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."

You obviously don't know your candidate very well.
You best go back to my link and watch it, it's what Hillary will use on Trump should the two become nominees.
Being an “Upstater” I will tell you that Teds comment was taken to include all of NY. And ALL NYers.
Waffle it around any way you choose, but it was offensive. And NYers do have pride, same as Texans, Virginians, and pretty much every state in the Union. Yes, even we here in Upstate.
I guess this must mean that liberal New Yorkers are pretty stupid. I understood what he said about New York values. And obviously Trump understood him or he would not have busily started to spin and obfuscate.
Unlike some other Pubbie candidate who regularly insults women and has 70% of American women disliking him.
Anyone who hires a garbage man or a plumber has contacts with the mob in NYC. The construction industry is owned by the mob, it is how business is done. How many billions have you made?
You of course have no problem with a Senator having his wife receiving a half million dollar raise the year after he becomes Senator by NYC Goldman Sachs. You are supporting a corrupt politician who sells himself as a saint. What else is he lying about?
In DC you launder the corruption through your spouse, just ax Pelosi/Boxer and Reid.
The Cincinnati Museum is full of ancient Egyptian religious stuff. I assume others are as well.
And Sumerian, Babylonian, etc.
It’s rock, S&S, or wood.
It isn’t god. Read Isaiah. It’s nothing. They cooked with one half of it, and carved the other half into something they bowed down to.
Trump is right about one thing. It is past time for the federal government to look at selling and redeploying assets.
Take the United States Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.
It is time to move that facility to a reliable red state - say Texas. Somewhere where warriors are valued.
Sell the property in West Point to the highest bidder. It could be used for a prison or refuge center or some other appropriate use.
Find other federal facilities in New York. Sell them. Get the money. Put the money to good use in a state where wholesome values prevail. Nothing wrong with that.
Yes, I am aware, what I was trying to say was that IF Democrats could vote in the Republican NY primary, they wouldn’t be voting Trump, they’d be voting specifically to throw a wrench in his spokes...thus for Cruz (as Milwaukee voters did) or for Kasich.
>>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?
I think Ike might've had some interesting insights on where that was heading.

Truth hurts New York
Payback is a bi!(# isn’t it Ted?
Liberal New Yorkers hammer back.
Name one state wide true conservative in NY. (crickets).
If “New York Values” was a good thing it wouldn’t be an insult.
I am hoping so.
*clap clap clap*
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.
New York and, specifically, NYC is the BEDROCK of our American heritage and history.
Go ahead....show your ignorance and block/wall off all of that off history, in cowboyland utopia. I guess you’ll burn all of the history books, too.
Hmmmm...where’ve we seen THIS practice before?
The good news is that cowboyland has about the same chance as getting elected at Lyin’ Ted scRuz does. ;-)
Where were you? New York, DC, or that field in PA?
I do agree Americans are great.
Why are you so defensive about this comment?
Does the truth hurt?
You know, I live in California, and I’m disgusted by the politics here. It is like a Communist country here. Everything is being taken away.
If Ted something negative about California values, I would kiss the ground he walks on for pointing it out to the nation and exposing it for what it is, because I condemn the horrible values this state has.
Don’t you want to disavow all the crappy liberal policies your state has?
Or do you want to be exactly the way it is?
I’m lost on how you could be offended by this comment.
It’s at West Point because it was a critical piece of terrain during the Revolutionary War. So critical in fact, that Benedict Arnold sought to betray the Americans in that location.
And he donated even more to Republicans, REMEMBER?
