Krauthammer: Cruz 'speechless, dumbstruck' following 'New York values' row with Trump
Fox News ^ | 1/15/2016

Posted on 01/16/2016 4:02:08 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Charles Krauthammer told viewers Friday on "Special Report with Bret Baier" that Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz "was speechless, gobsmacked... dumbstruck" at the end of Thursday's Fox Business Network GOP primary debate.

The Texas senator criticized fellow Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for embodying what he called "New York values."

Krauthammer, a syndicated columnist and Fox News contributor, said that while Cruz was "dazzling" on the birther issue, he got "thoroughly crushed on the New York thing."

Krauthammer seemed surprised by the way Cruz handled Trump's attacks, calling the exchange "uncharacteristic of Cruz because he is always prepared."

"Trump had played the 9/11 card the day before," Krauthammer said, "[Cruz] should have known it was coming."

"And if you saw the split screen at the end of hat exchange, Cruz was speechless," Krauthammer said.

Well intentioned people are always shocked when they see someone do something despicable.

Good grief, GET OVER the words “NY values” etc. This is the most important campaign and we haggle over this BS?

Hillary, Sanders, Obambi and the other lefties are the issue. Take it ALL out on them. Sticks and stones, friends.

Not the first time that Charles has been dumbstruck.

Charles unfortunately has long ago succumbed to inside the beltway disease. Now days, if you want the inside track on establishment thinking, watch or read Charles.

Krauthammer obviously hasn’t read Ted’s “apology”.

And Donald’s cheap exploitation of 9/11 offended me.

I’m New York born and raised, BTW.

Trump went all emotional liberal on him.. Watch the debate again.

Cruz: New York City Values Like Pro Abortion and Pro Gay Marriage

Trump: How dare you talk about 911, and the brave people of New York? remember the stink of death?

Nobody, well unless they are a complete idiot, thinks Cruz was attacking the brave firefighters or anyone else. He was attacking the values.. If trump didn’t have them, he shouldn’t get his feelings so hurt.

So a Democrat who worked for Carter and Mondale sides with Trump against Cruz? Who saw that coming?

Isn’t it amazing we have not only retread articles but we have FReepers who 9 months ago wouldn’t touch Kraut with a ten foot pole. Now all of a sudden he is resurrected to attack the conservative as he always has. The liberalism these days is strong in FR.

But hey the Republican Party has their own hopey changey now

Yet the New York media complain about the South, Midwest and West all the time. East coast bias

Trump is a better debater than Cruz when it comes to giving answers which connect with the audience.

Something I said nearly 6 months ago.

No surprise.

Trump is a smarmy weasel, and his minions are only to willing to buy into this carnvial barkers spiel as if it were the original text of the Gospel itself.

He’s palying you folks and if he does succeed in getting elected, your gonna learn that.....the hard way.
