How smart is it to go out and piss off the nation’s largest city and hometown of your biggest opponent?

But then, we know Cruz isn’t very experienced.

“How smart is it to go out and piss off the nation’s largest city and hometown of your biggest opponent?”

You must not be from the South.

Southerners know exactly what Ted said and meant, and their strong propensity for Social Conservatism was the target Ted wanted. Those Southerners who were ready to pull the lever for Trump will be thinking about whether he has the true social values they strongly believe in.

And exactly how many votes was he going to get from the bastion of liberalism NY anyway?

Cruz is very, very smart on this.

I wonder if Cruz supporters still think this was a “brilliant” trap Cruz set for Trump?

If anything it should put to bed this myth that Cruz is the greatest debater in history and that that alone would win the election.

Winning the presidency is about attracting the middle. Cruz was never going to win NYC in any case. It remains to be seen if he attracted more voters than he allegedly alienated.

As Todd said: “Duck Dynasty values vs Bill de Blasio values.”

Pissed off or not, they voted for Ted over The Donald in their straw poll, AFTER he made the statement. The only people pissed off are libs and RINO’s.
