I’ve lived in New York City all of my 50+ years. I can’t believe that anyone here seriously believes, as Trump shamelessly implied, that Cruz was referring to the heroes of 911, or for that matter, the comparatively few conservatives living here.
NYers know the real NY. Trump is playing the 9/11 card as a fail safe yet those same heroes are now detested in NYC as brown shirts. They have zero to do with anything Cruz was talking about.
We know Cruz was talking about liberal values, which NY holds in spades from Albany down to NYC. The same values Trump identified with no too long ago.
Bill De Blassio is the “NYC values” Cruz was talking about.
