Ted Cruz: undocumented Canadian candidate? Andrew Cuomo didn't quite go quite that far, but the New York governor surely took a birther shot at Cruz during his appearance on today's Morning Joe.

Invited on to comment on Cruz's claim that Donald Trump represents "New York values," New York Governor Cuomo said: "You think the sign says only people from Canada that happen to come from Spanish-Irish descent? We said everyone is welcome."

Yeah, right Como, we are sooooooo different from Canada. The heritage of our original settlers is soooooooo different from Canada. We just can't relate to those nasty Canadians! Snort////////s/////

[Tzfat]

Hey Cuomo, we don’t think New York should even be a part of America. Go back to the cesspool.

[Lockbox]

and yet Andrew you managed to demonstrate NY Values with your reply!

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo: Pro-life people not welcome in New York

[elhombrelibre]

Well, I'm sure Trump does agree with the Libs. It seems pertinent to our vetting of these candidates. I've often said Trump is first and foremost an opportunist without any core values. I think that's the best description.

Here is a good quote that shows how Trump sucker punches, by the way, and just sayin'.

"Not a lot of conservatives come out of Manhattan,” an apparent reference to Trump telling crowds that "not too many evangelicals come out of Cuba.”

Cruz knew exactly what he was saying and knew how the opposition would react.

Michael Bloomberg is another NY republican who is running around the company spending money in an attempt to destroy pro 2nd amendment conservatives.

"The Libs are in synch with Donald Trump, their man"

Yeah, like that is going to change a vote.

However, there are now enough people questioning Cruz NBC that he cannot win the GOP primary.

And his money is going to dry up.

...just because Trump agrees with some liberals on some issue does not make him liberal.

Of course not. It's Trumps liberal policies that make him a liberal.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo: Pro-life people not welcome in New York

I'm sure there were some good pro life people who died in 9/11!

(Using Trump's 9/11 red herring)

[DiogenesLamp]

Nope, Cruz was just dumb to attack an entire state.

People will see it as attacking the state, when in fact I think he meant "New York City". Outside of New York City, the people of New York have the same moral values as does the rest of the nation.

TRUMP/CUOMO 2016!

[Qwackertoo]

And on 9/11 New York had Pataki and NYC had Giuliani.

Now they have Cuomo and Bill De Blasio.

Big Difference.

And befor De Blasio they had Nanny Bloomberg.

And Trump said himself when making excuses for his changing views on issues “Hey I’m from New York”. Straight from the Horses Mouth.

Of course there are differences in values from state to state. That is why we have Blue States and Red States.

Too Bad Cruz “gifted” them with this ammunition the Media will happily play on an endless loop.

[elhombrelibre]

The Libs want to run against Trump. Gallup’s polls show what is probably an unprecedented likability rating for him.

[Garvin]

MSM: TORA, TORA, TORA!

[CatherineofAragon]

Cruz didn’t attack a state; he made clear he was talking about NYC. But you run with that lie if you have to.

What’s hilarious this morning is all of the leftist sources and individuals Trumpsters are championing to try and take down Cruz.

You guys have finally gone full-on, open-throated, don’t-give-a-damn liberal.

[CatherineofAragon]

Like Cruz said a while back-—strap on the armor of God because the attacks are just beginning.

Oh, wait, the Trump fans mocked that, too...one of them even used it to make a dirty joke.

[patq]

Cuomo is a moron, but Ted blew it big time with his NY comments. Now this issue will take up a week of news time.

[Jane Long]

It’s definitely a twofer, for Ted....shows his hypocrisy - slams NY, yet takes BIG NY donor $$....and fuels the birthed issue.

Not a good night for The Ted.

No doubt correct, but not at all helpful for Cruz since I'll bet almost all missed that connection....and, if you have to explain a 'joke' then it isn't funny.
