Mike Lupica, the author of that piece is a New York lib (look at his other pieces) and that's what Ted was talking about. Ted was specifically talking about socially liberal values like being pro abortion, pro homosexual marriage, anti guns..etc and Trump turned that into an issue of people coming together after 9/11. A clever deflection. You can be socially liberal and still 'come together' after a tragic event.

Everyone knows what Cruz meant but the hive mind has more fun when it’s being deliberately obtuse.

Lupica is a New York liberal, yet Trump will like this because he always attacks conservatives from the Left. Why? One, he doesn’t really know conservative values, and he certainly would never apply them to himself. Two, all values for Trump are situational. If being a liberal won’t get him to be president, why not pretend you’re a conservative? Three, having no core values, Trump sees no irony in him spouting Liberal talking points as if they should come out a Republican mouth. In fact, Trump is not really one of us. He doesn’t even play one of us on TV. There he plays himself as a lout.
