This is what Ted Cruz, who wasn't just born out of town but out of the country, said about Donald Trump the other day:
"Well, look, he may shift in his new rallies to play 'New York, New York' because Donald comes from New York and he embodies New York values.'"
In that moment, of course, up in lights as bright as the ones in Times Square and as loud as traffic in the city, Cruz shows you how far out of his depth he is running for President of the United States.
Cruz really must think he can get the nomination of his party by simply working the slower-thinking precincts, sharing a worldview you could fit inside a shot glass. But people ought to remember what he said about New York the next time he comes here with his hand out, another politician joining the ranks of the city's panhandlers.
If you are dumb enough to act as if New York values are some sort of handicap in this presidential season, then you are as dumb and tone deaf as Jesse Jackson was calling the city "Hymietown" once, as dumb as Gerald Ford was when he gave this paper the most famous front page in its history, the day he effectively told New York to drop dead.
The next time Cruz shows up here and treats the city like an ATM machine, he should make a side trip to the Bronx and explain himself there on New York values; or to the Lower East Side, or Williamsburg, Brooklyn, or Jamaica, Queens, or 125th St. He should go talk to people in the Rockaways or Staten Island, the tough clubfighters of Hurricane Sandy, about New York values.

On 9/11 American values were displayed, not New York.

Ouch.
Everyone knows what Cruz meant.
FABULOUS town.
They also have TONS of churches too, which also speaks to their values.
9/11 responders booed Hillary Clinton at the concert for NYC (Viacom and Sony later overdubbed cheering over the boos for rebroadcast and DVD release).
Why are they holding their tongues these days as Hillary aims to head back to the White House for another 8 years as co-president?
Maybe don’t elect all liberals all the time, NYC.
NYC values: squeegee men, park gropers, parking nightmares, taxes taxes taxes, governmental corruption, graffiti, soft drink naxis, and that unique stench permeating the city.
That was a response. Values are something else and I’m not interested in those NY values either.
-— This kinda like saying ‘anyone who criticizes San Francisco Bay Area values ought to talk to Pat Tillman’. -—
LOL
What idiot would believe that such remarks were aimed at anybody but DeBlasio? You have to attack communists wherever they are.
City, not state. Does New York City have more liberals than conservatives in their government? In their population?
Did 9/11 happen in Iowa? Or was it Nebraska? Were the first responders from Alaska?
Values that elected the likes of Bill DiBlasio.
Exactly.
And Dinkins.
Yeah. He meant to keep Iowa caucus voters in line in spite of the Goldman Sachs loans being revealed, not gauging the negative overall impact it would have.
Again, Ted Cruz proved to be so smart that he outsmarted himself.
The Lower East Side, Williamsburg and even 125th street have all become gentrified.
Does Lupica get out much?
There’re other threads for that non issue.
New York has its problems. But there is no graffiti, no “stench,” and no squeegees. You need to stop thinking you’re in a Cassavettes movie circa 1971.
Mayor Billy Boy Di Blah Blah Blahsio,,,,reflects SOME “degree”.. of New York Values
they valued em enough....to ELECT the SOB!!
