This is now WAR. Cruz wants to bring up Trump's NY values and positions from 17 years ago. Trump is bringing up Cruz's sucking up to gay businessmen in Manhattan for MONEY.
“Cruz’s sucking up to gay businessmen in Manhattan for MONEY.”
Sounds like a male prostitute?
Sounds like NY values to me.
Actually, I am sick of this subject and wish they would both agree to drop it.
...says the man who admittedly bribed public officials for pure greed. He could have been an honest businessman.
...says the man who defended his pro-abortion and pro-partial
birth abortion positions by saying it’s because “I’m from New York”.
...says the man who donated to the most Liberal of politicians.
...says the man who after the Baby Parts Scandal touted Planned Parenthood and then changed that rhetoric when he found it wasn’t the right position.
Incredible.
Iowa just isn’t that important.
This will hurt almost as much as Cruz.
Cruz is not so much a hypocrite as a fraud. He’s got everyone believing his this Tea Party Texas crusader for the people, but it’s all an act. He’s Princeton, Harvard, Goldman Sachs, Manhattan elite to the bone. Get over it.
The ‘Trump walked into a trap’ people are about to get a lesson in the real use of force.
Has senility and dementia set in on Trump? He can’t remember that he SPECIFICALLY SAID HE HAD NEW YORK VALUES (AFTER DEFINING THEM BY EXAMPLES) and HE ALSO SAID HE WOULD HAVE SPECIFICALLY HAD DIFFERENT (IOWA) VALUES IF HE WAS RAISED IN IOWA. Trump actually used Iowa as a place with values different than New York values.

I don’t get it. Is he supposed to boycott gay people because he is anti-gay marriage?
Just gotta laugh at Phineas T Trump...8 negative, insulting, and misleading tweets about Ted Cruz in the past 5 hours! I think the Donald has a dangerously pathologic level of OCD...not a good thing for someone who might have access to ‘nucular’ codes!
The PT Trump clown show will wear thin with the masses at some point...one more debate before Iowa!
There is no hypocracy in Cruz raising money from anyone who will support him. Cruz has never changed or hidden his social conservatism.
What is hypocritical is Trump (whose whole campaign to this point has been about attacking the establishment and breaking the rules of political correctness) now appointing himself as the enforcer of political correctness and attacking Cruz for daring to criticize the epicenter of social liberalism in the United States - New York City.
This is especially hypocritical given that Trump gave a long interview to Tim Russert in 1999 where he repeatedly referred to growing up and living in New York City as the reason that he (Trump) was pro choice and pro gay rights. Trump even admitted that his New York values were different than they might have been if he had grown up in Iowa. Sorry, but this interview changes everything - Trump might as well pack up and leave Iowa it is game, set and match for Cruz.

From the article about the 2 hosts...
Draw your own conclusion...
‘Mr. Reisner and Mr. Weiderpass have been generous donors to gay political causes and charities, including the Empire State Pride Agenda and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center.’
Oh yeah
I remember this one. This was so terrible. Ted actually had the AUDACITY to socialize with gay people and treat them kindly.
He had the NERVE, apparently, to say if one of his daughters wound up gay, he wouldn’t ostracize her from his life.
As I recall, in fact, it was the two gay men who hosted this who caused a firestorm for themselves from the gay community, who looked at them as traitors and promised never to patronize their properties again.
Cruz defended them from their own “people”.
And looking at the article, as I also remembered, it was not a fundraiser. So it’s a stretch to say Ted was “begging” for anyone’s money.
Also in the article:
Mr. Reisner said he and Mr. Weiderpass jointly own the duplex apartment where the event was held. He said that a third host, Sam Domb — another partner in their business who used to work with Rudolph W. Giuliani, a Republican and a former mayor of New York — was also a property owner there.
The three men are strong supporters of Israel, as is Mr. Cruz. Mr. Reisner, who said members of his family perished in the Holocaust, said Mr. Cruz’s foreign policy views were part of the appeal for people like Mr. Domb.
Gee, it couldn’t have been a mutal support of Israel type of thing, could it?
NO, it HAD to be that Cruz was “sucking up” to gays for money.
In all of this JUVENILE “stuff”, Trump and Trump supporters don’t seem to even realize he resides in the pretty much the largest glass house of anyone running.
Yeah, he’s not funded by the Goldman Sachs of the world. That’s his “safe spot.”
But every time he opens his mouth to criticize someone, he’s leaving a wide opening in a different way on usually the exact same subject.
“Not a lot of evangelicals come out of Cuba”?
How many evangelicals say they never ask God for forgiveness Donald?
“Ted isn’t as strong on marriage values and same sex marriage as he wants to let on.”
“How strong have your marriages been, what was your stance on Kim Davis, the Supreme Court’s ruling on SSM, and why the fascination with “Caitlyn” Jenner as a judge for your pageant, Donald?”
Admittedly,the last part is mostly a turnoff for pure and strong social conservatives, like me. And even with that, I don’t particularly care that he’s been married 3 times.
But when you’re all mouth, all ego, and yeah you do love the country, apparently you become completely unaware that all 4 walls around you are nothing but glass.
” This is now WAR.”
And not just between Trump and Cruz. Judging by the comments it’s among freepers too.
Trump knows being painted as a New York Republican is potential doom with many primary voters. So first he misdirects with the manifestly phony attempt to paint it as an attack on 9-11 first responders and, laughably, all New Yorkers. And now this.
I'm supposed to believe that it's hypocritical for Cruz to meet with New York Republicans or gasp, raise money from them because, what, Cruz criticized New York liberalism?
This was published in April, 2015 but that doesn’t take away from the info contained.
Here is a link to the NY Times article from that date which includes a photo of Senator
Ted Cruz with Mati Weiderpass one of the co-host of the fundraiser.
Heck New York money and residents apparently aren’t that bad after all.
Rafael sleeps with an employee of Goldman Sachs, on unpaid leave, every night who made 500,000 dollars as an advisor with connections. He runs with a fast well-heeled sophisticated crowd in Houston and other parts of TX. He’s not anything he portrays to the working class folks in Iowa. He’s Elmer Gantry hoodwinking honest hard working folks who know what it is to work and make a dollar. He’s toast.
Springwater, Ted is going down. Everyone who attacks Trump goes down.

The Ted Cruz wiseguy apology to the people of New York is a disgrace. Remember, his wife’s employer, and his lender, is located there!

Ted hates them New York values but he loves that New York money.
Ted walked into this one when he insulted an entire state.
