Trump, Clinton Sweep New York
howiecarrshow.com ^ | 4/20/16 | Howie Carr

Posted on 04/20/2016 5:36:40 AM PDT by raccoonradio

Rafael Ted Cruz, Jr. had a big problem last night with New York values.

His problem was, New York values a chance to actually vote for the candidates. So the Empire State didn’t cancel its primary, or pick the delegates in smoke-filled back rooms, the way Ted Cruz prefers to have the fights fixed for him by his Republican-in-name-only (RINO) handlers.

Another problem for Cruz: he’s the favorite son… of Calgary, Alberta. Donald Trump is the favorite son of Queens, New York.

They weren’t counting Donald Trump’s votes last night in New York, they were weighing them. And for the record, even before last evening, Trump had 8.2 million votes in all the primaries so far, compared to Ted Cruz’s 6.3 million.

Remember that the next time you hear Cruz bragging about his string of “victories” or dismissing “hard-core Trump supporters.” Yesterday Ted said the Trump campaign was “a Kim Kardashian reality show.” What does that make the Cruz campaign – a Pat Nee reality show? Which lasted, what, four weeks.

Another New York value — New York is in the Eastern time zone. Cruz can’t buy a thrill here in the East. (The only state he’s won here is Maine, which had, what else, caucuses.) Cruz also doesn’t sell in populous areas, except for his home state, Alberta – I mean, Texas, which is Central time. Likewise, Cruz is a killer in the Mountain time zone. Willard M. Romney thinks Cruz is the bee’s knees.

In the Mountain time zone, with their 53 or so electoral votes, Cruz is the toast of the town. In New York, he’s just plain toast.

But New York? His kind of town, New York is not Ted Cruz’s kind of town, or state. Not enough holy rollers or snake handlers. Not everybody in New York speaks English, but very few speak in tongues. Sorry, Rafael.

Poor Cruz has got the same problem these next few weeks. Take the Nutmeg State – don’t see too many al fresco baptisms along the banks of the Connecticut River in Hartford. Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart were never SRO in Bridgeport.

Poor Ted Cruz. He’s got to be thinking this morning… if only the GOP had super delegates, like the Democrats do. Dammit, Hillary doesn’t have to worry about losing all these primaries! All the RINO’s are falling in behind Rafael, even Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Senate majority leader whom Cruz called a liar on the floor of the Senate last summer.

Now McConnell is telling a Louisville TV station that he’s “cautiously optimistic” that the convention will be “contested.” In other words, he’s cautiously optimistic that he and Paul Ryan-O and Willard and Juan Ellis Bush and all the rest of them can steal the nomination from the guy who got the most votes.

By the way, McConnell also denied that there was a “kabal,” and as he pointed out to his local reporter, if there was a RINO cabal, he’d definitely be part of it.

Yesterday Cruz threw out a few final insults, sneering that Trump’s campaign “does not seem capable of running a lemonade stand.”

Hey Ted, don’t you even think about opening a lemonade stand in Binghamton or Buffalo, in Poughkeepsie or Plattsburgh, in the Bronx or Brooklyn, not unless you’re planning to sell hard lemonade. And it still wouldn’t go over, even if you named your chain New York Values Lemonade.

We get President Hillary if the GOP fails to unite behind a candidate.

you really are not understanding this are you so I will break it down as easy as I can for you.

TX will go republican and NY will probably go Dem. Now cruz also came last in the swing states of FL, VA, OH and could not win a single county in two of those important must win states FL, VA

Pathetic already.

He will probably come last again in PA and many other states which are about to vote like he did in some southern states.

Now perhaps you could get your head out of where the su does not shine and actually understand as to what is happening and stop making stupid comments which make you bitter and pathetic.

As for DU and trolls, well I would expect you to read that post of your again and think about that too.

You’re coming across more and more like a sore loser. Much like Mark Levin sounds these days.

Face it - you both bet on the wrong horse; you failed to recognize a new political environment here in America.

“Only in Kruz-Aid drinking Cruztown is a 43% win by a favorite son a “big win”.”

It is when there’s 4 people in the race and he got half a million more votes than 2nd place Trump got.

I think he made a valid point

A million dims vs 3/4 mill R's in a general comes out as a dim win in the general

This was a home state victory - nothing more

Cruz couldn't get a majority in his home state. If it's a "nothing more", what does that say about Cruz?

Trump got 48 delegates out of Texas.

How many did Cruz get out of New York? Yeah that’s right, zero.

Trump swept all the other southern states. Cruz carried the homestate of Reince Preibus and the states where regular people don’t vote.

New York is a closed primary and Democrats vastly outnumber Republicans in the state.

The General will not be closed.

Trump will beat the crap out of Hillary.

A lot of those Sanders voters won’t vote for Hillary, they may even vote for Trump.

Hillary got double the votes Trump did. Bernie got 200,000 more votes than Trump did. But let’s keep talking about those New York values.

Well, one of the NY Values is, that there is very little cross-over voting in the primaries due to the voter registration laws.

The general election results may bear no resemblance whatsoever to the primaries.

I didn’t detect bitterness, but the comment was somewhat “snarly”

“It is when there’s 4 people in the race”

So why does that matter?

Isnt he supposed to be a god in Texas?

Why would loyal Texans vote for people from other states when their own sitting senator is a candidate.

And what the heck makes you think the votes other candidates got were earmarked for Cruz if they were not there anyway?

Texas was an open primary. New York was closed and you had to decide to switch registration by last October to vote yesterday. BUT anyone can vote for anyone in November as long as they’re registered. I think that will be key.
