Whatever, to me it is a silly campaign tactic to push poll voters to determine how to slam an opponent. That method tells us more about what “Ted Cruz Values” are, than about New York values, other than what campaign tactic Ted used to attack an opponent, a silly guilt by association tactic.
And Ted is not running against New York, but against Trump and Trump’s stance on issues.
Being as I live in NY, the number of people expressing fake outrage without taking a critical look at the “why” of it is amusing.
I don’t feel personally insulted.
Rather, it is similar to saying “Chicago politics”,
“ Detroit living”, and “San Francisco values”.
