So tired of the them vs us attitude! Who are they? Who are we? Teds remarks about NY values is on par with that idiot huckabees bubbaville vs bubbleville. And just as full of bs.
Most people in this country, IMO, want similar things. To live their life in a prosperous and peaceful place. They might take different roads to get there, but doesn't everyone pretty much wish to live their life as they choose?

It's professional wrestling - babyface turned heel to shore up NY.
The REP's didn't have a chance on carrying the state in general election.
It's a foregone conclusion that:
a. Cruz definitely would not have carried NY if he is the nominee, even before the comments, so literally it was a throw away line - cost him nothing.
b. By making Trump look like the hero and savior of NY'ers and their values, he not only galvanizes the REP base there, but sways Independents and right leaning DEM's toward a guy that defends their very core. A guy that not only represents, but embodies THEM.
NY - which was a slam-dunk for Hilary, is now VERY much in play with a Trump candidacy.
I'd say it is a brilliantly innovative scheme, but Vince McManon has been doing this for years. And it is amazingly effective.
