How true...
Fred Dicker: What is it going to mean for Donald Trump to have Bill de Blasio as [New York City] Mayor? "
Donald Trump: "He's a smart guy that knows what's going on really big league and I think he is not going to want to destroy New York."
(Voice Over: That was Donald Trump a little over two years ago, endorsing [Marxist] Bill de Blasio for New York Mayor)
Donald Trump: "I think pretty strongly that he'll end up being a good mayor, maybe a very good mayor."
(Voice Over: De Blasio ran on class warfare, sanctuary cities and ending stop and frisk. De Blasio's sided with looters and cop killers against the police, with teachers unions against schoolchildren and with PC liberals to let the homeless run wild on city streets)
Donald Trump: "I think he is going to want to make New York great. ..."

In continuing his "New York values" line of attack, Ted Cruz brought up an interview Donald Trump gave years ago in which he himself emphasized his New York background as being important to his political philosophy. And now we have that interview.
Cruz's campaign posted the video earlier today of Trump with Tim Russert on Meet the Press in 1999.
Russert asked Trump about gay marriage. Trump didn't want to comment on it, but said he has no problem with gays in the military.
He explained, "I've lived in New York City and Manhattan all my life, okay? So my views are a little bit different than if I lived in Iowa."
When Russert asked Trump about abortion, he said he's "pro-choice in every respect" and again cited his New York background, which he said has a "different attitude" from most of the country.
Well, it certainly gets to the heart of Trump’s persona. It’s interesting to me that Texans for Cruz hate this man because he’s rude and crude but fail to see how so many of THEIR politicians (left and right) grate against New York sensibilities. Oil and water, indeed. We’ll see who wins: oil or water?
Donald Trump is a warlock and he’s casting a spell on America. ;-)
Latest Feb 14 South Carolina poll:

Helluva piece. I’m a Cruz guy, but will certainly support Trump if he is nominated. I am tiring fast of all the acrimony among the two sides.
Wow. This is the only time I can say that Mr. Greenfield doesn’t get it.
Trump isn’t our candidate. He’s our murder weapon. And we are going to use him to gut the GOPe like a fish. Then we are going to toss the remains onto the gut pile for the buzzards.
All good now?

In other words Trump doesn't stand for a limited government or posses a vision of liberty, but he knows he doesn't like when government makes his life less awesome.
People write as if New York is just one city—and not a state.
Upstaters are nothing like the city people.
.
I have met many like Trump in NYC. I don’t generally trust people like that though.
Greenfield did not discuss Trump’s function in this article, only his demeanor.
I agree, Trump is the people’s weapon of choice. Who knows where it will end up?
A Trump presidency would at least return glamour and class to the WH. That alone would be a nice break from the madness and chaos we have now.
Is Trump a trustworthy flag carrier for traditional Americanism? Perhaps. He certainly is better than most of the available options.
In any event, you are correct. We like Trump’s killer instinct.
“Trump isn’t our candidate. He’s our murder weapon”
Hehehehe, Well put.
That was good for at least 10 points for Trump in the polls as voters got to see the human side of Trump.
Hopefully we will see an encore.
This wasn’t even necessary for Mr. Trump. Donald Trump got the numbers and the city wrong, but there were substantial demonstrations in Patterson, New Jersey after the towers fell on 9/11. The celebrations in Jersey City were smaller.
“Is Trump a trustworthy flag carrier for traditional Americanism? Perhaps.”
Ohhhhhhhhhhh yeah. No reason to look for an alternative there. Maybe we should go with a blindfold and a dartboard.
I like him but he blew one thing. He said the average republican voter isn’t a policy expert.
That’s pure USDA prime, gold plated, bullshit. We have had our faces ground into policy like a dog into a mess on the carpet. We hump the hills, have ass in the grass, drove unsecure MSRs in Iraq, get ignored at the VA, have family killed by Mexicans, had grandmother heads sawed off in Oklahoma, daughters shot on the wharf in San Fran, been shot to pieces in San Berdoo by crazed dune coons, can’t run a marathon in Boston, had the skinnies from Blackhawk down kick us out of cabs in Minneapolis, seen a bacchanal of homesexuality in our schools, watched our astronauts have to hitch rides on Russian spaceships, watched baby parts being sold, had our emails all stolen and read.
Do we know policy Mr Sultan who I love? F’ing A bet your assets on it. We are F’ing policy experts!
Is just that we utterly hate the policy, so they say we don’t understand.
Immigration and Islamic infiltration are the only things that matter, all else derives from that topic area.
We can win philosophical and policy arguments all day long forever, but if whites continue to dwindle away, our principles will never again prevail in elections here because we are being replaced. Demographics = destiny.
