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

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."

Cruz was 100% correct.

They are in denial because they share NY values. The rest of America not so much.

No, Ted Cruz is proving that he regrets insulting a huge state with 95 delegates

Because he always had a chance of picking them up in both the primary and the general.

But that would be unPresidential. Unless of course his name was Donald Trump.

Have any more of these useless articles? Every conservative knew what he meant. These are liberals & illegals who don’t like it. I was born in Brooklyn (still part of NYC) & I’m a conservative & it’s obvious to me.

You left off the donations Trump - as a businessman - made to Republicans like Bed cRuz.

Every NJ and NYer I’ve spoken with (have to travel their quite often) LOVE Trump and do NOT like Lyin’ cRuz.

One cabby was hilarious, when he found out I am from TX....he said, “Texas?? That’s where Ted Cruz is from...he LIES!!”

Got such a kick out of that.

Everyone I’ve had meetings with, drivers, family/friends in NY/NJ LOVE Trump.

Are you kidding me? The fact that New Yorkers are doing what they are doing, saying what they are saying, and giving him grief about it, is proof, that he is spot on!

Not to mention, that Donald Trump said himself, that he actually has "New York Values" and that because of that his beliefs differ from other areas of the country.

I find it interesting that the ONLY way Trump (and his minions) are able to attack Cruz, is by using leftist strategies.

Which begs the question, if you are using the leftist strategies and talking points, doesn't that make you a lefty?

Good thing that’s a load of manure, or the earth would be in SERIOUS trouble.

I am watching him at a school giving a speech to a bunch of high school kids who look to have been forced to go to their gym.
This is not WI for him. Watching him here I actually feel bad for him for trying to give an impression he has support in NY.

Of course. No one can explain New York values to New Yorkers. That’s exactly the problem.

Why would Cruz fake hatred of New York City when his campaign is financed by million dollar loans from a Wall Street company his wife works for such as Goldman Sachs??

NY values are what Trump told Tim Russert informed his pro-”choice” principles.

“Lol, not a mistaken assumption.”

While on FR it may be cool to draw a line around a part of the nation and heap all types of scorn on them for simply being where they are, to most Americans it really is seen as being rude.

After Ted raises some Wall St. money I expect to see him move on to April 26 states. His super pacs will stay behind to try to do damage

If cRuz doesn’t care for NY values, he should stay out of NY.

Curious thing....what Cruz said just months ago is no longer relevant, but what Trump did or said years ago is up to the minute relevant.

He has given FAR MORE to conservatives since his change to conservative than he has given to democrats.

And, as he has said. To operate business in America, you must play the game that’s set before you.
