It is true and I was for Cruz, even donated to him - but that changed starting with taking Neil Bush into his campaign, then siding with the Chicago protestors and on from there.

Yes, you really need to be from NY to understand anything about NY - plus you are confusing values with politcians. I am totally disgusted with the politics, yet I vote anyway eventhough my vote means nothing most of the time.

I was offended by his comment because he lumped everyone in NY into one negative comment - he forgets those of us who fight the loosing battle here, but continue the fight anyway.

And I do disavow all the crappy liberal policies here, but not all NYers are blinded to Clinton, Schummer, Deblasio, Bloomberg, etc.

His comment was directed to Trump and lumping Trump with the liberal politicians.

He was not attacking the people.

Again, I would have no offense if he made this kind of comment about California.

Yes. There are a lot of long suffering conservatives here (fortunately I live in Devin Nunes’ conservative district), but they make up about 25% of the population.

How in the hell could you take this to be an attack on the people, let alone the firefighters and police officers who save lives during 9/11?

This is so completely overblown, it’s ludicrous.

Cruz hasn't compromised his positions hiring Neil Bush. Neil Bush is simply falling in line getting beside Cruz.

then siding with the Chicago protestors and on from there.

To say that Cruz was siding with the protestors is wrong. Cruz first and foremost blamed the protestors.

I'm from NY. I know exactly what Cruz was saying. It was Trump several years back, who lumped all NY'ers together and who defended his liberal positions by saying that he was from NY.

To Trump, abortion...etc, is NY values and that all NY'ers have them. You should be offended by that and not by what Cruz said.

Cruz's comment was a play on what Trump said.
