Ted Cruz has taken more heat for his comments about “New York values†than he has anything else he has said since he was elected in 2012. Naturally, since most of the mainstream media is based out of New York, it has been high horse riding time as so many have gotten their panties in a wad over the comments. Ironically, they take more offense at what Cruz said than in Donald Trump’s blatant birtherism. Being a birther is cool now that it’s not Barack Obama who is the subject of Trump’s comments.
Unfortunately for Trump, who deftly (but at the same time shamelessly) evoked 9/11 as a means of responding to Ted Cruz’s comments, he cannot escape the very things he has said over the course of the last 15 years. Trump, as I have said on prior occasions is a charlatan. He is not a conservative at all. He is not now and never has been one. Outside of immigration (which is far more based on phony populism than policy), his views on taxes, healthcare, foreign policy and trade carry all the hallmarks of a progressive Democrat.

REDSTATE? ya gotta be kiddin’ me. Redstate is just another gray lady.
And all conservatives do understand Teds point on NY values. If trump would have stayed a democrat, he might have won the presidency.
I’m Hillary Clinton, and I approve of this message.
It really is sad, posting the same thing over and over hoping it will stick. Cruz dug himself a NY size hole and his supporters have to work overtime to dig him out.
I’m just think people are getting desperate when they go back 20 years to dig up something. At least they should use some material from the last few years (like Goldman Sachs loans, or TPP votes, or massive H1B visa increases). Reagan was a democrat at some point as well.
Trump also hates the system but he gets as many democrats elected as he can to create the system which he hates.
The big difference between Trump and Cruz is on that video Trump is describing himself and his views. He isn’t attacking someone else and accusing them in a derogatory way of having NY values. It is a total red herring and the supposedly smart Cruz supporters are showing their inability to think, discern and evaluate for themselves.

You cannot handle the truth. You have been played by the great salesman selling himself.
Ted is not desperate. It is game on. Why did you think Ted was in this race? He is telling the truth.
Ted fights with facts.
DT fights with lies, intimidation, name calling and innuendo.
Voters already know all that about trump. A lot of it is outdated. It won’t make any difference.
Lots of “Cruz Criminals in America. I know several that took envelopes stuffed with cash to buy houses.
One even took an envelope stuffed with cash fro a bank in plain view of the public to a car dealer and bribed them with it! AND THEY GOT A CAR!!!!!!
Trump is a progressive democrat, he should have stayed in that party and hammered Hillery for that nomination.
Progressive yes, so are a lot of Freepers it seem. Do disrespect intended
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/celebrity/donald-trump-empathy-gap-754693 Trump didn’t donate to the 9/11 charities. He didn’t put his money where his mouth is ..so much for NY Values
oh that would be MEAN
St Donald would never Lie to us!!
Whats wrong is they are fanatics. And liberals. They vote for lesser evil and get more in the bargain.
Trump is NOT pro-choice. He is pro-life and has talked about the experience that turned him pro-life.
Update your database.
Yup.
If you’re going to insult Ted, at least be sure to spell it correctly. You meant Lose. As in the opposite of win. You spelled Loose. As in the opposite of tight.
Thanks! We shouldn’t hear any more about Trump being pro-choice.
