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."

It’s more serious than I thought. You’re completely unhinged. Seek help immediately.

California is full of great people, but I don’t defend California values.

I absolutely would not be offended if he insulted California’s values.

I would wholeheartedly agree.

Yes he did. By word, by context, by implication.

If by uttering the phrase "New York values" it's understood by the vast majority of Americans that he meant "decadent liberal values" then I think that New Yorkers have nothing to whine about.

Me think New York valued Trumpets doth protest too much.

They want to keep the liberal values they treasure so much

The so-called Texan, who’s nothing in the world but a Canadian pretending to be a Texan, was completely destroyed in the Southern United States because he also has no Southern values; which are honesty, integrity and real love of God. Southerners saw right throw his used-car salesman, Elmer Gantry impersonation and voted for a NY businessman over him. No GOP candidate has ever won the nomination without winning SC, then Florida, which SCruz resoundingly didn’t just lose, he was destroyed. No GOP candidate for president has ever won the White House without carrying Ohio, Florida and the South. SCruz will not become the first, even if the GOPe party bosses rig the nomination process and give it to him, after another candidate has won millions of more voters than him. Say hello to President Hillary Clinton if that happens. Name me the first democrat that would vote for Elmer Gantry SCruz. They don’t exist.

I could drop the names of the D.C. Madams phone records

<><><><><

The only way one could truthfully drop the names of those in the DC Madam’s phone records at this time is if that one were the, uh, service technician dispatched to handle the servicing of the client.

I am not thinking that you have ever spent a moment as a service technician.

Therefore, you have no names to drop. And we both know it.

I hope you paid GOPe endorsers are donating to FR...I doubt it.

GOP is really getting desperate. Bribing delegates and paying folks to post on forums.

Another Canadian flipped the bird to voters in the past. Pierre Trudeau gave the finger to some Western Canadians way back and the Liberal Party never got a foothold in Western Canada. Probably wise to keep his finger to himself so to speak.

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.

But you don't have to come right out and say it. Anyone with a few campaigns under their belt would know that. But not Cruz. He's a clueless noob.

& I’m happy he said it & explained it & gave great examples. I didn’t expect Cruz to get the votes of NY liberals. Since it’s a closed primary, maybe some liberals will change party affiliation to vote for Trump since he may share some of their NY values...

“I could drop the names of the D.C. Madams phone records, but I won’t...”

Put up or shut up. So sick you trashy Trumpists and your love of unsubstantiated innuendoes.

“is your number on there?”

Considering the last time I was in DC I was 10 years old visiting the Smithsonian with my grandfather, I highly doubt it.

Yuck.

I heard DeBlasio defend "NY values" on the radio.

And I see this headline in Breaking News of my adopted home FR?

“But you don’t have to come right out and say it. Anyone with a few campaigns under their belt would know that. But not Cruz. He’s a clueless noob.”

Why? Because he says it like it is?

Isn’t that what you love about Deceptive Donnie?

Don’t you think you’re being hypocritical?

Trumpets are proud of their New York values.

They proudly believe in abortion, pro-gray rights, and anti-2nd amendment, and they don’t want anyone questioning that.

They’re hurt that someone would actually call a spade a spade.

The media is a sham. Who lobbies who over there? How much money goes from the dems to the broadcasters? From the GOPe liars, to the broadcasters?

I remember when the media followed their marching orders and hit up Teddy the TOOL for ‘shutting down the government’.
Now, they are told to prop his sorry lyin’ a** up, and it shows.
