It is not about the media, but voters.

I believe he has admitted to all that he was in 1999. Now in 2016, he believes differently.

Trump needs to ask for forgiveness! - why? in 1999 He is not getting an abortion and he says he hates the concept of it.

“Why apologize to people that would have never voted for him in the first place”

Because the narrative of Cruz slapping the “values” (note this is a vague word that was not clearly qualified) of a “New York” and then having the people there showcase their collective response to 9-11 as what they consider their values as being was an effective kill-shot that can and will tar him in places that would have voted for him.

People on FR desperately looking for negative stuff to back up Cruz (or at least think they are), is only reinforcing a flub after the battle is already lost, and is only helping make NYC into the “victim” of an unprovoked swipe.

“Ted can’t compromise his values or opinions for the sake of political correctness to satisfy the majority of New York liberals”

Making a poorly-deviled statement is not a “value”.

“So what if they are offended”

When the media that reside in NYC own more ink than God, giving them a target that benefits you in no way to stand by, is a sure way to get demolished.

“You can’t be a true conservative and support liberal values”

Which has nothing o do with this.

“Texans elected him to the Senate...”

He isnt running for the Senate in Texas.

“So give’em hell Ted and may the force be with you.”

So he speaks out of moth sides of his mouth...and that is okay with you? Pathetic! It’s like him saying “I really don’t like the notion of people coming here illegally, but I don’t support building a wall...you know I was raised in New York”

"I can be critical of liberals and not an entire state of people. "

You've already been told Cruz was talking specifically about NYC. So you might as well not sit there and preach about God while you're persisting in a lie.

"I love visiting NYC. Cruz will beg for forgiveness. Apology will be accepted and this will all be forgotten next week."

So you want a Constitutional conservative to "beg forgiveness" from liberals?

Yeah, you're like something I scrape off the bottom of my shoe. You're dismissed.

These people control 99% of the media in this nation,

And therein lies the vast bulk of the problem.

Nothing gets to the American people unless it goes through a Liberal New York Democrat Union member filter. If they don't approve it, it doesn't get heard.

This Liberal monopoly of access to the public is the primary cause of what is wrong in this nation.

Prove it with statistics. South seems to violate a lot of commandments. The top murder states seem to be in the south.

NATIONWIDE MURDER RATES

BY 2014 RANK, HIGHEST TO LOWEST (other years shown for comparison) MURDER RATES PER 100,000 PEOPLE

An ugly truth that most people want to ignore is that about 3% of the national population known as "young black males" account for 40% of the murders, rapes, robberies and thefts.

I believe it was Charles Murray (The Bell Curve) who pointed out that if you remove minorities from the crime statistics, our crime rates are actually lower than Sweden.

Why such ugly personal attacks at me? I was not rude to you. I read the transcript of what Ted said. I do not believe it was a smart thing to say. You disagree, that is fine. I respect that. Ted will apologize. It will be ok.

There are typically 4-10 times the percentage black population in southern states versus northern or western states

Blacks who do marry divorce at 2-3 times white rate

That is the issue right there

One big difference in general is marriage rate period

Folks marry down here more but admittedly it has fallen off sharply amongst poorer whites and hipsters

It will not end well

Like South Chicago?

Does Maryland (Baltimore) count as "Southern" now that we're not discussing the War Between the States?

How about St. Louis?

Someone just might be mistaking the actions of a specific demographic for the actions of an entire region.

Pathetic is using something from almost 20 years ago when modern day Trump has said he is now firmly against abortion. And by the way - Ronald Reagan legalized abortion in California before Roe V Wade.

So Southern values can’t cure that? Jesus can cure anything but blacks?

Most people in this country voted for Obama twice.

Most of the people who voted (even twice or more) is still not most of the people.
