It is true and I was for Cruz, even donated to him - but that changed starting with taking Neil Bush into his campaign...

Cruz hasn't compromised his positions hiring Neil Bush. Neil Bush is simply falling in line getting beside Cruz.

then siding with the Chicago protestors and on from there.

To say that Cruz was siding with the protestors is wrong. Cruz first and foremost blamed the protestors.

Yes, you really need to be from NY to understand anything about NY - plus you are confusing values with politcians. I am totally disgusted with the politics, yet I vote anyway eventhough my vote means nothing most of the time. I was offended by his comment because he lumped everyone in NY into one negative comment - he forgets those of us who fight the loosing battle here, but continue the fight anyway.

I'm from NY. I know exactly what Cruz was saying. It was Trump several years back, who lumped all NY'ers together and who defended his liberal positions by saying that he was from NY.

To Trump, abortion...etc, is NY values and that all NY'ers have them. You should be offended by that and not by what Cruz said.

Cruz's comment was a play on what Trump said.

The belly of the beast is right.......I laughed hard when the one protester yelled at Cruz..."We're the lead on climate change in NY"!....hahahaha! No doubt Hillary's boys are in the mix to oppose Cruz as well.....

Cruz had actually already pretty much written NY off anyway.... But I agree Cruz's move was brilliant to go into NY City... and accomplished the desired end.... Trump quickly cancelled three rallies in other states to make sure NY would be secure, Cruz was on his heels and wasn't about to let Crus influence "His People!.....lololol......thus Cruz has free delegate and voter reign in those states without Trump interference. Great move on Cruz's part.....

HAHAHAHAH! Go Cruz Go!!!!

The only enemies Cruz is making in New York is liberals, RINOs, and CINOs.

Meanwhile you people have lost sight of the plays while the media keeps you occupied on the nonsense.

Cruz made a huge play by diving into the heart of NY City...smack on Trumps tail on his ground...who wasn’t about to let Cruz play in his park nor influence his people....Trump took the bait and “cancelled three rallies” in the states Cruz is working for voters and delegates....lolol

‘Mission accomplished’...while Trump continues to “secure” NY which Cruz had already written off.... Cruz has free reign in the other states now without Trump interference....hahahah!

I heard Cruz with my own ears on the Chicago protests and couldn’t believe what I was hearing, so it’s not wrong.

I wouldn’t have hired Neil Bush - I would have just said no thanks because there are most definitely strings attached. And he would not go against the establishment while taking their support.

As far as endorsements, I agree he can’t control who endorses him - I just would not have them working for my campaign.

It's all political calculation. Kinda like a big ol chess game. As long as folks play by the rules, I'm good.

There will be people ‘worshiping’ Baal in Times Square. That Gateway is a satanic icon, and it was scheduled to be on display in America on a satanic ‘holy week’. No coincidence there. /s

I agree that Cruz will fight.

So will Trump.

That’s why Trump/Cruz 2016 is such a great ticket.

Much better than Trump/Kasich because Kasich won’t fight.

Trump/Brewer would be good. I think she’s a fighter.

Considering that bribing politicians, union leaders, and bankers is a crime, please provide the evidence and court cases that prove this. You can’t because it is BS.

Trump said he’s done it. heck any other Trump support just makes excuses for it.

How else was he so “successful” in NYC?

I guess by your assertion he bribed Ted Cruz, as all of his ‘bribes’ were legal campaign contributions. I guess that make Cruz guilty of accepting bribes.

Was Cruz a NYC politicans or Union leader?

He did funnel money to the Clinton Foundation though.
