The longer Ted Cruz can keep the ‘’New York values’’ brouhaha in the news, the better for his campaign.
Americans aren’t just angry at Washington, they’re angry at the entire Washington/New York axis of corruption and evil.
Washington forces citizens to pay trillions of dollars in taxes, which it then pours into Wall Street banks, which allows New York City to thrive even though it has the same destructive economic policies and enormous public-service-union problems as bankrupt Detroit.
Without trillions of taxpayer dollars, New York City bankers and other malefactors of great wealth would not be able to afford condos in Donald Trump’s towers, and he would have gone bankrupt by now.
The numbers do not support this statement. Since the debate, there has been a 6 point swing for Trump (Trump +4, Cruz -2).
This is a debate that I thought Cruz had won except for the New York thing.
It is marginally hurting his own numbers, but more importantly, bringing more voters to Trump.
Those who were Cruz supporters are mostly sticking with him, but a greater number of other voters are moving to Trump.
This was a bad move by Cruz. He opened the door for Trump to go on offense, and he's done it.
Whether Cruz can withstand the heat, we'll see. I'm not impressed so far, but we'll see.
