"Trump's play here is incredibly manipulative and nasty. Obviously, Cruz didn't mean to suggest that the behavior of New Yorkers on 9/11 was anything less than exemplary. Cruz insults DC values constantly, but nobody suggests that he's insulting the behavior of people from DC in their response to an attack on the Pentagon on 9/11. This is politically correct nonsense from The Donald. It isn't truth, it isn't brash, and it isn't honest."

I’ve got your New York values right here, pal with one word: Bloomberg.

Obviously, this does NOT include New Yorkers who have done real work...such as the police, firefighters, etc.

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?

Yeah, those “NY values” seem to include communist mayors, scumbag politicians like Schumer, Gillibrand, Dean Skelos, Sheldon Silver.
And let’s not forget the fines if you don’t refer to a tranny by its preferred sexual pronoun.
And sanctuary city NYC.
And the “S.A.F.E. Act”.

“Because He’s Right, And Even New Yorkers Know It.”

And that hole just keeps getting deeper.

What then are America values, when the world looks the United States, and the people who have voted for Obama not once, but twice?

On September 11, 2001, the New York First Responders displayed AMERICAN VALUES in how the responded to the ISLAMIC Attack. In the same manner on September 11, 2012 the Benghazi CIA “Contractors” displayed the same AMERICAN VALUES in how they responded to the ISLAMIC attack.

On September 11, 2012, former New York US Senator Hillary Clinton displayed NEW YORK VALUES in how she responded to the Benghazi attack and, in essense, said the Benghazi attackers were provoked by a movie and, ALONG WITH ALL THE OBAMA REGIME, refused to help the CIA “Contractors” in any way. Hillary and her Obama regime compadres compounded their disdain for AMERICAN VALUES by lying to the families of the Benghazi HEROES.

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

Cruz was just on the Hannity radio show, and I didn’t think it was possible for him to further astonish me with brilliant thinking and rhetoric, but he just flat out amazed me!

Hannity asked him about that exchange with Trump, and Cruz noted that media types in NY were calling on him to apologize, so he said he would oblige them. What followed was incredible. Cruz then apologized about seven times to the people of NY on behalf of their leaders for the disastrous policies they have inflicted on the state and people of New York. Among other things, he apologized to the police officers who felt compelled to turn their backs on their socialist mayor who threw them under the bus. He also apologized to thousands of black children, and their parents, who DeBlazio has thrown out of their charter schools which they loved.

Cruz is going to be on the Hannity TV show tonight, and I hope he will reprise this amazing litany of “apologies”, as they so brilliantly highlighted the “New York” values to which he was referring in the debate.

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

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

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.
