>> Ted, why didn't you just say "da Joos" and make it clearer? <<

New York Jews are mostly pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, hard -core socialists. So are New York Catholics, New York Protestants, New York agnostics, and New York atheists.

That's why didn't just say "da Joos".

Cruz’s attack against Trump is nationally divisive.

And in a non-Trumpian move, Trump didn’t counterpunch.

Instead, he defended his home town and home state with honor and class. All without crapping on the rest of the country.

The Trump supporters with hand in hand with the media , just like the media, all in lock step with Trump and the media with knee jerk reactions responded emotionally.

However ? they knew full well what Ted Cruz meant, and this will be the proverbial snow ball that falls right back upon then.

What they don’t know and realize is that they are being painted into a corner.

The rest of the country is watching them, the fly over country, the south is watching them.

“values in New York City are socially liberal or pro-abortion or pro- gay-marriage..”

Deblasio was just quoted in the hour news saying he’s now insulted that someone would say that, but was the proudest guy in the world when he wanted to make those values law.

Mr. Cruz was right. He specifically said NYC and listed the issues they revere. Pro-aborts, pro homosexual "marriage", gun control, media dominance.

Upstate is a completely different mindset when compared to Manhattan. Mr. Trump naturally acted out of a defensive bias when he tried to argue it wasn't so. Of course there are some conservative people but their numbers are dwarfed by liberal and ignorant viewpoints. It's why so many of us chafe at the yoke the city places on the rest of the state.

That being said, Ted can never put NY in play like Donald can.

Naw... most people still aren’t following the election, and for quite a chunk this is probably the first time they’ve registered Cruz’ name. Ted will extract votes from the NYers who agree with him... De Blasio won with only 25% turnout.

Ted and Don have plenty of time to make up.

The Trump supporter’s loyalty and “ Values “ on display here.

They are in tune with New York Liberalism, brutish behaviour, they are not in touch with fly over country where the REAL Americans live.

-— Listening to Mark Levin right now...he agrees.

And he says that Trump’s reference to 9-11 was cringeworthy.


It’s even worse, really, hiding behind the valor of the NYPD and NYFD, which is hardly representative of NY socialism.

>> I’m surprised more people aren’t expressing outrage that Trump is politicizing 9/11 for his own political gain. <<

Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani also pulled the "9/11" card whenever anyone questioned their record. I think I'm seeing a pattern.

Trump cleverly turned a question about NY values into a statement about American values...which Cruz doesn’t quite understand because apparently he’s from Canada.

“Trump won’t carry NY in the general election. In fact, I’ll guess he’ll get about 70 EV’s total.”

If purist Conservatives stay home, unless many blue collar Democrats come out for Trump, it is 2012 all over again. Aside from Cruz, there is no one that can go on a Trump ticket which will bring out the Conservatives.

Ted Cruz was just helping , The DON.

He was doing Donald Trump a YUUGIE favor by helping Donald Trump lock up the D.N.C. nomination by virtue of guarantee that New York state and New York City is for, The DON.

Cruz should be an expert in New York values, after all his wife worked for Goldman Sachs until she took a leave of absence to work on his campaign. Goldman Sachs is the epitome of New York values. The kind of values that result in a couple of low interest loans to the Mrs. and Senator Curz totaling around 1 million dollars from Goldman Sachs and Citibank. Source

That's New York values for you, where your employer loans you more than half a million dollars so you can get elected. Gee, I wonder why Goldman Sachs would do that?

Both Trump and Cruz have plenty of New York values in them. I'd rather see them devote their energy to examining Hillary Clinton's values, or Bernie Sanders' crazy ideas.

“they say that someone is “Texas” outside Texas, everybody knows what they mean”

What does this mean?

“Im surprised more people arent expressing outrage that Trump is politicizing 9/11 for his own political gain.”

It does not matter what Trump says or does, the Trumpcult love it. When he and his millionaire friends are running the government, the citizens will remember when they thought “their” billionaire would have them living large like he does. A billionaire gets his money from other people as that is where the money is.

In order to make the country “great” in Trumps dictionary means the government will be rich as he is rich, and that money will have to come from the people who have it now - the citizens.
