Value this.
Ted Cruz got the Bronx cheer Wednesday from angry New Yorkers upset over the Republican presidential candidates 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 hes here today in New York and in the Bronx looking for money and votes, Diaz Jr. said.
We in the Bronx know how offensive hes been. We know the truth about our borough.

In NY we know talk is cheap.
So, do you think it's rational to continue to misrepresent Cruz's statement and his citizenship? Why of course you do because...........Cruz! it's impressive, Cruz lives in your head the same way Palin lives in the heads of liberals.
I don't get why he just doesn't admit it, and have some fun with it. "Well, I opened my big mouth, said something stupid, and now you're blasting me for it. Okay, I deserve it. It wouldn't be New York if the boo birds didn't come out and boo a dumb move."
Playing it straight won't do him any good. He should be using it as some humor to loosen things up. Guess he's not that kind of guy.
That could be tough, last time I was in the Bronx Arthur Street was half Albanian and everyone I talked to said Giuliani was the worst;
New York values defined (in the pre-LGBT days).
His mind is white.
White minds created this country. This guy sounds like a moron, probably an obamarroid.

This guy’s name is Edna. It might be just one of those NY values involved here.
>> His mind is white.
Said the apparently dark-minded, Edna...
Not happy with Cruz, but Edna’s abject complaint ain’t worth jack.
Edna aside, Cruz’s NY Values clarification was ridiculous, but he had the brass to visit the Bronx.
He could lessen the damage by owning it and having a little fun at his own expense. It could be charming, and let's face it, it's not like he has much to lose.
However, I also agree with you that he's not that kind of guy.
Why would Trump risk his advantage by having a debate with Cruz? Cruz was the debate champion at Harvard and is a lawyer, skilled at debating and twisting words. Trump is still leading by over 200 delegates and is ahead in every poll for the coming primaries. I mean he has nothing to gain by having a debate, it would just be a big bash Trump session and “gotcha” questions anyways.
Haha, that was a funny post, made me laugh at this late hour of the night...seriously, I’m not being sarcastic.
My values aren’t in line with either state.
Wisconsin is almost as liberal as New York. Wisconsin is HUGE GOPe establishment country. Reince Priebus & Paul Ryan are good examples.
Wisconsin is one of the first states that supported Socialism. They’ve even had a prominent Socialist Senator and Governor in Robert LaFollette. The University of Wisconsin is as Communist and subversive as Berkeley.
Interesting that when interviewed, the majority of Trump opposers hadn’t a clue why they opposed him. On the flip side, those opposing Cruz have no problem speaking about why....
Bernie is damaging Clinton; nice to watch...
The Bronx is a cesspool of Obama lovers, criminals and welfare queens.
Key here is when he first opened his mouth he said “we here in the bronx have been dealing with climate change for years now” now we know the agenda and who paid him! climate change in the bronx???????
Did Cruz pay this guy? He doesn’t get too many protesters because even street people know he’s no threat. Te one they fear is Trump.
I agree. A Canadian insulting New Yorkers is pathetic.
Calgary Ted was a NBC Canadian citizen until he renounced his Canadian citizenship in October of 2014. He was a Canadian citizen for 44 of his 45 1/2 years on earth. Calling Cruz a Canadian is not a stretch or a misrepresentation. I am not misrepresenting anything. His statement about New York values was stupid and will most likely come back to bite him in his Canadian hiney now.
Ya, he’s been winning states left and right the past week..
er wait..
1) Cruz is a US Citizen. deal with it
2) If New Yorkers had good values then referncing their values as “New York Values” wouldn’t be considered an insult.
Many New Yorkers I’ve known take pride in their “new York Values” and how bad they are.
