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."

If it bleeds, it leads?
I’m not the one who likes to spread rumors about people for which they can’t produce any evidence, lady.
No, because your summation is BS. You can repeat it as much as you want, it doesn’t make it true. If your ‘evidence’ is so irrefutable, why don’t you take it to the FEC or the state’s AG and ask them to file a criminal case. You wont’ because you can’t because your statements are just speculation and complete BS. You have no proof that he bribed anyone. Your summation is the same of any other major businessman giving money to Super-PACS or campaigns in hopes to ‘buy’ influence. But you can’t prove bribery. Supporting a politician that will ‘pass legislation’ that will benefit you and your business is playing the system, but is not bribery.
wahhhh wahhahhh wahhhhh
Theres more proof that he bribed people then that he has a conservative bone in his body.
Provide the proof.
go stick it
Trump admitted he bought politicians. Thats how he’s been successful in getting his projects approved.
You Trumpettes have a spectacular low level of proof required to support the wildest accusations about Cruz. But when it comes to your master you want evidence and depositions.
stick it
He’s not going to change NY and they are NOT going to ever like him.
At this point Ted Cruz should really pull out of the race as he just continues to embarrass himself.
Cruz really has very little chance at the nomination outright as he needs most of the delegates left and with NY coming up, and his great reception there /s, pretty much it is an impossible task to take the nomination outright.
The only reason for him to stay in is to help the GOPe try to get this to a contested convention and in the meantime, keeps the party split. Ted Cruz absolutely has no integrity to allow the GOPe to do the things they are doing behind the scene to try to thwart the will of the Republican voters.

Wow, this is just how delusional some of you have gotten.
Cruz needs pretty close to all the remaining delegates left to take the nomination outtright, so he CAN'T afford to write any off.
How comical!

Cruz was talking about Trump’s interview where Trump himself talks about his values and how they were NY values. You will see now that Trump claims different values for this election, but there is no denying that Trump hid behind those liberal values for most of his adult life.
Don’t take my word for it, watch/listen for yourself.

Cruz is playing(when he decries NY values) to enough NY state voters in upstate to deny Trump a greeater than 50 per cent of the NY primary vote. I know upstate NY very well...Areas in the Southern tier of NY state and Hornel west towards Rochester as well as Northern NY around Plattsburgh and Rome Utica as well as suburbs of Syracuse have the highest concentrations of evangelical voters in the state and who love Cruz. They will vote to deny Trump the full slate of NY’s republican delegates hence making it harder for him to get the 1237 he needs to win the Nomination outright!
Upstate NY’s will go Kasich or Cruz...they know precisely what Cruz meant by NY values...Trump will win a majority of delegates but not all 95!
We’ll see.
I know upstaters who cannot stand cRuz, but will happily support Trump.
They’ve seen the jobs that Trump has created for their state.
“Cruz needs pretty close to all the remaining delegates left to take the nomination outtright, so he CAN’T afford to write any off.”
Nice of you to be so concerned about Cruz’s welfare.
Don’t worry, Cruz will take it at the convention. :-)
Just saw a devastating ad put out by Kasick that bashes Cruz on this. Wtg John!
YAWN.
After New York, it will be mathematically impossible for him to get enough of the remaining delegates to get the nomination outright. You remaining Cruz supporters are getting quite delusional.
The only thing left is to run a deceptive, sleazy campaign so he can run interference for the GOP establishment. That is the reality of the situation but so many of you want to be blind to the corruption that would have to take place for Cruz to stay in it.
CGato
Oh I think Trump will win the majority...but some of those upstate locales will vote in enough numbers not to allow trump to get all 95 delegates!
I know you’re desperate from Cruz to throw in the towel. However, his chances of pulling out the nomination are getting better by the day.
Call it whatever you want, he’s following the rules of the game, and he’s schooling Deceptive Donnie, who doesn’t have a clue.
Better get used to the idea of President Ted Cruz.
