Ted Cruz Wins Prominent NYC Straw Poll, AFTER Insulting NY Values
The Insurgent ^ | 1/16/2016 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 01/16/2016 12:54:47 PM PST by conservativejoy

This is hilarious. The Metropolitan Republican Club has been around since 1902. It's a pretty big deal up there, with virtually very Republican Presidential nominee since 1930 using the club's offices as its NYC headquarters.

The Club held its straw poll, which was conducted after Ted Cruz's statements about New York values. The results? Ted Cruz came in first place, beating Donald Trump.

He likely won because the members there like the fact that Ted Cruz espouses AMERICAN VALUES..AND ALWAYS HAS.

more proof that thinking conservatives in NY, real conservatives, understand exactly what TC meant and are not butt hurt insecure pansies.

And more evidence that many of the lo infos around here do not.

Gone Galt - but supporting Trump?

That’s like totally incoherent......bizarre. You either don’t understand Galt or you don’t understand Trump - or you don’t understand either.

It seems NYC conservatives are smarter than FR Trumpbots. The seem to know that New York values are not the same thing as 911 first responders.

Yep. We can only hope Trump is done and that Cruz gets the nomination. Thanks for the cute cat picture to put it in context.

When I was a Young Republican in NYC, that group was pretty moderate Republican. Sort of Rockefeller types although I don’t remember their position on abortion.

No....Ed Cox ( Nixon's s-i-l ) runs the NYC GOP contingent and if you imagine, for one moment, that he is "CONSERVATIVE", you're out of your mind !

Ed is a wishy washy GOPer at best.

It’s not a kick. Real men own their statements and stand by them. Wussies, or wissies, do not.

You gonna post normal stuff, no insults, no snark? Go ahead with a screen name. But you’re gonna jump ugly? Man up, or you don’t exist.

It’s not a kick. it’s called reality.
