Nothing makes me puke more than conservatives invoking 9-11, but I must admit Trump destroyed Cruz by playing that card.
Trump card - literally

And Ted thinks Goldman Sachs’ money works just fine, tho.

Perhaps NYC does have liberal values, whatever that means, but why shouldn’t they? If that’s their choice…are they allowed to have them? Can you do that in America?

The lunatic Congressman from Iowa was loving Cruz’ attack on NY until Trump turned it against him by invoking 9/11–the hoariest Trump card in the GOP deck. I can just imagine the little wheels slowly turning inside King’s lizard brain:
“Ha! New York Values! Good one Ted! Take that, Trump!..wait, oh noes…he’s using 9/11 kryptonite! Who could have seen that coming?! That’s supposed to only be using against Demo-rats!! Aiyeeee!!!”

Add to that, Ted thinks Obamacare works just fine.
Everything works fine as long as it works fine for him but he still opposes anyway because that works fine too.

“I thought it was one of the times when you saw Donald Trump actually show you more of his heart than we’ve seen on the campaign trail,”
He could’ve really sold it if he had produced a single tear.

“I didn’t think he went too far until I saw it didn’t work.” Because that is the best measure of insults.

Not even one-dimensional checkers here. Sorry, but their intellectual capacity leaves a whole lot to be desired.

They can be the dumbest bastards on Earth, it doesn’t matter if they are winning elections.

If we’re talking about this already, what about the “values of the heartland”? Wasn’t there something about a ravaging meth epidemic? Where are the highest rates of teen pregnancies?

Steve King:
Some of those punches were below the belt when he brought up Sept. 11 because there’s no way to defend yourself from that. That wasn’t the topic.
Fuck you, King. That was exactly the topic. I’m a New Yorker, and when you criticize New York values, you’re criticizing the non-judgmental, liberal, live-and-let-live values that allow us to live together in such density, and that allow us to work together in times of crisis like 9/11 – instead of panicking over who’s gay, or transgendered, or what faith they belong to, or their the cultural background the way you divisive conservative jackasses do.

Thanks for that. I WAS a New Yorker for the first half of my life and being brought up with the values you describe made me what I am for which I’m grateful. (Looking skyward) “Thanks mom and dad and all the aunts and uncles.”

“Focus [is] around money…” says the greasy little paisley-robed shitstain whose wife works for Goldman Sachs, which just happens to be headquartered in New York City. That would be the same New York-based company that gave a low-interest loan to Cruz for his Texas Senate campaign.

The worst thing is knowing all three are discussing values in the abstract because they have none.

it was OK for Trump to use 9/11,
but it was not OK for Trump to use 9/11.
Got it.
“Some of those punches were below the belt when he brought up Sept. 11 because there’s no way to defend yourself from that. That wasn’t the topic. He just adopted it and brought it in,”
Yes, because it’s Trump’s responsibility to make sure debate champ Cruz doesn’t make an ass of himself on stage.
I’m sure on one level, Cruz admires what Trump did. They both know it’s basically a verbal, no holds barred, chair-smashing WWE event.
