Here’s the thing, whether it’s NYC, Chicago, LA, Boston, Philadelphia...what all these cities have in common is a population that invariably turns toward liberal representation at the local level. That’s just the way it is. All sorts of conditions contribute to this, but this is the undeniable reality in cities all across America. Now, that liberal representation has often pitted rich against poor, played the race card, created and maintained a nanny state that is self-perpetuating, dismissed individual responsibility, catered to the liberal path when it comes to social issues (abortion, homosexuals, education, etc.). This bent, as we ALL know here at FR are the values that Ted Cruz was speaking about. Anyone here who did not know this is either being willfully ignorant or disingenuous. Period. This is FreeRepublic, for crying out loud. Except for trolls, this is the place where you come to speak out against all these things. We deem them to be at the very core of so many of our nation’s problems. Yet many here, because they feel that it somehow taints their candidate of choice (Trump), willfully choose to turn Cruz’s statement into something it was so CLEARLY NOT. They call Cruz liberal, for goodness sake! And then, the Cruzers respond in kind.
So, once more we have republicans eating their own, lowering the level of discourse, providing the opposition with enough ammo to get them through the election cycle, wounded Hillary, notwithstanding.
It was a DUMB statement, it pitted state against state.
