Remember the Republican primaries, the slew of vicious attacks on Donald Trump, the endless slander? Like Ted Cruz on that debate stage, arrogant, all puffed up and slamming Donald Trump for his “New York values”. Trump shot back reminding Cruz of the New York values witnessed on 911, said he found Cruz’s remarks offensive to all New Yorkers. But most of us knew what Cruz meant. New Yorkers are world renowned for being tough, tenacious, and worldly. Most city dwellers would rather face an armed mugger in a dark alley than a pissed-off New York cab driver. So if we knew what Cruz was saying and at least on a subconscious level agreed, why didn’t the attack bring Trump down? It’s because most Americans actually like New Yorkers even if they don’t share all their values. New York’s a city that respects real-world diversity not the political staging of Democrats, thrives on people’s ability to merge lifestyles, personalities, and political views into a robust, successful, metropolis.
