‘You can google the same pro abortion and gay pride and occupy images for Austin, Dallas and Houston, Texas. You don’t win by insulting states in debates.”

Who decided to insult Texas values here?

Are you just winging it instead?

Here’s what NY’s governor says his state’s values are.

So who do you agree with, Cuomo or Cruz?

New York is a huge state, you don't win the presidency by insulting a damn state of any size.

He insulted values not the state - don't play the victim because, well you know 9-11.

This is more of a Hail Mary pass, and if it connects, and Cruz wins Iowa, it will have been a good move.

I think it's politically suicidal. He may win Iowa with it, but he'll lose more delegate-rich states as a result. It will be the political equivalent of a dead-cat bounce.

Only liberals think that Cruz made a mistake by identifying Trump with New York values.

Are you really that pathetic, or did I miss the sarcasm tag?

I’m just curious, when was the last time New York helped to elect a Texan who is a Baptist, and is pro-life?

Face it. It's over for Ted and you are now smearing Trump with images that can also be found in the big cities in Texas.

Who's your favorite when Cruz drops out? Jeb or Rubio I would imagine.

You're wrong and I bet that those people whom you hate, you hated BEFORE you ever met them; IF you have EVER met them!

I know many CONSERVATIVE New Yorkers who live in other states where they have not only been welcomed, but liked very much.

From the Trumpet camp? The ultimate of irony.

Trump made a crass comment about doubting Cruz’s conservative creds because his family came from Cuba.

Cruz, in what likely was meant as a tit-for-tat, made a crass comment about Trump having New York values, which was essentially implying the same doubts of his conservative creds.

Trump gets away with this, since these are the kinds of comments we expect from him, and because, hey - it’s Cuba, so say what you want.

Cruz doesn’t get away with it, because we expect better from him, and he unwisely (also unexpected from him) chose an American state as the subject of his taunt.

I think Cruz’s best move now is to just come out and admit it an ill-advised turn of a phrase in an attempt to get even with Trump over his Cuba comment, and apologize to New Yorkers.

He alienated many people and it was unnecessary. Not smart.
