Cruz said that Trump had NY values. He never once said that NY values were bad or that NY'ers were bad. I guess NY'ers instinctively know that their values suck and that the truth hurts.
If you NY'ers are so tough quit crying and GTFOH!
“He never once said that NY values were bad or that NY’ers were bad”
Yes he did. By word, by context, by implication.
“Cruz said that Trump had NY values. He never once said that NY values were bad or that NY’ers were bad.”
I guess the subtle implication in Ted’s statement went right over your head. Ted spat that remark at Donald as an insult, and everyone watching saw it that way. It’s why he’s getting such a chilly reception in New York.
But continue explaining his faux pas away. Maybe you’ll convince New Yorkers that Ted didn’t really insult them.
