Ted Cruz will have a tough time besting Donald Trump in his home state of New York, but his new ad packs quite a punch.

Cruz is also taking the attack on De Blasio to the radio:

Watching Cruz’s analytical, data-driven campaign take on New York City’s mayor makes me wonder how bad De Blasio’s approval rating must be among the Empire State’s GOP primary voters.

    HVTs:

    BrentB67:

    I agree this is troubling.

    The problem is that data tends to support stop and frisk.

    A better way to approach it is supporting liberalizing gun laws in NYC so a greater portion of the citizenry can protect themselves rather than relying on the police and over empowering them.

    Supportive of concealed carry as I am, I’d still much rather have trained professionals disarming bad guys and getting them off the streets. There’s no reason we can’t do both, BTW. But the most important thing is to empower our police officers with training and political top-cover. They should know how to do Stop & Frisk the right way, and also know that their political masters and the public at large is highly supportive of them using this tactic.

    It would be nice to have a politician actually get out ahead of the Left for once. I’d like hear one say: “We are giving our police officers the training they need and they will be—as they always are—held accountable for their actions. But they have to make hard decisions very quickly, so let’s just accept right now it won’t always go perfectly. So what? That doesn’t mean Stop & Frisk isn’t contributing enormously to our number one goal: keeping law abiding citizens safe from violent criminals.”

    Well said and well reasoned. Thanks.

    TKC1101: Your assessment of the endorsement by Giuliani was entirely a forecast of future events.

    I don’t understand this comment. I was saying that, psychologically, Giuliani, like most Trump supporters, likes the idea of strong man who will shake up the seemingly unbreakable status quo. That has nothing to do with whether Trump will turn out to be Caesar.

    By the way, I don’t think that you support Trump for the same reasons. Your support seems at least in part tied to the fact that he reminds you of people you know and respect.

    Now, my comment was off the cuff. It could be the RG’s opinions are closer to yours. I doubt it, though, because I think that politicians are very different from the rest of us.
