While I like both of these candidates and will vote for the eventual winner of the two, I sense that Sen. Cruz made a tactical error in his assessment of NY values. The topic has no intrinsic value electorally and actually is divisive...

A perfectly valid way of framing the election is over values. Trump has had most of his life the most liberal NY values. Cruz values smaller government, Trump loves big government solutions, Cruz values morality, Trump supports the gay mafia and is colleagues of the NY mafia. Trump is ok with graft and pay-to-play corruption, Cruz finds it distasteful. These are big differences and in an election the differences need to be highlighted. If you find it divisive that conservatives do not want to unite with liberalism than you and I share a different vision for liberty.

Thank you for your concise informative response. The difference I see between these two candidates is style. Cruz is a politician, Trump is a businessman. We have seen the gamut of the former in the WH and I am convinced that they are not so accomplished. I sense we need a businessman who can negotiate a better deal. Cruz is beholding to other politicians and investors, Trump is not.

You have assigned gays and the mafia to the Trump campaign. Seem to have heard that Cruz actually met with gay supporters for a cash infusion. Please annotate your documentation for your highlights against the Trump campaign. Thank you.
