Actually, I have no idea what YOU mean.
Of course that’s WHY Ted said it. That’s a whole other issue from what he MEANT in saying it.
I mean, in saying I don’t know what Cruz meant, you actually inadvertently said the same thing that I did- less articulately, more articulately, who knows, who cares.
But the point I made was that Cruz was saying New York values are liberal.
Which you follow up and say the same thing- “New York values are liberal and Cruz was saying Trump is a New York liberal.”
What’s lost on me is how you figure Cruz isn’t taking return fire. He clearly is. Nor is he trying to shy away from it. As a matter of fact, saying, “I apologize... that New York is such a liberal failure” is a creative way of doubling down.

Cruz was too cute by half. Instead of just saying Trump is a NY Liberal he tried to do it in a backhanded way. In the process he alienated a lot of potential Cruz voters and gave Trump an easy retort with 9/11.
The problem for Cruz is a large percent people are not paying much attention. Now he’s defined himself in ways that are not helpful for his campaign. He can double down all he wants but it doesn’t matter what he says now to the people who have tuned him out.
