I don’t think it’s a matter of siding with New Yorkers.
It is an issue of whether anyone should dis the people of a state they may need to win the presidency.
It’s a question of insulting people. You just don’t do that to a group, whether you expect them to vote for you or not.
You disagree on policy. You don’t just blanket insult them.
B.S. everyone knows NYC is full of liberals and that was what
he was referring to and even referencing Trump’s own comments.
If you want to pretend you don’t get it, go ahead.
You are looking through stary eyes if you really think that Trump is praising such NYC ultra-liberal-de-Blasio values just to win THIS election,
so he can do the exact opposite once he gets in the WH and be the superconservative.
Considering that he was a liberal up until this most recently for this run.
Very ineffective tactic for a politician but its part of the standard operating procedure for the GOP to insult the base. Sad that Cruz got caught up in the contest enough to go there. Reminds me of Romney and the 40%, you want to think it fine but saying it is bound to turn off that 40% & a bunch more.
While 911 is not a reason to give New Yorkers a pass for the liberals they have elected it does go a long way toward explaining the visceral response to someone dissing our city. When you take a blow like that because, to a terrorist group, your city is symbol of America you pull together. New Yorkers are still pulling together.
