Mischaracterization. Cruz's remark concerned the name on the plane, not the plane itself.

Sure... sure, like how he also remarked about how he stayed in IA instead of flying back to a posh NY pad. Sure... Sure. Not even a nice try.

"I feel confident that I'm never going to have a plane with my name on it," he said at a church. "How do you run a grassroots campaign? It's very time intensive. It's labor intensive. You don't do it sitting back in the easy chair. You don't do it from a TV studio in Manhattan."

Where's the remark about the "posh NY pad"? I don't see it. That conveys a different meaning than "easy chair."

Cruz was absolutely right. Campaigns are won by getting out and doing the hard work on the ground. Trump is old and he's accustomed to his luxuries...it's easier not to bother.
