Putting down New York is a convenient political ploy, but Ted Cruz loves one thing New York can give him, something he can’t live without.

Of course, faux populism is nothing new from Cruz, who now duck hunts with the “Duck Dynasty” clan but at Harvard Law “refused to study with anyone who hadn’t been an undergrad at Harvard, Princeton, or Yale.” Nor is contempt for New Yorkers, as he voted against aid for victims of Hurricane Sandy but demanded federal aid for people affected by flooding in Texas.

But there is one thing Cruz seems to like about New York: money.

According to the Federal Election Commission, New York is the fourth biggest fundraising state for the Cruz campaign.

In fact, it was at a New York fundraiser for his campaign that Cruz told a pro-gay-marriage donor that he wouldn’t make opposition to marriage equality a top priority of his administration, seeming to contradict what he told Religious Right groups.
