LOL! Yeah right...

If Cruz did anything that night... He ensured that he will never win the State of New York in a general election.

Trump on the other hand will.

No. Rubio was born in America to legal residents of the USA. No problem calling him a natural born citizen.

And he won't be making a 'golly, Donald, why can't you be nicer?' case against Trump, but a hard-hitting conservative one (and while a divided and feckless establishment, such as it is, watches from the sidelines). If there was any tactical error here it was on the part of Donald Trump. It has been pretty clear for a long time that Cruz had great potential in Iowa, but back when Trump could have dropped a bomb on Cruz before he took off, the mogul was either taken in by Cruz's submissiveness, or willing to play along with the terms of their faux friendship.

And you're right. Cruz is playing Trump like a fiddle with regard to New York values.

Everyone knows what NYC/Manhattan values are, except Trump, supposedly.

Trump won't deny it, so Cruz can talk about Trump's New York values as much as he wants. Trump owns NYC values.

It speaks volumes of people who would make fun of and humiliate those who are weak, defenseless, handicapped.

He's the billionaire you can trust. He's the billionaire for the little guy.

9. In demolishing the Bonwit Teller building to make way for Trump Tower, you had no labor troubles, even though only about 15 unionists worked at the site alongside 150 Polish men, most of whom entered the country illegally, lacked hard hats, and slept on the site.

How did you manage to avoid labor troubles, like picketing and strikes, and job safety inspections while using mostly non-union labor at a union worksite — without hard hats for the Polish workers?

10. A federal judge later found you conspired to cheat both the Polish workers, who were paid less than $5 an hour cash with no benefits, and the union health and welfare fund. You testified that you did not notice the Polish workers, whom the judge noted were easy to spot because they were the only ones on the work site without hard hats.

What should voters make of your failure or inability to notice 150 men demolishing a multi-story building without hard hats?

From 21 Questions for Donald Trump

I used to think "A Face in the Crowd" was just a movie. Trump is Lonesome Rhodes.

Yes. The “likes of Rich Lowry” and his ilk are so damn jealous of Trump they can’t stand it. They’d support Satan before Trump. And, if it comes to a Trump-Clinton vote, they will support Satan Clinton, I expect. Jealousy is a powerful thing.

Actually, a caller to Rush one day said her grandchild saw his picture and thought he looked like Curious George...complete with big ears!

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

What Ted Cruz said about “ New York Values “ should also be put in context then....

Ted Cruz was not talking about decent everyday law abiding people from New York.

I correct my statement, I retract my last statement , it was not a man in a wheel chair that Trump mocked and made fun of, but it was a man with problems with his arms.

Nonetheless, nevertheless, Trump was still making fun of and mocking a handicapped person.

You need to add another layer to your tin-foil hat.

Exactly. I thought the entire issue was another example of fuzzy logic. When they have fuzz up the difference between illegal and legal border crossers in order to paint you as racist they are using fuzzy logic.

On the contrary, you were called on it and have to figure out a way to save face.

You knew exactly what I meant, they also made fun of Sarah Palin’s son back in 2008.
