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.

Trump + Kasich +Cruz: 855,000
Yep, better do what New York tells us to do, because we have a great chance of winning NY in November!!
One interpretation could be;
This was a home state victory ... nothing more
>> Another problem for Cruz: he’s the favorite son… of Calgary, Alberta. Donald Trump is the favorite son of Queens, New York.
I suppose they have a stampede in Queens.
The forces of evil are full bore cutting down the tree of liberty
Bullseye!!
Howey is a riot, he nails all the key points dead on.
I hope you have fun with this thread.
*Vote* TRUMP!
Impeach Hillary!
Repatriate Cruz!
Kibbutz 4 Bernie!
New York will always be blue except for the southern tire counties. It’s just like PA. There are more Dems voting than Repubs.
e:
Hillary Clinton : 1,037,344 ( forget Sanders 700K +)
Trump + Kasich +Cruz: 855,000
Yep, better do what New York tells us to do, because we have a great chance of winning NY in November!!
You FORGOT the 3 million Independent voters!
Ted Cruz wins big in one of the most Conservative states (TX).
Only in Kruz-Aid drinking Cruztown is a 43% win by a favorite son a “big win”.
Trump is a terrible, horrible no-good candidate... and yet he will still be far and away the best candidate offered up by either major party in 32 years.
Did you just find out that there are more democrats than republicans in New York?
They were closed primaries.
Not sure what point you are trying to make.
..Perhaps the Trump Chumps are cross-over DUmmies who are trolling this site?...
Perhaps Cruz doesn’t recognize absolute defeat when it slaps him across the forehead?
wow bitter much, guess you said the same thing after WI and the other states cruz lost when voters vote seeing as cruz has only won 3 state outside his own state where voters vote.
\
Yep that would make a hell of a strong candidate to fight Clinton, NOT.
“His problem was, New York values a chance to actually vote for the candidates.”
It’s more than a Cruz problem, 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.
Sorry you’re slow.
“Trump had 8.2 million votes in all the primaries so far...”
to Bernie’s 7.37 million votes (*).
But that’s just because NY is a closed primary. < /sarc >
(*) Kentucky Democrat primary has not occurred yet.
Just some clarification. Trump is doing very well with evangelicals. Him winning in NY had nothing to do, with a lack of religion in NY. The states that are suppose to be the most relugious, Trump has won most of them.
Cruz couldn’t win a state in the conservative South East. Perhaps Cruzers are just delusional. Did you enjoy yesterday’s results?
