Name one major newspaper in "flyover country" that would print that picture on their front page.
Because it is their liberal Mecca.
“He was referring to the values that let a candidate says he’s a pro-abortion Democrat one day and a pro-life Republican the next — the kind of values that would compel someone to use a national tragedy like 9-11 to score cheap political points.”
Because they can use it. Which tells you more about NY progressives than it does NY.
To a New Yorker (meaning a New York City resident) insulting NYC (and there are many ways to do this) is akin to a Catholic hearing the Pope (though, maybe not the current Commie Pope) insulted.
Video of Trump talking about New York values: http://www.dailywire.com/news/2651/heres-video-proof-trumps-cynical-phony-new-york-ben-shapiro#.VplLXGBy6RQ.twitter
Cruz never defined NY values, so you make it up in your own mind.
Because liberals are stupid and ignorant.
It makes no sense.
They should be saying damn right we don’t share Cruz’s values.
They make a cover of their newspaper that shows Lady Liberty flipping the bird. This after headlining how Prayers are worthless.
And anyone has to wonder what New York values are, vs heartland values.
Why do they feel so insulted that someone they despise says he has different values from them?
It is bizarre.
It’s typical liberal PC totalitarianism that 1) no one is supposed to have different values from them and 2) no one is supposed to point out that their liberal values are not universal.
Manhattan liberals having a breakdown because Ted Cruz doesn’t like their values. Poor babies.
Say the names of the present and previous NY mayor.
That says it all about NY values.
Not just liberals who are foaming at the moth.
Trumpsters also are upset. Not because Ted was correct; but because it verbally kicked Donald in the butt.
Go Ted!
I think Ted missed an opportunity. The 9/11 reaction was 100% AMERICAN, decidedly NOT the general New York response. Not to mention that the response was supervised by a GOP mayor AND governor—almost as rare in that city and state as a Bill Buckley.
..unfortunately free republic is becoming a site of NY values
I grew up in the Tri-State Area.
I came back as an adult, and worked in the Tri-State Area.
Later, I moved to Portland, Oregon and then New Orleans, Louisiana.
Compared to NYC, both of the other mentioned towns, are just plain **cked.
I remain in Louisiana, for one person.
I have never espoused the liberal mind meld, and am a Nativist, and will vote for Trump, the man that takes no money from donors.
1. Cruz was never going to win New York, either in the primaries or the general election. No Republican presidential candidate has carried New York since Reagan in 1984.
2. New York voters have elected and re-elected Andrew Cuomo as governor, Chuckie Schumer as Senator and Bill de Blasio as Mayor of NYC. New York values.
3. Insulting liberals that were never going to vote for you has never hurt Trump’s poll numbers and will not hurt Cruz.
The big thing that has come from this is that the GOPe and liberal media have made it clear that they support Trump over Cruz.
The GOPe are crazy and transparent.
For months they have been harping on how Trump is a fake conservative, holds liberal views, supported democrats and liberal social issues.
Endlessly.
Yet today, after Ted Cruz makes this very point in a nationally televised debate, they turn in to a lynch mob against Cruz.
That tells us something right there.
Name one major newspaper in "flyover country" that would print that picture on their front page.
Allen West said Cruz fell right into a "U-shaped ambush". I'm sure Teddy knows it all too well. Looks like Donnie has learned a thing or two about pro-level debating over the past several months. Or perhaps just having 25 years more experience in life than your opponent is helpful.
“Duck Dynasty values versus Bill de Blasio values. “
Nailed it.
I’m amazed at what non-New Yorkers think goes on in Manhattan. They really want to believe it’s an orgy in the streets seven days a week. All I see are hard-working people walking briskly on the sidewalks, catching a quick lunch and back to the desk. Maybe if those real good values tourists from the south and Midwest didn’t gape at the naked cowboy and stuff money in his shorts,he’d go home or find something else to do.
Cruz got the free press with this deal. If he would double down now and use the opportunity to explain EXACTLY what values make NYC one of the most liberal places in this country.... and repeat it for about 2 weeks.... he could make a ton of mileage out of this.
