Stop with this corn pone New York values BS. Some parts of New York are more conservative than the South with less divorce and less out of wedlock births and these days less crime and have been voting Republican longer than some in the South have.

Hey NOOB...when I hear the term New York City values I reflect back to the Chili commercial where the cowboys find out a Chili was made in New York City. In unison, they exclaimed jointly in loud protest “NEW YORK CITY???!!!”. Some times the best stuff is not perceived as coming out of New York—and THAT is what Ted Cruz meant by “New York City values”.
Sometimes, BAD Chili and other bad things come out of there in the minds of many Americans.
And Cruz's wife is New York values. She works for New York based Goldman Sachs.
