I would like to find a Republican I could vote for.
...if my primary vote counted.
You know, I don't even know what "New York value" is. Is he talking about Bernie? or.......Lou Reed?
On ever playing for a New York team: "I would retire first. It's the most hectic, nerve-racking city. Imagine having to take the [Number] 7 train to the ballpark, looking like you're [riding through] Beirut next to some kid with purple hair next to some queer with AIDS right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing."
On New York City itself: "The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. I'm not a very big fan of foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?"
On Mets fans: "Nowhere else in the country do people spit at you, throw bottles at you, throw quarters at you, throw batteries at you and say, 'Hey, I did your mother last night -- she's a whore.' I talked about what degenerates they were, and they proved me right. Just by saying something, I could make them mad enough to go home and slap their moms."
A Trump or Cruz candidacy all but guarantees a D in the White House until 2020. This is where the more moderate Clinton would sweep the purple states.
One could argue, however, that this would present an opportunity for a real progressive (Sanders) in the WH because the competition will be so weak. But, gosh, that's some high risk/high reward going on there.
HRC should choose Bernie as her VP. Take his white college kids.
There is still a world in which Rubio is the nominee.
This is an amazing tool in understanding how voter turnout among different groups can shift the electoral map. I encourage everyone to check it out.

Trump is exciting non-college degree whites that have had a lower voter turnout in 2012. A bump in turnout by 5% and 5% towards the gop leads to a Trump landslide if the other variables remain the same as 2012.

it's definitely interesting. although every candidate comes with some baggage, so with Trump, i think you'd see an increase of Latino voters turning out and voting democratic. the Trump rally cry of "What do we want?" "A WALL!!!" "Who's gonna build it?" "MEXICO!!!" call-and-response is pretty repugnant, and will be a great way to make sure that NV, CO, and NM all stay blue.
We're assuming American born Latinos who have been here for generations, are cool with illegals coming in and the Feds giving them free stuff just because they share a common language.
I think the Latino demographic is not as uniform as you make it out to be.

History shows that Hispanics will not vote for those that speak of building walls. And it has very little to do with being ok with people coming in illegally and getting free stuff, but more to do with what the wall represents and the rhetoric that comes with it. Plus Trump has doubled down on his anti-Mexico and I'm sure SOME are good people rhetoric. He's even lost a percentage of Hispanics that would normally vote Republican.

Can you provide a "citation" for the this History you speak of ?
Sometimes common sense doesn't require documentation. This is one of those cases.

Feel free to read between the lines as to what Ted Cruz means when he mentions being driven by money and media.

I admire you too, Ashley.
Your little friendly personal comment aside, it wouldn't surprise me if progressive types outside of the US don't take too kindly to the term. And I guess the responses here go to show how uncontroversial a term it actually is.
I know, right? He's utterly loathsome, and in a way totally different from Huckabee or Santorum.
“There are many, many wonderful working [white, Christian] men and women in the state of New York. But everyone understands that the values in New York City are socially liberal, pro-abortion, pro-Gay marriage [because black, Jewish, gay people live there], and focus on money [Jew Jew Jew] and the media [Jew Jew Jew]. Indeed, the reason I said that, as I was asked, my friend Donald has taken to in his advance playing Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Born in the USA.’ And I was asked what I thought of that. ‘Well, if he wanted to play a song, he could play ‘New York, New York.’ [Unexpected throwback Italian burn.]”
