LOL so true..now not everyone in New York is a liberal, just like not everyone here in California is liberal..Im stuck here, lived here in LA my entire life, family is here, Ive gotten used to being around the liberal loons and seeing Planned Parenthood baby butchers outside of Trader Joes and “Ready For Hillary” bumper stickers on cars..its nauseating but you get used to it
DANG! I just love this guy. LOL!
I believe Cruz’s wife works for Goldman Sachs-— just saying..
Continued n00b choices by Cruz.
He could have put this to bed and moved ahead from the beginning.
At this point, he all he has is internet videos, altering famous quotes and insulting voting blocks.
I feel for him. He’s a solid conservative and reputedly smart, but it isn’t evident in his communication.
Plus the whole Goldman Sachs thing.
At this point, I’d guess Rubio has a better chance than Cruz.
When shooting oneself in the foot, its unwise to reload and shoot yourself in the other foot. Especially within the space of 48 hours.
Apparently Senator Cruz is running to be President of the portion of the population that completely agrees with him, and the rest of the populstion be damned. We’ve had eight years of that, and I think a lot of folks are getting really tired of it. Including myself.
Wow....when I heard that Ted had apologized to the people of New York I was really upset... NEVER APOLOGIZE..!! But now, after watching it, I can say that he absolutely hit the ball out of the park..!!
Thanks Ted.....you made my day..!!
In a way he is right, but he did it so ham fisted .
* I have friends in the Rochester Area.
* Listen to local radio their over the net, you think you were in a gangland area, hmmm where did that crime come from.
* Then, to top it off, how many kids Upstate out of high school vamonous because their is no opportunity, ask a High School teacher their, they will tell you.
* Then their is Price Albert's and Albany's Gun Laws.
* Then their is No Fracking south of Rochester on the North end of Marcellus, but in PA they are, and Up-State continues to starve.
Ya I get what Ted meant, but I have friends their to get what a mess NY is because of the progressivism that drove El-Rushbo out and many other millionaires and anyone who was culturally conservative and or productive.
Sadly, Ted may have bit off more than he can chew on this one. He is not going to change Down-State, or Albany's politically liberal centricity with one Statement. It may never change in our lifetime sadly.
Never thought I’d see so many supposedly conservative FReepers in love with NYC values! Donald Trump acts like the stereotypical NYer - thin-skinned, obnoxious, lashing out at anyone who doesn’t kiss his pampered rear.
The stereotypical NYer - and I’ve met far too many - dumps on the rest of America 24/7/365, then wonders why the rest of America doesn’t give a rat’s rear - rat’s rear being a very good description of NYC - about them!
liberal politicians who were voted into office by.....
Maybe Ted and Donald scripted this fight to get NY to back Trump? Ted couldn’t win NY anyway, but if he was helping NY lean Trump, then that would really be a nice EV pick up.....
Excellent response...and should be the only one he makes! WE all knew what he meant!
Just jiving here:
Do you know that New York City is run by a communist mayor (and his red/afro family). The City Council is led by a Marxist and is full of other radicals who got elected by help from or threats from the quiet but spreading Marxist “Working Families Party” (WFP), part of the old ACORN/Democratic Alliance and the Weathermen/SDS remnants who moved to New York?
The governor of New York (not the former one who is in jail or was), will probably be indicted if the Republicans win the presidency, for political corruption while at HUD.
He just lost his top crook, er NY State Assembly leader Nathan? Silver, who is going to jail for life for political corruption. If the scandal spreads, it will bring down a good part of the NY Democrat Party and even some Republican crooks.
NY’s former Senator was Hillary Clinton, who has a Communist Party USA and members legacy trail from the 1969’s, as well as being a key friend of a major Castro asset in the U.S.
The New York city congressional districts are largely represented by hardcore leftists (See; “The Enemies Within: Communists, Marxists and Socialists/Progressives in the US Congress”, 2015, Trevor Loudon, www.pacificfreedomfoundation.com for documentation and photos.
Crime is rising in NYC despite what some leftist posters elsewhere are claiming.
One well-placed source says that DeBlasio is renting out his Park Slope brownstone townhouse for a reported $4,000-6,000 a month while he craps up Gracie Mansion.
I have no objection to him renting out his place (assuming the story is true), but that’s a lot of money for a Marxist champion of the poor to get.
If he was a legit red, he’d let Syrian refugees and their goats live in his townhouse for free.
Any state/city that has Chuck Schumer, Lydia something or other, Gillibrand, Clinton, Nadler, and the late Soviet asset Bella Abzug as their congressional representatives says a lot about their political insanity.
I think Ted Cruz was on to something.
I don’t care if New York City and State have 49% great patriotic, God fearing citizens, they got beaten in the elections by the other 51% of commies, crooks, illegals, racists, ethnocentrics, and lowlifes.
The winners make the rules and right now the Marxists and Crooks are in charge. Cruz had it right. The Big Apple is a Rotten One.
PS: Many of the Police and Firemen who worked at (and died at the World Trade Center towers disaster) of Sept. 11, 2001, could not afford to live in Manhattan. They lived in Sandy Hook and other surrounding areas (until the hurricane and fires wiped out blocks of Sandy Hook a number of years ago).
I’ll bet a lot that DeBlasio’s supporters from the lower economic classes (rent controlled coops and ghettoes) could not afford to live in Manhattan, only they think that is just a natural state of affairs.
As George Orwell wrote in “Animal House”, “All pigs are created equally, but some pigs (i.e. communists/crooks) are created more equally”. (slightly paraphrased).
Sigh. Cruz just keeps digging the hole deeper and deeper.
Amazing how PC Trust Fund Donnie has suddenly become.
Cruz played this one brilliantly. Now Trump’s Manhattan buddies are all coming in on his behalf, which which only further driving Cruz’s point home.
As far as most of America - snd certainly most of Iowa - is concerned Manhattan could fall off the face of the earth. Cruz knows this and is playing to it brilliantly.
Hank
What next Ny’ers moms wear army boots? He is killing himself and he doesn’t even see it.
>> “I apologize to the millions of New Yorkers who have been let down by liberal politicians,”
Works for me. And not that it was necessary.

Play it out, Cruz.
There fixed it.
