Ted also criticized the money. The media and the money, he said. Media is correct. But he is hat in hand for the NY money for his campaign. The ads will write themselves.

One more thing...it is pretty damn funny that many on FR all of a sudden support “New York values”! HAHA!

Excellent reminder cc.

I'll post that pic again.

Rudy is hotter than Caitlyn!

[CatherineofAragon]

LOL!

Giuliani is liberal scum but the guy with his face in Rudy’s boobs is the savior of the country!

Gimme those NYC values!

[halo66]

LOL...you nailed it! I need some of them values!

Since when have candidates not needed donations?

If, in order to support Trump, you’re suddenly pushing a meme that donations are evil, then you’re saying that only the super-rich elite should be able to run for president.

[halo66]

Exactly! Let’s see...did Reagan need donations???

I just got an email from a NJ friend who goes into NYC all the time. She thinks Cruz’s values comment was funny.

The only ones who have a problem with it are liberals...and those who have slipped leftward in order to support progressive Trump.

"Exactly! Let’s see...did Reagan need donations???"

Good point. I wonder if he would have been savaged for it if the Trump cult existed back then.

[halo66]

Couldn’t agree more...everyone here and the media spinning this are nuts. When I watched the interview with Trump from 1999, I could see why Cruz brought up Trump’s New York values...It came from Trump’s mouth!

[TornadoAlley3]

Donations are not evil. It is hypocritical to slam the state of NY while taking their money. He should return the gay fundraiser money and all other donations from New Yorkers or apologize.

[biff]

Not really, all the NYC folks I know proudly claim they are different. What disgusts me is all you folks would not have said a word if Trump said the same thing about Iowa. People in the heartland would have said “damn right we have different values than NYC.”

[TornadoAlley3]

Cruz attacked NY money, not me.

[halo66]

Trump nor Cruz will win New York...it’s a moot point. And no...Cruz should not apologize when all he was doing was stating the facts about the interview that Trump did in 1999.

I'd bet the south has the north beat in all categories for morality.

Of the 17 states with mortality rates above the national average, 13 are southern and border states. Of the top ten states with the longest longevity, six are in the northeast. Indeed, New York has the fourth lowest mortality rate, whereas Texas has the 17th worst.

He will apologize.

[CatherineofAragon]

Trump’s nothing but a sleaze and he always has been. Just listen to the audio of him cursing the guy who set up a mike at a rally and consider whether that’s presidential material.

[halo66]

We shall see...

I never heard the soundbite from that...do you have a link?
