The NYers who were offended were pretending to be offended and were never ever ever going to vote for a conservative like Cruz. Oh, and trumpy concern trolls pretended to be offended too, because 911 or something.

Conservative NYers know exactly what Cruz was talking about. Exactly.

That's the impression I've been getting from New Yorkers with a true conservative bent.

As far as the comparison between Trump and Reagan is concerned, its downright dishonest. Reagan didn't pander to liberals for votes, Reagan sold conservative republicanism to those democrats who conservative but democrat by habit. What I grew up with here in the heart of Reagan Democrat territory is that Reaganomics helped attract democrats but the real draw was in making them see that traditional social values were welcome within the GOP at a time when they were being purged from the democrats.

Today some 40% of MI union members are already voting republican and the rest are on the socialist to marxist scale. My cousin is one of those mixed socialist union democrats. He likes traditional family values but wants someone to pay for full medical and wants to retire at 50. He and a couple doesn't of his union "brothers" went to the big Trump rally in Grand Rapids a couple weeks ago but only because they wrote it up as union duties and got paid for it. They're still going to vote for Clinton or Sanders.
