Of course there are conservatives in NY. Folks in NY countryside are just like folks down South for the most part. Good, hard workin, honest people.
Ted Cruz was referring to liberal progressive policies of NY and folks down South knew exactly what he meant by that but just like politics, you'll have some pundit twist and misconstrue the statement to mean something totally different.
I'm not an anti-Trump guy. I prefer Cruz because he is my senator, he fought the establishment good ol boyz in D.C. and they hate him. Which means, he did what he promised the citizens of Texas. Go to D.C. and fight the Warshington establishment and K-street. He did and he is unpopular for it. Good for him.
If Trump gets the nomination, I will support him whole heartily. He will have to earn my trust just as I feel Cruz earned mine.
There are many cnservatives in NY city and Long Island, not just the “countryside”.
Ten Ted Cruz should have said Donald Trump supports NY Liberal Progressive POLICIES - you don’t question or insult people’s values because you think you know what they are.
I prefered Cruz also, but he lost me to Trump for the Primaries, however, I will happily vote Cruz in the general.
