Bronx residents blast Ted Cruz over his ‘New York values’ insult and stance on immigration
NY Daily News ^ | 4/6/2016 | Chauncey Alcorn

Value this.

Ted Cruz got the Bronx cheer Wednesday from angry New Yorkers upset over the Republican presidential candidate’s callous “New York values” crack and his harsh stance on immigration.

Cruz was crucified during a stop in the Bronx, where residents and elected leaders derided him for insulting the city and the borough, only to come crawling back begging for money and votes.

“Just because he has a Hispanic last name does not mean he's Hispanic,” said hairstylist Edna Ferrer, 57, who was chastising Cruz supporters outside a campaign event in the Bronx. “His mind is white.”

Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. slammed Cruz as a hypocrite earlier — just hours before Cruz met with his father in the Bronx. Ruben Diaz Sr. represents the area in the state Senate.

“Ted Cruz is a hypocrite. He not only offended New Yorkers, he offended Bronxites, and now he’s here today in New York and in the Bronx looking for money and votes,” Diaz Jr. said.

“We in the Bronx know how offensive he’s been. We know the truth about our borough.”

C’mon. You knew this day was coming.

Ted made that crack when he thought he’d sweep the south and the race would be over by New York.

Turned out to be a bad gamble. He’s going to have that shoved in his face for the next two weeks.

It’s kinda like Trump had to fight talk radio for two weeks in Wisconsin. Tables have turned.

You saw Trump on the debate stage 11 times.

What more is there to see?

Now that it matters?

a real debate between the 2 with a chance would be nice.

I’ll agree there was to many debates when there was 2 many candidates..

But now. when it matters, trump runs away like a little girl and says “no more debates, I’ve done enough”

I've been almost everywhere, man.

New York? NY State, sure. NYC? Nah, I've always avoided the "city" because I have known too many New Yorkians.

Mister trump, I'm sure, fits right in with New Yorkian alleged values.

“Cruz was crucified during a stop in the Bronx”

Did he run into a Roman legion ?

Do you really want to see Ted pwned again?

It is a funny headline, no one is endorsing the paper.

Oh stop with the schoolyard taunts. Trump beat him 10 times. After NY, Cruz will be mathematically eliminated. Why debate a loser? It’s like playing a 7th game of the World Series when you already won the series in 6.

It would be funny to see since Cruz has now taken all of Trumps positions, including ‘fair trade’.

False

Cruz is not a POS.

work on your potty mouth and come up with arguments rather than vicious slander.

Let’s see Cruz run a company, make a profit, negotiate a good deal. All skills needed in the WH. Talk is cheap.

Read the article Waldo and my comment, it’s all right there for you to see if you have the intelligence to comprehend. You are one of the most pathetic Cruz trolls on this board and waste hours and bandwith with you daily diatribes against Trump. As for my comment that Cruz is a POS, that is my opinion and logical conclusion based on the hyprocrisy and filth that surrounds Ted. Unfortunately, you and your merry band of the same 5 Cruz trolls that pollute the board all day can’t or won’t realize that your guy is a fraud and a tool of the establishment. But whatever works for you.

A real debate? Like Cruz taking a debate question on Cuba and turning it into a random smear of Trump’s character? That kind of debate? Really? That’s we need more of? Sadly, Ted Cruz is not interested at all in a debate on the issues. He uses debates to dump his talking point slime buckets on Trump. No thanks. We’ve already got enough of that.

Cruz is not a fraud.

Trump is however.

How long has trump been conservative .... Five minutes ?

I don’t think he could make it that long.
