Horowitz: Cruz Schlongs Trump, Trump Schlongs Jeb
Conservative Review ^ | 1/15/16 | Daniel Horowitz

Posted on 01/15/2016 6:00:37 AM PST by libbylu

r the past 7 months, everyone has been saying that Donald Trump has finally met his demise, only to be proven spectacularly wrong. The reason they were wrong time and time again is simple: the other candidates and the moderators always attacked Trump from the left, particularly on immigration. Instead of hurting him, it always fueled Trump’s appeal. Americans are tired of being lectured to on the issue of immigration, and Trump was speaking to where most voters are at this point. - See more at: https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/01/cruz-schlongs-trump-trump-schlongs-jeb#sthash.WcmS9sW2.dpuf

“I thought Trumps defense of NY values was masterful. He made Cruz look like a jilted school boy.”

To juxtapose Wm. F. Buckley’s conservatism with Cruz’s vaporing and regional smears was quite damning and adroit. And guilt by association might not be the best weapon in the arsenal for Cruz, with Bush, Goldman Sachs, and North American Union clutter in the room.

NYC and LA are the left and right armpit of America, Cruz knows it and so do the primary voters.

Now Trump can spend the rest of race defending his “NYC values”, like queer marriage, abortion, lack of morals.

Good luck defending this a$$hole’ values!

I liked Cruz's line about "New York values" ...

No one on Planet Earth can honestly believe that Ted Cruz was dissing New York over 9/11 ...


Ted Cruz (like he clarified during the debate) said "New York Values" refers to gay marriage, banning large sodas, obsession with sex, drugs, money ...

That's what Ted Cruz meant ... anyone (including Donald Trump, who is great) who misconstrues Ted Cruz's point can "Go To Hell" ...


BTW ... Most Floridians who've traveled to Ft. Lauderdale KNOW EXACTLY what Ted Cruz was saying ...

Far too many MILLIONS of New Yorkers are arrogant, liberal jerks ...

"And that's a FACT that EVERYONE in AMERICA knows" ...

Plays well in Iowa.

Did not play very well on National TV.

Trump is going to have to NYC values, and Bill De Blasio runs that city.

I think Trump and Cruz are desperate to find things to disparage each other about because they are so similar, so they are frankly both being ridiculous in this.

NY has LOTS more folks than New York City (NYC).
Ever been to Horseheads? Tonawanda? Chautauqua? Saranac Lake? Watertown? Liberty? Copake Lake?
Thick skins, big hearts, and CCW’s
Cruz’s NY Values bit was aimed at NYC Liberals.

Conservatives get it. Conservatives understand it.
No harm, no foul.

He did fall flat with ZERO defense on his NBC issue, and the faulty screed of Trump’s parentage.
Mom naturalized in ‘42, was a Citizen when The Donald was born on US soil in ‘46. The Donald is NBC, Cruz and Rubio ain’t.

Who is more influential:

Your looney left mayor?

Or your Bushbot, psych case, Goldman Sachs, J. P. Morgan, North American Union, CFR fellow traveler bed mate?

You know, the one who sleeps next to you at night?

This is an example of why guilt by association attacks are stupid.

Cruz should’ve responded to Trump by pointing out that those firefighters do not represent the average New Yorker as well as de Blasio does.

The firefighters weren’t voted to their positions, de Blasio was.

So, by your logic, how do New York values differ from American values, given the twice over election of Obama?

Cruz’s regional smear reveals an inept tactician, as well as a political cynic.
