Republicans Enrage More Voters As Ted Cruz Tosses Around Anti-Semitic Slurs In New York

By Sarah Jones on Fri, Apr 8th, 2016 at 1:13 pm

... We have reached a point in the Republican primary where Donald Trump is being attacked by Ted Cruz (R-TX) with thinly veiled “anti-Semitic” dog whistles because he’s a New Yorker. Yes, Donald Trump of the Nazi tactics who hates Muslims, Mexicans and women is now being treated to a taste of the same medicine ...

Ted Cruz took the easy way out with this one, he is playing to the prejudices of his base who deeply resent the “city slickers” (yes, really, that is a phrase used often in the South regarding people from big cities, and Ted Cruz smugly lobbed this insult at Donald Trump during a South Carolina debate).

It’s a wonder why Cruz can’t compete without falling back on ugly, divisive tactics. This is a serious problem for a candidate who presents himself as the son of a preacher who has divine abilities to unite the country.

Cruz keeps trying to sell himself to the GOP establishment as a better choice than Donald Trump, because he is a supposed uniter. Aside from the fact that Cruz is almost universally loathed by his own party colleagues, Cruz is trailing Trump in New York by wide margins. The smug disdain for Democrats and liberals because they champion rights for all citizens doesn’t play very well in a lot of places ...
