Oh, that comment will change a few minds.

You have an example a few posts up about a Freepers husband
changed his mind.
The question is how many minds will it change?
That we don’t know.

Exactly. Undecideds are going to lean away from Cruz after it’s pointed out what a hypocrite he is. Calling NY vile while your wife works for the worst NY bank of bunch and you are raking in piles of their cash won’t fly in fly over country. People want authenticity and not beltway theater BS. Cruz comes off as a hypocritical beltway careerist politician. That’s the last thing the GOP base want right now.

The real debate 'gotchas' reinforce a particular candidates already perceived weakness - like Dukakis limp response to the question about his wife being raped. I don't see anything happening here except Cruz not being quite specific enough to exclude the minority of conservative New Yorkers in his comment.

I do not think this is what will cost him New York delegates.
