He may have had a point about NY, but why he would put a city or state down like that in a public setting, a televised debate, is beyond me. It was just so dumb. For the last 7 years we've had a president who hasn't even tried to pretend he's a president for all the people. I was just a little stunned that Cruz said what he did.
I don’t know why he did it either. I can only assume it was a mistake.
There are people from New York in many places that are not New York, so I don’t really see how it benefits him to paint with a broad brush like that.
