Everyone knows what values he meant, Cruz says. We sure do. Cruz meant freedom, respect, diversity and striving. But he disdains those values when it means gays are free, women are respected, and immigrants strive. Unfortunately for Cruz, those all-inclusive values help build prosperity — and win national elections.

What a bunch of horse crap.

Cruz did make a big mistake with the "New York Values" comment.

Not because he was insulting New Yorkers, everyone, including Trump, knows he wasn't.

It was a mistake because it is too easily twisted into a dishonest, pandering, politically correct club with which to beat Cruz. That's what this article does, and that's what Trump did at the debate and continues to do.

For a guy who "isn't a politician", Trump certainly took the dishonest, pandering, politically correct football and ran; waving the flag, wagging his finger, and pretending that Cruz was somehow attacking 9/11 first responders with his "New York Values" statement.

Yep, bad move, Cruz.

Except the other 49 states couldn’t give a damn, and Cruz was never going to win NY. It was Trump’s from day 1. This is about a 1 on a scale of 10. Maybe a 1 on the scale of a 100. If this is his biggest unforced error, he’s doing pretty good.

Trump epitomizes everything bad that people say and think about politicians. No. Actually, he is much, much worse. An arrogant, narcissistic, ultra-ambitious, power-mad and dishonest, greedy sore-loser. And those are his good points.
