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 takes money from the same people Hillary has.

Terd Snuz can be bought just like any politician.

You are posting Cruz lies and a nasty PAC ad—even if these were accurate positions, they are from years ago and certainly not reflective of positions today which are shown below:

Here is the truth on this video:

Liberal progressives will never hear a Conservative point of view. Trump is supported in NY because he is NOT a true conservative.
Heck, democrats from Texas are more conservative than republicans in NY. That's the naked truth.

In Texas, Sheila Jackson Lee is one of the most liberal progressive/socialist congress persons sitting in the House. She also was born and raised in none other than Queens, NY. Can't fix stupid y'all.

By the way, Trump also will lose NY to the democrat nominee in the general. Does this not point to NY values? Hmmmm

The only New Yorkers who were offended by this statement are pro-aborts.

They weren’t going to vote for him anyway.

Guess who they are voting for?

Regardless in Cruz’s position of having momentum (ha!). Doesn’t look good for him. Cruz needs those 95 delegates he will lose. Goodbye Cruz!

He just stated proudly how he has bene endorsed by Jeb bush, Lindsay Graham, Fiorina.

The man is full of the establishment and remember this.

Let me encourage other members of the establishment: Keep supporting Donald Trump because every time you do it, what it is doing is telling conservatives all over the country is where you stand and who stands with you”.
- Ted Cruz, New Hampshire stump speech

I don’t know what delusions or drugs this man is on , but he is talking about CO and how he win the 6 delegates.
Good grief.
Now ND he is stating how he won this state too.

WOW.

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.

Did he bring teddy bears and soccer balls to hand out?

In 1999.

But what Cruz said within the last year about BOTH letting illegals stay and massively increasing H1B visas is not allowed to be brought up.

They double standard is stunning.

“The press has been up Cruz’s butt for months acting like winning the primary without voters is awesome.”

But you love the fact that Trump has garnered 37% of the popular vote and has 46% of the delegates.

Exactly. Those people aren’t going to vote for Cruz anyway.

We’ll let Deceptive Donnie have the pro-abort voters.

FWIW, Jeanne Kirkpatrick spoke of “San Francisco Democrats” at the 1984 GOP Convention. Reagan won CA later that year.

Trump actually has a shot at winning New York. Polling in Long Island not too long ago shows a real possibility of him being a game changer.

“to most Americans it really is seen as being rude”

Which Americans would those be? The ones who look down their nose at “flyover country” full of people clinging to guns and religion? Or the ones who constantly write off my hometown as a cesspool that is “worse than Iraq”?

He’ll get some of them. It’s a proportional state.

The Deceptive Donnie Dominance narrative is overblown. Donnie won’t win all of them.
