You are a cynical, judgmental beotch who thinks she walks on water. Jesus despised Pharisees such as yourself, and so do I. You listen to Levin - he sure spews some words too, but, that’s okay with you because he supports your St. Cruz who can do no wrong. I wasn’t talking to you, Mrs. Cravettes, so don’t ever answer a post to me again - it will be ignored because you are an arrogant, misguided, pompus jerk, just like your candidate.

There seem to be a lot of these hysterical, venomous, insult-filled, profanity-laced rants going around among Trump supporters these days. I support them. In fact, I encourage you to keep it up, because lurkers are watching.

Again, Trump is a very good fit for you. Maybe tomorrow another conservative figure will be less than sufficiently fawning toward Trump and you'll have someone else to throw under the bus.

But it's not a cult.

After the debate I listened to Megan Kelly and several of Fox’s contributors - almost all New Hawkers - crow about Trump’s “smackdown” of Cruz concerning his New York values comment. All seemed positively giddy about Trump’s defense of their precious New York. I also note that the debate moderators Bartaromo and Cavuto are New Yorkers.

Someday New Yorkers may realize that most of us hayseeds out in flyover country just aren’t that into New Yorkers, finding most of them to be rude, obnoxious, loud, shifty pricks. I doubt it though. I remember when we all bled with them on 9-11, and our representatives in Washington promptly appropriated tens of billion for New York’s recovery, only to have Schumer and the rest of the NY congressional delegation demand that the amount be doubled. Absolutely typical New York values.

He’s potentially the greatest scammer in our history. Makes Madoff look like he was running a lemonade stand.

We gotta thank the lunatics at the Daily News for proving Ted Cruz right.

-—But everyone understands that the values in New York City ... focus around money and the media

Ted, why didn’t you just say “da Joos” and make it clearer?-—

All of Trump’s children married into Jewish families. Yes, I think Cruz will play on that if needed in South Carolina.

Mrs. Cruz was working in the Houston office of Goldman Sachs, not New York.

Do you honestly think that the values and culture of Goldman Sachs are any different between New York and Houston? And by the way, there is plenty of interaction between offices.

I'm well aware of all of that. Do you seriously believe that people at Goldman Sachs aren't very supportive of Sen. Cruz and his wife? Do you think they'd give an ordinary member of the support staff a leave of absence to work on a campaign?

Sen. Cruz is a great candidate, but he's got plenty of ties to New York elites too. He's just clever enough to try to use that issue to attack his opponent. But he may have been a bit too clever. Lots of people carry negative stereotypes about people from various areas of the country. By making that tactic legitimate he'll have to face it in the general election if he is the Republican nominee. And then he'll be the one on the defensive and the New York centered media will be hammering away.

She advised investors in Houston and good for her she could do that - people who live in Houston need advice about their money just as New Yorkers do. Plus, she lives in Texas with Texas values as her lifestyle, going to church and raising her children as Christians. She does not have New York liberal values.

Politicizing it? It may touch an uncomfortable nerve, but the issues of it, the potential for it to occur again, and recognition of what people had to go though because of it needs not be forgotten (ala the Darryl Worley song...).

It seems we would like to selectively forget things for 'convenience'.

She may not, just like many people who actually live in New York. But she has the New York elite mindset and values when it comes to business, finance, taxes, the role of government regulation and a whole lot of other things much more important to our nation than the social issues or religious orientation you allude to.

I hope you realize that there are plenty of Christians in New York, and they go to church too.

The whole idea of trying to stereotype sections of our country based on some supposed values based on location is amusing in a primary, but really pretty silly.

Because don't Texas values include a lot of the negative things you are busy trying to pin on New Yorkers? What about those Banditos out in Waco? I presume they have "Texas values" too, or don't they? Or how about all of the recent immigrants from Mexico. Do they also have "Texas values"?

Trying to argue that Mrs. and Senator Cruz have a worldview radically different from the elite lawyers and financiers of Wall Street is ridiculous. They and everyone else in that group differ in how they individually feel on certain issues. But I am sure that the Cruz's have more in common in terms of contacts, finances, worldview,etc with Donald Trump than they do with the typical working guy in New York or Houston.

I heard it and it was brilliant. I think it laid to rest much of the controversy surrounding his remarks about New York values.

I heard Trump when he said people in Iowa were stupid and wondered what planet he was from to tell Iowans they were stupid.

Trump words are fourth grade words as evaluated by speech specialists and one of his best go to words is, “stupid”. “He is stupid, she is stupid, they are stupid, it is stupid, that country is stupid, what stupid idiot did that, etc., etc.

I do not want a fourth grade word user President. I do not want him to call our citizens stupid or call other countries stupid. He also has a foul mouth. When he did not like how his microphone was working, he asked in front of the audience, what son of a bitch did that - do not pay the bastard. That is the man who may be president - God help us.
