Trump Stuns Cruz Into Silence During ‘New York Values’ Fight

Trump embraced the attack, saying during an interview with radio host Howie Carr on Wednesday that the word “energy” represents NY. NY is a great place, it’s got great people, it’s got loving people, wonderful people. The city rebuilt the World Trade Center after it had been hit, he said. The cover read “God Isn’t Fixing This” and included tweets from GOP presidential candidates – Cruz among them – and House Speaker Paul Ryan. Trump said in an interview with Bloomberg. “But it rings pretty odd once you know of his history with at least two big NY banks”.

Even if Cruz wins Iowa and cleans up in the SEC states, he’s likely to lead fairly narrowly over the rest of the field because of the proportional awards there. “I’ve had more calls on that statement that Ted made”. In April, Cruz held a fundraiser at the apartment of a gay businessman in NY, where Cruz took a reportedly moderate stance on LGBTQ issues while accepting their money.

But Trump shot back that Cruz wasn’t right. The 9/11 line he uses in the clip is good too, of course, although he could go further if he wants. “I think it’s sad, I think its disturbing for all Americans”, he said on CNN’s New Day. The media would go batsh*t if Donald Trump gave conservative ogre Ted Cruz a dressing down on national television for being insufficiently respectful of multiculturalism, especially if he praised their home base of NYC in doing so. You can probably guess which one.

The city’s other tabloid, the New York Post, also confronted Cruz on his “New York values” dig.

It was a reference to Trump telling Iowans that not many evangelicals come out of Cuba, where Cruz’s father is from.
