>>You have zero choice in the matter, even if you are Donald Trump.

Did he have a choice in having Roy Cohn as his mentor?

Seems a little disingenuous to claim to be an outsider with friends like that.

Of course, he could have picked from any of the mobsters of that day, that was just whom he decided upon. Perhaps he was the one with the most clout at that time. Is one mobster better than the other? Not really, it's just the reality of doing business in New York. You either play the game or the game is not open to you. Do you know how many cops also had relationships with mobsters in New York? Many of them were good cops as well. But they would at times work together to solve issues facing the community, off the books of course. Other times they bring down those very same mobsters. It was a working relationship, not a not a friendship of the sense you or I think of.

It has to do with those New York values Ted Cruz was eluding to.

The process through which a culture subverts and demoralizes itself is nothing new. The strategic objectives Yuri Bezmenov told us about exemplify what C.S. Lewis wrote about in his essay:

“The Poison of Subjectivism”:

Human nature has always been its own worst enemy.
