I worked on Wall Street, just blocks from the WTC, knew people who died their and their parents. I am shocked a thoughful guy like Cruz showed such regional prejudice.

I have lived in five states from the northeast south, southwest and west, and everyone I met I have treated as a fellow American. Yeah they heard my northeast accent and mostly we treated eachother as fellow Americans. Too bad Ted. When I lived in Texas I was a Texan, and I would punch or choke out anyone who Messed With Texas. Sorry Ted you don’t feel we all bleed Red White and Blue.

I worked for Rudy Guiliani’s mayoral campaigns even though he is way more liberal than me. Rudy was a great leader, and Mayor.

Nothing wrong with Rudy’s New York ways, he took a city that suffered the loss of thousands of folks, injuries to first responders and over $100 billion in property and business losses just the first year alone.

I watched with heartache the endless funerals, the endless digging for human remains. We all bleed Red White and Blue. My Father and Uncle’s who served like me in the Navy and Army, saved America lives and won WWII for all Americans. And on the day they died they were buried with an American Flag, with honor guards not with a New York Flag.

Funny thing My wife Is a big Cruz Supporter, sent him several contributions. I had hoped he and Trump could be cordial and we would see an Trump/ Cruz ticket, or maybe Trump would appoint him a Supreme court justice.

this remark doesn’t make sense given his wife worked for Goldman Sachs, you don’t get any more New York than that do you. I am sure she isn’t happy about how this remark reflects on her.

You know sometimes you say something you wish you could take back? This is one of those events.

Water under the bridge now, but Rudy would have made a great President just as he was a great Mayor. I vehemently disagreed with him on some things, but I have always said he would have been a big success.
