“If you are a conservative, New York is the enemy. It does is no good to make nice nice with my home state. Don’t fall for the media bait that Narcissist York is “just another part of America.” You never lose votes by bashing New York.”
As a Southerner, I have often been of the receiving end of such regional bigotry and dismissal. The people who use it are fecal smears. I note that you have zero problem with maligning everyone in a large area to gain a cheese dick, fleeting tactical point.
Cruz blew it. He also blew any shot at VP with Trump too. Cruz is now just dead weight that would hinder cross over appeal and would add nothing but cowboy boots he never earned and hair oil he can keep. He is not worth carrying, and he won’t be.
And as a southerner, you probably know what New Yorkers think and say about your region of the country. You are way too kind to those who don’t deserve it. Again, nobody is upset about NY bashing other than the residents of Narcissist York, who will vote Dem anyway. A conservative Pubbie will never win the immigrant, Asian, Latino, Yuppie, Jewish, hipster constituencies which together control the electorate up there.
