to screw up that burgh as well?
My idea of New York values: a big mouth, an entitled sense that New York is the best place in the world, celebrity-worship, attachment to nauseating Broadway musicals, and pro-Democrat politics.
Well yeah, and really, trashing a state or region doesn’t seem to be a smart way to win the primaries anywise.
If Cruz’s strategy is to win on the South and the Midwest...that’s a bad strategy.
This comment is going to haunt Cruz for the rest of his career.
We need a uniter not a divider, and Cruz played ID politics. Those are politics of division which are liberal politics.
New York values are also hard work, tenacity, toughness, and ambition.
There’s a reason New York is the economic capital of the world, the city has that attitude, and America needs that attitude(without the COMMIE CRAP)
George W Bush got it, and he embraced the city as his own after 9/11.
Cruz had the chance to offer a positive conservative message to New York and instead he gave a smarmy sarcastic non-answer.
Maybe it played well in Iowa, but he’s dead in the general, and can kiss Florida goodbye,
“For the record Trump will win New York in the primaries and regular election.
Cruz just tossed NY 100% for the Democrats.
“
Do you understand that you are refuting your first sentence with your second sentence?
I did not even read your post any further, as it made no sense at that point, UNLESS you mean Trump will leave the GOP and run and win as a Democrat.
Is that what you are saying?
“It remains to be seen if he attracted more voters than he allegedly alienated.”
His target audience are the voters in the South who are leaning Trump but may pause when they think of the lack of social conservatism, i.e. - NY values - that exist in the man.
These people are even stronger of social conservatism than they are on fiscal conservatism, and Ted knows the GOP in not fighting enough against abortion, gay marriage and the like are not conservative for them, particularly when considering who to put of the SC next.
“We need a uniter not a divider, and Cruz played ID politics.”
Uniter sounds to me like the “we gotta get along” that has cursed the GOP for many years and caused the death spiral that spewed Obama.
It is a bunch of crap. You think Trump is a uniter? We need to have people who are throwbacks on right vs wrong, and call it that way. I am tired of the PC that has shrunk our morality. I want a fighter like Norman Schwarzkopf, the perfect person who should have run against Clinton in 1996.
