1. Virtually everybody outside of NY, in “flyover country,” knows what NY values means, including NY FReepers, if they be honest. Cruz obviously wasn’t referring to 9-11, I’m sure he will tell us so.

2. This is a conservative website, and consistent with its social conservative values, FReepers stand against the kind of values “Babylon by the Hudson” is famous for. Probably even the NY FReepers if they be honest. (I’m not referring to the libertarian types on FR, they could care less about social conservative values)

3. How then is it, we see FR Trumpsters, surely social conservative else they wouldn’t be a FReeper, right? siding with the values of Babylon by the Hudson?

Something doesn’t compute here.

Cruz was spot on. Cruz represents the conservative values of this website. After last night’s debate, how can any FR Trumpster with social conservative values, remain so.

Cruz threw down the gauntlet last night on who is a true conservative, and who is not. Who is a bonafide FReeper, and who is not.

I agree. How can Trump supporters have so much cognitive dissonance and not recognize that part of that comes from supporting a man who has learned to talk some of the talk but a man who has never walked any of the walk? Thus, they never whined when he called Iowans stupid. That was okay. They didn't see it as a weird and cheap shot when Trump attacked Carson's religion, as if that is a decent thing for an American to do. They didn't care when Trump (possibly out of pure ignorance) used Liberal/Union talking points to attack Walker. They didn't care when Trump attacked Cruz's religion, saying, "Not many Evangelicals come out of Cuba, just sayin'." But when Cruz says that "not many Conservatives come out of Manhattan, just sayin'," they take umbrage. They didn't care when Trump attacked McCain for being a POW. In fact, Trump apparently can insult in a most juvenile fashion anyone and get cheers from his supporters. A reporter with a physical handicap gets mocked and roars of laughter from the great newborn Patriot Trump. It's as if some of these folks thing being vile and rude, like a New Yorker, is a conservative value.

Well, it's factually correct that New York is not like most of the USA. New York City and a good part of the state are majority Liberal and they vote and they act like it. The Donald's comeback in the debate was William F. Buckley came out of Manhattan, which is not exactly where Buckley was from and was an example being able to name one person coming from there, if it were true, and proving Cruz's point. The faux outrage of the Trump supporters and even the New Yorkers is amazing. They really think New York has the same values as the rest of the USA?

All and all, Trump is a uniquely vulgar exhibitionist with bad hair and bad manners. He demeans the nomination process with his irrelevant attacks; he promises things he will likely fold on based on his own stated approach to deal making and his standard operating procedure of being cynical, opportunistic, and hypocritical. This churlish but bragging ultra-billionaire is as superficial as Obama, and as vain, too.
