Ted Cruz Tries, Fails to Explain ‘New York Values’ to Actual New Yorkers
NY Mag ^ | 7 Apr 16 | Claire Landsbaum

Posted on 04/07/2016 8:30:04 AM PDT by xzins

Cruz's reception in New York was chilly.

Back in January, Ted Cruz made the mistake of assuming the rest of America still hates New York. His dismissal of "New York values" didn't endear him to the Empire State — Governor Cuomo demanded an apology from Cruz, and the New York Daily News did what the New York Daily News does best — and as expected, the comment came back to haunt him as he campaigned in the Bronx on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, at a massive rally in Long Island, Donald Trump, who's polling ahead of Cruz in New York by a wide margin, used the senator's remarks against him. "Do you remember during the debate when he started lecturing me on New York values like we're no good?" Trump asked the crowd. "Folks, I think you can forget about him."

Upstaters know what he is talking about

You got that right. And upstate is anything north of Yonkers.

It is not “where” they are that is the issue. It is “what” they are. I believe it is time for Trump himself to elaborate on what New York values actually are. And not by hiding behind 9/11. That was a cheap shot at the debate, in my opinion, and he had to fall back on it because he had nothing of substance to say about it. Or he didn’t want to tell the truth.

CLOSED primary. No Indie or Dem can vote for any Repub candidate. In order to change party, you have to do so more than six moths BEFORE the primary.

Lots of Bernie students are pissed - they missed the deadline to select the specific party. Some were reg in the Liberal party, Green Party, Indie, No Party selected - so they can’t vote. Some waited too long to even register (first timers) - lots of wailing going on now in NY.

NY Indies are people who don’t like any structured party and usually make up their mind at the last minute. They can vote in some local primaries - but never in a presidential.

“yep boasting how he won a state to a bunch of high school kids in their school gym to make it look like a bigger crowd where the voters did not vote.
LOL”

You’re just depressed your boy didn’t even know the votes were there to get.

Might be kind of handy come convention time.

Hey, electing the scion of a brothel empire from New York can’t be any worse than electing the scion of a bootlegging empire from Boston, can it?

You forgot Cruz. Like many of Ted Cruz’s uniparty establishment coworkers on your list, Cruz took money from Trump too.

I didn’t say to tell me what Trump said. I don’t believe anything he says.

Show me the polls for all 27 districts.

I’m still waiting...

If Donald Trump hates guns so much, why does he carry one himself?

Please do explain

Out of the dozen, or so, in attendance, half of them look asleep, the rest look like they want to barf. Poor kids.

Maybe this is actually detention hall 😱

[The temple of baal was an archeological site in Syria that was destroyed by ISIS]

The destruction of archeological structures by ISIS can be condemned without bringing the actual structure to America.

There is spiritual significance to this baal gateway.
1) Gateways are symbolic spiritual entrances for good and evil.
2) Baal is a satanic god meaning lord.
3) April 19 is a high satanic day.
4) Ground Zero is where President George Washington proclaimed America as a nation under God.

GOD will not bless this blatant “in your face” by New York City.

so why bother going there to preach, and to double down on his inane remark

You'd have to ask Cruz that, now wouldn't you. I wouldn't go there if your idol gave me the keys to the cesspool....I mean, city.

Furthermore, if cowboyway gets elected president he's going to build a wall around NYC and make them godless heathen yankees pay for it. Then he's gonna deport all NY'ers living in decent areas of the country back to the NY sheet hole they came from.

The real question is why so many GOP voters are chronically enamored by that kind of presentation. It’s very strange.

It's not strange for those who rely solely on TV for their version of reality, like many of my friends who are religious. They know nothing of GSachs, low-interest loans, TPA/TPP, the Soros connections, the NAmerican Union stuff, the socialist Dominionism, his religious hypocrisy, etc.

What's STRANGE is the FReepers here who continue to support him and deny the above. Many (most?) are paid GOPe/Dem trolls; those, we expect. No, it's the ones who have been here posting for years, ranting about the NWO and globalism and illegal immigration policies but yet were never taken to be trolls -- THOSE are the strange ones.

Once again, thank you Donald J. Trump for outing so many people everywhere. We will forever be indebted to you. No WONDER they're so panicky.

Ted Cruz is proving that he regrets insulting a huge state with 95 delegates

The reptilian charlatan doesn't regret it one iota, and neither do his minions on FR, who despise New York and New Yorkers.

New York and New Yorkers, including me, despise him and his minions back.
