The Cruz for President campaign today announced a new TV ad, "New York Values", showing Donald Trump's assertion that New York "views" and "attitudes" are different than views and attitudes in Iowa. Trump explained New York Values in his own words and how they shaped his views on gay marriage and abortion. He then admits that if he were president he would not even ban partial-birth abortions.
The ad will run statewide in Iowa starting Jan 26th. "New York Values" TV: 30
Trump: I mean, hey I lived in New York City and Manhattan all my life, so my views are a little bit different than if I lived in Iowa.
Voiceover: They are different, like on Abortion.
Russert: Would President Trump ban partial birth abortion?
Trump: Look, I am pro-choice in every respect.
Voiceover: What does Trump think about Iowa?
Trump: How stupid are the people of Iowa?
Voiceover: Donald Trump, New York values, not ours.
Trump: My views are a little bit different than if I lived in Iowa.
Cruz: I'm Ted Cruz and I approve this message.
Because it worked so well the first time. Who is advising Ted? Somebody from Rick Perry’s campaign?
And Trump will respond with an adv of 9/11, firefighters, cops and heroes. Good Luck Ted!
trump is a northeastern “Republican” would not vote for him if he were the only candidate.
The brilliance of doubling-down on stupid!
The kiss of death was Beck getting into this and it would not surprise me if Beck is giving him advice after the awful week.
That ad saddens me in that Ted Cruz would approve an edited piece dirt like that.
LOL. I love it!!!!
When you are in a hole, stop digging
Oh and fire the Pastor who is giving him this advice
I still have not seen a trump supporter explain why abortion is ok.
I know Cruz supports nyc response on 911 but I’m pretty sure trump still supports abortion. Rights.
This is not about 9-ll, and how brave the people of New York are. It’s about social issues. Trump has liberal positions on all or almost social issues.
It doesn’t matter how an insult is meant, it matters how an insult is received.
Good add. Hopefully, conservatives in Iowa will see through Trumps shtick and not nominate one of the most liberal candidates that we have ever had run for the Republican nomination.
Is Cruz a masochist?
It doesn’t matter if a statement is racist, it matters if I think it is. Same thing.
Wow, I actually listened to the ad and heard Donald Trump clearly advocate positions opposite those he now proclaims. Cruz’s ad, but Trump’s voice.
Basically.
I know Cruz didn’t mean to direct his insult at 9/11 responders and victims and various other people involved.
But were those people included in group of people he aimed the insult at?
Yes.
Trump is a liberal Democrat who plays a conservative Republican on TV and at yuuge rallies. He’’s also a cult leader who has the members of his cult totally bamboozled.
The stupid. It’s laughable.
Using Trump’s own words in an ad is fair game. New York City is the abortion capital of the country. More black babies are aborted in New York than are born alive. New York spends more on Medicaid than California, Illinois, and Florida combined. New York City elected a communist mayor who went to Nicaragua in the 80s to support the sandinistas. New York has the most draconian anti-second amendment laws in the country. It is illegal to own a magazine for a semi-automatic pistol that can hold more than ten rounds. It is a sanctuary city/state. Crime is rising rapidly thanks to stop and frisk being ceased. The mentally ill are running around neighborhoods because the state has reduced the number of mental health facility hospital beds from 90,000 down to less than 3,000 in the past decade. The once-revered St. Patrick’s Day parade is now a farce where the lavender mafia has caused the Archdiocese of New York and the Ancient Order of Hibernians to cave and allow homosexuals to openly parade their “New York” values in front of the cathedral thus desecrating and making a mockery of Catholicism and St. Patrick. Those are “New York” values.
Stop the bs that saying this is insulting the first responders from September 11 because it is not.
Trump is no conservative. He is a marketing genius. He is the penultimate self-promoter. It has served him very well. While he gets kudos for talking about illegal immigration and the havoc that it is wreaking on our nation, and how serious the threat of terrorism is, he also wants to see federal ethanol subsidiaries continue which is nothing more than a kickback to big agriculture. I am against the government picking and choosing the winners.
