It was a dumb statement and he and his followers cannot admit that. Hence, the spin.

Admit it? They don't even realize it.

Funny how when Trump doubles down on controversial statements his followers fill FR threads with hosannas to his tell-it-like-it-is-in-your-face-never-back-down-from-fight-anti-PC boldness.

I said today that as a guy who at this point supports Cruz, it was a dumb statement from a very intelligent guy. I even said if it was a larger thing than New York it could be a 47% kind of statement.

HOWEVER, what I find equally dumb, if not entirely disingenuous, is this faux outrage and concern and these outlandish statements that Ted Cruz hates New Yorkers or Ted Cruz disrespected 9-11 victims because Donald Trump decided to turn it into that.

The fact is, everyone here KNOWS that’s not what Cruz meant when he said “New York values” and outside of all this nonsense we’re arguing about right now almost everyone here AGREES with Ted Cruz about the cultural and political stench that is New York as a whole these days- not every person, but you don’t decide to fine employers $250,000 because they refuse to play fantasy and refer to a man as “miss, or ma’am” because your values are in line with conservatives or the people who believe in traditional values and Judeo Christian values, and constitutional values in this country. Same as the SAFE Act. Same as “we’ll dictate your soda size”. Same as DeBlasio. Same as Bloomberg. Same as Cuomo. Same as “we’ll criminalize selling cigarettes because that keeps us from getting tax money on them.” Same as gay pride parades. Same as Wall Street over Main Street. Same as greed, perversion, and decadence.

Everyone KNEW what Cruz meant, and almost everyone AGREES with him.

But because the Donald is running, and because the Donald is from New York, and because the Donald is so dreamy and wants to make it a flowery, emotional thing, well we also have to make it a flowery, emotional thing and get all hot and bothered because the mean, bigoted Texan talked bad about our new favorite state.
