Ted Cruz Issues Apology to 'Millions of New Yorkers' — but It's Probably Not What You Think
The Blaze ^ | 1/15/16 | Oliver Darcy

Posted on 01/15/2016 4:40:17 PM PST by don-o

Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz issued an apology to "millions of New Yorkers" at a campaign event Friday - but it's probably not the one they were looking for.

"I apologize to the millions of New Yorkers who have been let down by liberal politicians," Cruz told an audience in South Carolina.

Wipe the corners of your Trumpeteer mouth. The kool-aid is dripping out and your swollen tongue is showing.

The NewYawk Value Boy was played like a 3 string banjo and needs to learn how to debate a real debater that uses REAL words in full sentences and not just quarter sentences.

Of course, The NewYawk Value Boy does not want to confuse his tribe of followers by using BIG words so the only big word he uses is YUGE.

"I apologize to all of Iowa who have been let down by liberal politicians, like Obama for whom they voted," Cruz told an audience in South Carolina.

There fixed it.

I’m having some difficulty sorting all this out but I was somewhat put off by the way the man from NY who says whatever comes to mind about whoever acted so righteously indignant when someone says something about his home state. Donald has been turning the stove up on high but now the kitchen is too hot for him?

Wow! Your angst is felt to a broad range of states that went Obama in the last election - as you put it basis their values: Maryland (which just elected a Republican governor), Florida, Virginia et al.

Basis their Presidential voting records, one could say Maryland values or Virginia values or even Pennsylvania values or whatever.

Cruz is digging himself a national hole as he tries to save himself in IA. And the more he digs the hole the more shrill become his followers.

I thought this was a Presidential election underway. Cruz is still generally unknown, but the developing 'known' things are all bad to winning an election and you are not helping his cause.

Amen.

What Ted said in the debate was spot on and I find it dumbfounding that anybody except liberal New Yorkers finds what Ted Cruz said in the debate offensive. You can also lump in a lot of big cities across the country along with NYC. If it wasn’t for these liberal cesspools we wouldn’t have Obama.

New Yawk...New Yawk politicians ..... are not the above Trumpeteer.

Spin it up again for The NewYawk Values Man.

The new Liberal Conservative with New Yawk political friends defending him to the end

I said I wasn’t sure because I may have mixed you up with another poster who deals in personal insults.

I apologize.

I don’t see how anyone could lose to Hillary...She’s horrible and should be in jail but there are a lot of crazy liberals in the country.

You may be right... I hope you are right about Biden being too late in because he is at least likable.

I also hope you’re right about Trump’s popularity if he does win the nomination ... well, we will know fairly soon.

I will definitely support him if he does. But I still think Cruz is better.

Indeed, I was shouting and cheering when Ted said that. Thought it was his finest line. We’ve had 7 years of “New York values”. We’ve had enough.

That's okay...just please remember me now, as I am; okay? :-)

Hillary really isn't a very good debater and now, she's even worse than she used to be. OTOH, she has the ability to completely throw off anyone who is used to really debating. Ted STINKS off the cuff and isn't a speedy thinker on his feet. Hillary will eat him alive, immediately, and then keep on beating his ashes.

OTOH, Trump is far better than she is at cowing an opponent.

“Flaglady... please don’t scare me like that ... it’s almost bedtime. I need to sleep.”

While you sleep, Trump, who functions on 4-5 hours of sleep per night is working away, preparing to be President. That’s why he will be and you won’t.

I’m not running ... I don’t run anymore.

I do not think that functioning on a short amount of sleep is a qualification to be president, but if you think it is...well, okay then.

I don’t agree.

Ted Cruz made the cuff. He would decimate her and she would never see it coming.

This is not a recent phenomena. He’s been that way all his working life. Has stood him in pretty good stead, hasn’t it. Wish I could get by on 4-5 hours sleep, but I can’t.

Calling someone out for the exact words they said and the exact values they have, is not "screwing up", it's exposing Trump for WHO he really is. If anyone screwed up, it's Trump. Uh-oh

Trumps New York Values

FYI, Cruz is not spinning anything, nor is he painting anyone anything. He’s merely pointing out the truth. And the ones spinning and painting are the Trump supporters.

Nothing says gravitas like “Trump is a NY Liberal. Nener, nener, nener.” No substance or issue there. Cruzman Sachs is desperate and this is his last card.
