Lay off New York, Ted Cruz

The next time Cruz shows up here he should tear himself away from his friends at Goldman Sachs and make a side trip to the Bronx and explain himself there on New York values; or to the Lower East Side, or Williamsburg, Brooklyn, or Jamaica, Queens, or 125th St. in Harlem. He should go talk to people in the Rockaways or Staten Island, the hardened survivors who bound together after Hurricane Sandy, about New York values. Or finally he should go all the way downtown, and back to September 2001.

Here is what New York values are: New York values are a young guy, a paralegal, literally giving somebody he doesn't know the shirt off his back on a subway because winter has finally come to the city and brought freezing temperatures with it. New York values are the New York taxi driver who traveled three boroughs across four days to find the guy who had left $1,400 in his cab, so he could return the money to him. You know what that really was? It was the real life of a city that Ted Cruz knows nothing about. He is simply another tourist here, one constantly on the make.

The best of this city is the best of this country, and always has been. When it was hit in a way that no American city had ever been hit, it came together and rose up together in a moment as thrilling as any America had ever seen.

You need to start thinking on your own rather than relying on others to define your political views. Kind of obvious with you.

So being the VP of Goldman Sachs is “essentially” the same thing as being a VP of one of Goldman Sachs divisions.

Right...

And because Cruz got a loan against his own stocks, the same loan open to anyone who holds stocks, he got special treatment and has now been bought be Goldman Sachs.

So in short you lie and an honest discussion isn’t possible. No thanks. I learned my lesson.

[jughandle]

Thought liberalism, gay marriage, and abortion(women’s right) were values NYC was proud of...?

[CrimsonTidegirl]

GREAT post!!! You destroyed that little troll. Great job:)

[parksstp]

There’s a difference between “thinking on one’s own”(which I always do, but very shrewdly do my homework and research to come to the conclusions I do), and “making sh*t up” (which is the hallmark of your postings)

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Thanks for sharing your opinion.

[WRhine]

You better double down on your homework because your conclusions based largely on talk show punditry show a high degree of naivety. To even bring up Mark Levin as some kind of source of credibility is a complete joke.

I've listened to that guy rage off the deep end about a topic and in the next breath completely contradict what he said a minute before. He does make for good comedy though.

Those of us who live out here in the west REALLY don’t give a rat’s eraficium about NY, OR the east coast! Ted, you are our only hope.

[parksstp]

Concrete Examples of this, else this is precisely what I mean when I say your posts are dependent on “making sh*t up*.

By the way, Levin’s a FReeper. If you’re not a coward, you should repeat what you just said to him directly.

[WRhine]

Appealing to authority is no argument at all. You need to start really listening to what pundits like Levin say and track their positions and consistency over time. Ol Rush too. It is really interesting.

Just dropping by with a video found last night after the debate
It’s from 1991 when Trump was called before congress
Doesn’t really matter who your candidate is. With the economy tanking thought it appropriate for all to watch
