New York Values beat Southern Values: Less divorce rate than south (even counting Trump's divorces)

Just having a little fun at Cruz's expense but his talk about New York values is a little stupid.

New York - be it the city or the state or the tri-state area (NJ, CT and sometimes PA) is pretty conservative in a lot of things. For example, there is less out of wedlock births and less crime than many cities in the so called south these days and if you want to judge by divorce rates, NY and NJ rank at last while 'traditional values' states rank the highest.

Texas is one of the leading divorce rates states.

We’ll pass over the fact, which you’re deliberately ignoring, that Cruz was talking about liberal NYC.

What I want to know is when you became so sympathetic toward one of the most liberal areas in the country?

The south is about 30% black

That will dilute any marriage rate stat markedly

Just do a churches per square mile

Or charity

Or voting

But we’ve been diluted no question

The Piedmont and Florida and North Virginia

Diluted by whom?

Duh

You’re lying as well as your sleazebag hero. Congratulations, you’ve become a liberal, too.

The 2013 New York mayoral race only had a turnout of 24% of registered voters, I think that is a record low. Of them, De Blasio won 73%.

The narrative got away from him. My advice is to apologize now before it really gets cemented into the political narrative.

Why apologize to people that would have never voted for him in the first place. Still there are few conservatives left in New York who will continue to share his values and maybe vote for him. The rest can vote for whoever they want. That's their choice.

Ted can't compromise his values or opinions for the sake of political correctness to satisfy the majority of New York liberals. So what if they are offended? You can't be a true conservative and support liberal values. The two don't mix. We have too many like that already in Washington. So my advice is stand firm.

Texans elected him to the Senate to do that and so far he has not disappointed us. So give'em hell Ted and may the force be with you.

I am sure Cruz loves New Yorkers...just not some of their values.

It's incredible, really. I've only been posting since 2011 and lurking since 2008, but I never imagined anything like it.

I wonder if it bothers Trumpsters that their boy pretty much admitted last night he'll lie if it benefits him...i.e., explaining that he changed his tune on Cruz's birth because of polls. The lying sleaze.

Here's that link. This guy is completely unsuited for the office of the presidency.

“Dang, Ted has started a civil war. LOL.”

It was a stupid remark by Ted Cruz, especially considering that his wife works for the preeminent New York investment bank. Evidently making a lot of money is a New York value the Cruz’s approve of.

As for Trump, he started the whole ruckus with his Trumped-up birther attack on Cruz, after signing off on his qualified status last September. If I ever shake hands with Trump I will need to count my fingers afterward to make sure they are all still there.

Let’s nominate Jeff Sessions.

Do they have fewer divorces because fewer actually get married in the first place?

BINGO!

I am neutral between Cruz and Trump.

Being looking over the entire field, I must say, is this the best we can do?

Doesn’t bode well for this country.

Has nothing to do with love; save the BS.

If you believe we should love liberals and by extension, avoid criticizing them, then you’re as hypocritical as your hero, because you can be found criticizing them plenty in your posting history.

It’s because no-one in NY gets married in the first place.

I can be critical of liberals and not an entire state of people. I love visiting NYC. Cruz will beg for forgiveness. Apology will be accepted and this will all be forgotten next week.

He has to apologize. The libs and Dem media are saying it was a slap at Jews. We know Ted loves Israel, but many low info folks do not.

Since when do liberals and Dem media actually give a $hit about Jews?
