Ted Cruz talks about the differences between himself and Donald Trump

After hearing some hostile comments about New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo spoke to NY1 this morning and blasted the comments made by Ted Cruz during last night’s GOP debate in SC.

“I apologize to all of the African-American children who Mayor de Blasio tried to throw out of their charter schools that were providing a lifeline to the America dream”, Cruz said. He apologized to the New Yorkers who are “pro-life and pro-marriage and pro-second amendment who were told by Gov. Cuomo they have no place in NY”. “I doubt he’ll do it, not that we need it, not that it would mean all that much, but if he really thinks he is even close to the business of being able to govern that’s what he would do”.

But the Cruz comments, in addition to prompting Cuomo’s calls, sparked a day-long Twitter frenzy and lengthy cable news coverage and analysis of the talk.

Cruz reportedly suggested that Trump’s attacks came in response to a new poll that showed him losing in a head-to-head competition with the senator.

“I’m gonna say, and I know people are gonna scratch there heads and go, ‘what?’ but I don’t you can”, Steele said to radio host Rich Zeoli on 1210 WPHT when asked if someone could stop Donald Trump.

“We took a loan against our assets to invest it in that campaign to defend ourselves against those attacks and the entire New York Times attack is that I disclosed that loan on one filing with the United States Senate”, he said, ABC News reported.

“Those are what NY values are, ‘” Cruz said of Trump.

“You know, I think most people know exactly what NY values are”, the candidate said. But if that is the best hit New York Times has got, they better go back to the well.

“[Cruz] has insulted a lot of people”.

“He explained that his views were that he was very pro-choice, he supported partial birth abortion, he was open to gay marriage, and his explanation for that, he said ‘I’m a New Yorker, I’m from Manhattan”. The tale has become part of a campaign narrative of a populist, scrappy Mr. Cruz putting everything on the line to overcome a wealthy establishment opponent.

‘I was disappointed by your disparaging remarks about NY values somehow being different from Iowa and New Hampshire values, ‘ Smith wrote.

He added that New Yorkers are focused “around money and the media”.
