Tensions rose early in last night’s GOP presidential debate, as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz attacked billionaire Donald Trump’s “New York values.”
And while sparks continued to fly between the two men, pundits say that other candidates like Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie had breakout moments of their own.
Now we want to hear your opinion. Vote on who you think won the debate last night below:
Main Street says
Sure places like NYC, Boston and Philly have some unsavory characters in politics. However, historically the northeast has also given us some great leaders like FDR, John Adams, JFK, Hancock, Franklin, Coolidge, Paul Revere, Sam Adams, Myles Standish etc. to say the least ,.Even old man Bush was born in the Boston area. His son was born in Connecticut. Our nation was founded by folks from the northeast. Plymouth Rock, The Boston Massacre, Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, Saratoga etc. One could arguably say that our nations founding was influenced on northeast values. Look at the list of Congressional Medal of Honor recipients from the Northeast. Far more than from the south or southwest US. The crime rates are lower in the northeast states too. I’ve seen plenty of boastful and less than ethical folks from Ole Dixie and Texas. Look at Billy Clinton. However, I wouldn’t be ignorant to say that those folks reflect southern culture. Cruz is wrong on this one.
Marc Richet says
It’s not the people in the entire Northeast that most mid-Westerners and Southerners are thinking about when they say ‘New York Values’.
It’s the arrogant, ‘think-their-sh*t-don’t-stink’ attitude that comes across when
taking with ‘some’ New Yorkers. It’s the “new York attitude” that anything west of the Hudson is still wild Indian country.
I’ve lived in Manhattan (6th & University + 1 Fifth avenue + the Chelsea) and got along well with most people I came in contact with at work and play. However, there was an edginess and hardness that also showed in talking with these same people. And when I returned to Chicago, I felt like I had returned to an easier, softer and more friendly way of life.
SO people outside New York have a ‘feeling’ about “new Your values” that a “New Yorker” could not understand.
Main Street says
I respect your opinion. However, plenty of those types in Houston, Atlanta too. It’s a part of the human condition.
Main Street says
@ Marc: You talk about New Yorkers having a limited opinion of other states. I have a friend in California who has relatives in New Hampshire. He actually thought that N.H. has no airports and that the only way to get there was to fly into Hartford, CT and to take a “puddle jumper” to a dirt airstrip. I guess he never heard of NYC, Albany, Boston or even Manchester, N.H.’s airports. Or even bus lines. I’ve found that Bostonians take the prize for parochialism. General Electric is moving it’s world HQ to Boston. Some of the Boston papers and politicians actually stated that this means NYC is no longer the big deal in the northeast. I’ve stayed in working class Irish, Italian and Jewish area in the Bronx. I found the people to be welcoming. I think that poor attitudes can be found universally.
Cynthia Miley says
I agree, Poor attitudes ARE FOUND UNIVERSALLY.
Lois Dickinson says
Frankly, it’s the arrogant attitude of some of the candidates that’s turning me off. Dr. Ben Carson is the one I like ’cause he can make good sense without outshouting and interrupting all the other candidates. I’d like a President I can be proud of in touchy situations.
Lois Wenk says
You forgot most of us in the West feel like you. We really exist. By the way to clairify Washington is a state DC is the national capital.
Lois Wenk says
Trump is a Slave Owner. That is disgusting.
Awake says
You’re uneducated. That’s disgusting!!
shirley long says
Cruz might be right or wrong in his polished ways, who really cares, when we have the slugger!!??
THE BEST!!
Hang in there Trump you are gonna make the loop !!
Lois Wenk says
Trump is arrogant. a slanderer, not a Christian, woman hater, racial bigot, economic bigot, anti semetic, disrespectful, thrower of temper tantrums and unfit to be president.
Roe says
and childish
Awake says
Sounds like you’re jealous of his lavish lifestyle ?
you TOO, can line like HIM!! It takes WORK though!! And determination.
Trump wants Americans to thrive and prosper. He wants every American to have a JOB!!
He wants YOU!!-to work for a living
Make America great again!!
Lovin’ Trump!!
President Trump 2016!!
Can’t wait!!
Woohoo!! And HILLARY behind BARS!! Yeah baby!!!
Linda says
If trump wants all people to have jobs , why did he want them to fire the bast— who installed his microphone ? It wasn’t the mike. He did not know to stand back from it, instead of on top of it. A lot of us believe he is a pawn for the Clinton’s. Put in there to get Hillary elected or to do their bidding if he gets elected. Wake up people! You are all falling for the same type person we have in there now, a narcissist.
Awake says
woman hater?
Wow !!! You have NO CLUE as to what you are saying. Wake up !!!
Trump is a shining star!! I can’t wait until he is Americas next president. He is going to be awesome!!!!!! Counting down the days, til Obammy and his clan are GONE!!!!
Trump 2016!!!!!
Cynthia Miley says
WOOHOO!!!
desmond pinheiro says
trump was outstanding he knows what is happening here and all over the world he will make a good leader for this nation he will get results he is also vey fair and will bring America back for the world to respect I like how he handle problems so to speak
Bob says
Trump is the man for the job of President. Why is Cruz in the race he is not Qualified. He is a derivative citizen of the US and can’t be president.
Lois Wenk says
Not what I have seen get a clue. He is king of double standers.
Cynthia Miley says
Don’t you mean Standards?
Awake says
Sadly, Lois doesn’t know what she means. Lmao
tom says
really Lois, trump is a slave owner. Bill Clinton had quite a harem of female slaves didn’t he!! Don’t open your mouth to wide your head might disappear, listen to Trump like I have for over 20 years, he has his stink together, in many matters, foreign and domestic. Like him or not elected or not he is a world leader, respected by many, not by few. Remember Hillary lied 4 died
JOYCE DOZIER says
BEN CARSON IS A CHRISTIAN MAN AND THAT’S WHAT AMERICA NEEDS. GOD BACK IN OUR LIFE’S AND FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION….
Awake says
Maybe he can became a preacher man?
Carson is a wonderful surgeon. Not presidential material. Sorry!!
Al says
Last time I looked Ben Carson is Mormon not Christian.
teddura says
looks like its over trump is the one ! GO TRUMP BUILD THAT WALL. PUT SMILEY FACES EVERY 100 YARDS ON THE MEXICAN SIDE, CAUSE IT SUCKS TO BE THEM!
curuz and rubio going away- not eligible !!
Hugiaino says
Didn’t you listen last night? If Rubio is not eligible, neither is Trump.
Surly Curmudgen says
Wrong ! Trump’s mother became a naturalized citizen in 1942 and Donald was born in 1946 so he is a natural born citizen. Rubio however was born before either of his parents became US citizens so he is not natural born and can not serve as POTUS.
Cruz was born before his father became a US citizen and was born on Canadian soil so he is not natural born and can not serve as POTUS.
Julio says
If you do some research you’ll find that Rubio is an establishment neo con. Look it up
JOYCE DOZIER says
TRUMP IS A HATEFUL MAN AND IF HE GET IN ALL YOU PEOPLE ARE LIKE HIM AND THAT’S REALLY SAD … HE TALKS ABOUT THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER. IT’S ALL HATE.
Awake says
Trump loves America. I love America.
Therefore TRUMP has MY VOTE!!
Awake says
Exactly!!!!
Ted says
Hey! Where is the “none of the above” option???
Wehms says
Ted, Ted…..you’re the voice of reason!! What’re you doing on here…????. How about Rand Paul? Is he (well….and me) the only person that believes we shouldn’t be running around the Globe CREATING ENEMIES when we can’t even afford to take care of the problems we have here without PRINTING MONEY TO PAY THE INTEREST ON THE INTEREST on the money we’ve borrowed from China. ????
Valerie says
Amen Wehms!
William Scott says
TRUMP WILL TRIUMPH!!!!! 2016
Charles says
Every candidate on that platform last night could beat Hillary.
Let’s say they are way more qualified and ” clean”. While Hillary is way less than ” clean”.
If every American citizen would actually read Mr. Trumps book ” Art Of The Deal: they would
know that he is the only candidate that could get things done. He is brilliant , a fighter and a winner.
Read his book.
Hugiaino says
I agree that every candidate on that platform last night would do a better job than Hillary. Whether they can actually beat Hillary will depend on whether we unite around whoever becomes the Republican nominee. Personally, I’m in favor of Cruz but I’ll vote for Trump if he’s nominated.
I truly wish the Trump supporters would pledge to vote for Cruz if he’s nominated. Except for not emphasizing more forcefully that he was referring to the dominance of Leftist ideas in NYC, he handled all the objections well last night. But Trump has made similar errors by insulting women and Carly, in particular.
Ok. So what do we do about it? How can we get conservatives united? We can gripe and moan or we can fight. We can fight the wrong way or the right way. (See “War Room.”)
Please join Ted Cruz’ Sunday school teacher on Tuesday mornings to pray that God blesses our country exceeding abundantly above all we can ask or think. Sign up for the conference call at https://www.tedcruz.org/pray/
We can try to fix everything ourselves or we can work with God and let Him do the heavy lifting. After all, He is the only one who can change hearts. He is the only one who can give each of us Ephesians 3:20 days and years!
Lois Wenk says
I do not want another Obama Trump is just like him. I’m for Carson. If Cruz makes the mistake of taking Trump as a vice president I won’t vote for him. I believe Trump wants to be president so bad he would kill Cruz and have it look like an accident. Or use the same people H Clinton did. Cruz is a good man & I don’t believe in murder.
Dot says
Trump is not a conservative. He has a history of being liberal and it isn’t easy to change that much. I agree that he is too much
like the Clintons and he is out to kill Cruz, if not physically, he is certainly making sure that Cruz is crucified as a person. It seemed to be the total intent of last night’s debate–destroy Cruz. Even Rubio did not tell the truth about Cruz. If they keep it up we will have Hillary as President!
Sue says
There is absolutely nothing in common between Trump and Obama. Every time Obama opens his mouth, he tells lies. Trump has not lied to Americans yet. Obama does not respect the armed services; Trump does. Obama does not know how many states are in the US or how long the US has existed. Obama wants more Muslims to enter the US, even terrorists; Trump wants to stop visa’s for terrorists or Muslims without valid documentation. Obama doesn’t protect US borders; Trump will. Obama promotes lawlessness; Trump will stop it. Obama is a coward; Trump is strong and loves America enough to forgo business interests and bravely pushes for rebuilding America. Need I go on?
HM says
I like Trump and believe that he is sincere when he says that he wants America to be great again, but in keeping an open mind, I have to say that Ohio’s John Kasich, if you paid attention, said pretty much what Trump said but in a more subtle and non-threatening way; he comes from blue collar and knows the struggles of the American people and is firm and fearless, and knows that in order to make America great again, we have to unite the country, I am OK with either one or better yet both.
Awake says
Are you on something?? Seriously?? You need to get a grip!!!
Trump is pro America!!!
Trump will be the best president that America has ever had!!!!
Trump 2016!!!!!
Awake says
God sent TRUMP to make America. great again!!!!
Cruz is not eligible. And Hilary is going to the slammer baby.
TRUMP 2016!!
God Bless America!! Thank GOD for Trump!!!!!

I agree Charles!!!

They all suck anyone with a brain will see Hillary is the only qualified person to win . If you think the minorities don’t count look at Mitt The twit . You cant win without the minority vote. DO YOU GET IT Trump has already screwed himself here.
Wendyfarroer says
Give me a break, being a woman, Hillary could not stand up to her husband, destroying the morals, and if Hillary has not back bone against Bill, how in the devil will she have the backbone to stand up for our Country, ?? She is a wimp and expects all women to be wimps. !!
weary conservative says
Not to mention that time after time, she’s promised to continue Obama’s agenda if elected president, which of course she will NOT be. Never fear, hillary rotten clinton will NEVER be president of these United States of America.
Jay Bell says
I agree with you–Hillary has SERIOUS legal problems that we will be hearing a lot about over the next couple of months. The story is just beginning to break. 1) She knowingly sent classified material (at last count, 1,340 emails) over an unsecured private server–thus endangering her country’s security as probably a reasonably talented, computer-savvy, high school student could have hacked it. THEY PROSECUTE PEOPLE FOR LEAVING A CLASSIFIED DOCUMENT ON THEIR DESKS OVERNIGHT! She would have been well aware of what she is doing because EVERY government employee who deals with classified documents is briefed extensively on what is and is not permitted. She ALSO implicated herself because she retained many of the documents on her private server and she signed a document that stated she had returned all materials to the U.S. government when she left the SoS office in 2012.
2) She and Billy-boy are now being investigated for the fact that NINE corporations who gave large donations to the Clinton Foundation (which is nothing more than a way for the Clintons to receive ill-gotten gains) and were given preferential treatment by the State Department under Hillary.
The FBI currently has 150 agents working on both tracks of the investigation. Check out the reports on Fox News. The FBI is not in the habit of applying so many resources to a case unless they believe they have a good chance of getting an indictment. Legal experts say that the FBI will be presenting the case to the Attorney General within 60-90 days. Many Dem-watchers say that Joe Biden has been told to get ready to run if Hillary is indicted.
Jackel says
Obviously, once again you Libs like the most crooked scum you can find for POTUS. Can you imagine her as Commander & Chief protecting your family ? The Clinton’s hate the military. Bill was under Federal Indictment for draft dodging and Peanut Jimmy forgave him.
Wehms says
Well……I guess I’m a “lib.” I don’t like crooked Politicians……but it seems that’s the only options we’re “allowed(?)”. Every Democrat I know wanted to vote for Ron Paul……BUT…the dammed Republicans in charge” would not allow him the nomination!!! So it s not a question of who we vote “for” so much as we find ourselves voting against the one we hate more and stuck with the one we hate the least……
Obama sucks, true. But his main problem that divided the Country was his “pigmentation problem.” The Republicans hated him more than they love America…..they’d rather destroy the Country than try and help him succeed…..they’re supposed to work together……growing up, I was taught something we used to call “sportsmanship!!!” (Look it up if you need to) if your reject the winner….you’re spitting in faces of every American that voted for him…….and you want peace in the World…..good luck with that.
Jeremiah Wright was wrong…..God doesn’t need to damn America……we’ve done it to ourselves!!!!
Treva Bennett says
The GOP wanted to work with Obama but it was his way or no way. How can you compromise with that kind of attitude? They gave up and who wouldn’t?
weary conservative says
If it’s really true that variety is the spice of life, it’s nice to know we still have uninformed damned fools like you to add the needed flavor.
Jim says
But she is a Democrat, and morons vote for Democrats. Obama is proof of that.
Jackel says
Yea, this is her latest ad summation. In other words, the former secretary of state could simply say in her ad: “Protect ISIS — Vote Hillary 2016!”

Tita Avi says
Trump was a real leader @last night’s debate. He showed leadership, compassion/sincerity to make the USA great, safe and respected. Cruz is toast esp. in NY after his NY value remark!
Hugiaino says
Cruz made it clear that he was referring to the dominance of Leftist ideas in NYC, not the character of the people. If Cruz is toast because of his remark, then surely The Donald is toast because of his insults to women (a larger group than NYC) and to Carly, in particular!
Lois Wenk says
New York is only a state. So small it is in size counties could be bigger.
Sue says
I really thought Republicans were smarter than to back a blusterous, elitist real estate tycoon like Donald Trump. His speeches will not go down in history. He certainly isn’t an orator. He is just a name caller when someone criticizes him. He isn’t even a real Conservative or a Republican. He has donated to Pelosi, Reid and the Clintons. He has been a friend of the Clintons. They attended his last wedding. The “Donald” is just for himself. If he is the nominee, we will certainly get Hillary as the next President. Wise up, Republicans NOW!
Gary in New York says
Way to go Trump!!! Your statement made my proud to be a New Yorker. No doubt this will guarantee you winning New York was the time comes. Aside from that your statement on how to do business with China went right over the heads of the other candidates. You understanding business principles and having negotiating skills, this is what our country needs. Not “four more years” of going deeper into debt. TRUMP 2016

Joanne says
Trump has been my man since the beginning. He’s a builder, surrounds himself with intelligent people, a good negotiator and has so many other fine attributes. Beats having a community organizer any day.
Hugiaino says
Yes, he beats the community organizer. But he’s a casino builder, owner, promoter; i.e., a gambler. He’s used to corruption. Where are his values? Where are his principles? Will he actually be for American citizens or will he still be only for Donald Trump?
Jacs says
No one person can turn the country around, the current president tried this when he first took office, but was shouted down by republicans and his own party. As an example, he wanted no more lobbyists in Washington, but that’s who gets all of them elected and re-elected, so that didn’t last long. Mr. Trump obviously has no respect for women, Ivana and Marla can attest to that, who would work for someone like him for a dollar a year and all the dresses she wants? Wow. Then there is the bankruptcy record, I will bet that all the companies that were stiffed in Trump reorganizations aren’t going to vote for him either. Do you think China will allow us to file for BK? I cannot trust anyone that disrespects half of the world’s population and files BK on others to save himself. Does this sound like a man that can fix our country’s money troubles?
Joanne says
I don’t understand why everyone likes Trump because he just say things that you want to hear. He is a businessman but he is no politician and he was never went to war. I think if you vote for that baster you are a damn fool because if he gets into office you know he will start telling you a lot of lies. With this Freedom of Speech in America is nothing but a damn joke. I know one think I will never vote for Donald the Grump Trump. He does have a big month and I believe he would do or say anything to be the President and if he is does become the President this is one person won’t call him President.
Jim says
What do you call the idiot in office now? your Lord and Savior?

Hi and good morning to you American people. I love how Mr Donald Trump handle the honest and trustworthy. He was going great last night. Go Trump. Hillary and Obama clubs are going down the drain. I can’t wait for Mr Donald Trump in the white house. Vote for Mr Donald Trump all the way. He is the will power and gentlemen. I hope he will take care of Hillary and Obama clubs very soon. Put them in the jail.
Please continue to vote for Mr Donald trump. He will be the best president of U.S. of America for our American country. God Bless you, your family and American people.
sausages1955 says
Rand Paul “won” this so called debate (how can you debate without all voices being considered?) by simply not participating. It seems to have been ONLY a slug fest between the establishment (even Chump and Cruz) to attack each other’s character. There was NO substantive discussion of policies since ALL of these candidates are for the same ones.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/debate
Spend, spend, spend. Bomb, bomb, bomb. That is “debate”?
Diana says
Joanne, You may not like Trump but what do you like about Obama? What do you like about Hillary? Trump does not owe anyone anything. The GOP is crazy for not giving him every ounce of support they can. THEY ARE AFRAID OF HIM BECAUSE HE CANNOT BE CONTROLLED.He is a brilliant human being who will surround himself with other brilliant human beings that tell it like it is.Staff members who will do the very best that can possibly be done to correct the extensive damage that has been done by 8 years of Obama’s “CHANGE”. How do you all who voted for OBAMA like our CHANGE? With Trump you get the truth and guess what? HE ACTUALLY LOVES THIS COUNTRY AND HIS WIFE WILL NOT HAVE TO BE SENT TRAVELING AROUND THE GLOBE IN ORDER FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO NOT NOTICE HER DISDAIN FOR AMERICA AND HER CITIZENS. BACK TRUMP AND I AM TALKING TO THE GOP. If you do not back Trump here is one active party member who will no longer hold ofice or have anything to do with a Republican organization. I will go Independent. I blame the Republican party for our last 8 years of Obama. You did not do your research and homework.You did not fight hard enough. Now your fighting the very best candidate who is leading in the polls harder than you fought Obama. Shame on you. Back TRUMP!

He is Chaos and he is building MORE hate in this Country than what there is and we DO NOT need anymore hate in OUR Country… He didn’t even know what was Nulear Traid was.. He was stumped.. And that is a big thing to know.
I STAND WITH RAND PAUL until the end.
Dewayne Cargill says
New Yorker’s do have an attitude that is off-putting to the majority of the Country, particularly the high society types of New York and so-called cosmopolitan areas . The rest of the Country to them is just “flyover country”. I will say New York fire fighters, police officers, and military types are no different than those in other parts of the country. This is because first responders and military types are a different breed of people. They live in the real world. The high society, media, Hollywood, academia, and the career student types continue to live their lives as members of their “rich-kid high school clique”.
James Neal says
I did not see last nights debate. Nor have I seen any of them. Although….let me say…everyone has a mindset…and collectively …this country has a mindset…. unfortunately… it’s pre adolescent. How much more do we want to become; fat, lazy, and totally incapable of independent thought? D.C is party land central, got the place away from home, diplomatic immunity, prostitutes on the sidewalk at our expense. If you don’t put your hand in the kitty, you won’t last. Wake up and smell the scum that the personal agenda, greedy politicians have turned us into. The rest of the world justifiably hates us. We’re the worlds biggest terrorist nation. We kill more than anyone else. We kill our own more in the name of lies of freedom. Which interpreted means…more money for those who benefit from war. I’m a blue collar, mans man, and I am as polite and respectful as any with my co-workers. However, if a sudden downpour occurs or we’re running out of daylight, then the pace, the formalities, etc. disappear. It’s what it takes to get what needs to be done. So…if you any of you can’t understand Trumps’ , “lack of bedside manners” then you obviously are in the mindset our country is in (drone clones), it’s what they love. And, you obviously never worked to know… where we are… and what needs to be done. Give this man a chance to tell it like it is and to do what needs to be done. If not….then we will surely continue on this regression from a country that used to stand for something. Thanks for the chance to voice.

Being a Texan, I thought Ted knew how to avoid stepping in cow paddies, but last night Ol’ Ted really stepped in it.. and on his pingo as well when he made the New York comment. Really out of line and in bad taste. From the look on his face, I think he realized he had made a big error.
Jean Craig says
I AM A VERY CONSERATIVE CHRISTIAN. I CARE NOT THAT TRUMP HAD DEMOCRAT FRIENDS, WHAT CHURCH HE GOES TO. I WANT A WALL BUILT, I WANT THE MUSLIMS SENT HoME. I WANT JOBS CREATED, I WANTS SOCIAL SECURITY SAVED, I WANT THE ISIS DESTROYED. THESE ARE THE THINGS TRUMP SAYS HE WILL DO. I BELIEVE HE WILL DO THEM ARE TRY HIS BEST TO DO IT. HE IS A MAN WHO GETS THINGS DoNE, KNOWS ABOUT BUSINESS BETTER THEN ANYONE RUNNING. LOVES THIS COUNTRY. IT IS EVIDENT THAT OBAMA IS A MUSLIM WHO HATES THIS COUNTRY AND HILLARY IS A WITCH WHO JUST WANTS POWER ANYWAY SHE CAN GE IT. SHE SPIT ON A US SOLDIER’S GRAVE, IT WAS ON TV. SHE SHOULD BE SHOT FOR THAT ALONE NOT EVEN CONSIDERING THAT SHE LEFT PEOPLE TO DIE BECAUSE SHE WOULD NOT SEND HELP AND SHE IS A LIER AND AN ENABLER. .ANYONE WHO VOTES FOR OBAM or hillallry is a fool, a muslm or hates this country. I am 87 years old. I was bOrn a democrat but the democrats became the repulicans years. IF HILLARY OR SANDERS (AN ADMITTED SOCIALIST) WINS THIS COUNTRY IS OVER AS AMERICA. IT WILL BE A COMMUNIST COUNTRY. IF YOU RE FOR THAT WHY NOT JUST MOVE AND TAKE YOUR DOG WITH YOU. BE AMERICAN STAND UP FOR THE PEOPLE , FOR VETERANS TO GET MEDICAL HELP THEY NEED. TO GET RID OF ILLEGALS WO HAVE BROKE THIS COUNTRY WITH WELFARE. STOP MUSLIMS FROM COMING IN REGARLESS OF ISIS WE CASN NOT AFFORD TOSUPPORT THEM. TAKE CARE OF AMERICANS, WE CAN NOT TAKE CARE OF THE WORLD ANYMORE.

Trump 2016!!! He loves America and knows how to make it great again after OBama tried to take it down!
What part of that don’t you understand? My goodness, some of you must need to pay more attention!
Let’s vote for a man who loves this country for a change….Obama does not love this country and does not want to
see our great country prosper. Let’s see, why do I want Trump to be my president? He loves this country, knows
how business works, and has experience with business dealings. Our country needs a man with his skills, now.
and will know how to negotiate to get what we need. He is ‘for’ America. Not ‘against’ America, as Obama is!
That is why I want Trump to be our next President!

Mr Trump doesn’t want the job but he has to do it because of what America has become under Mr Obama and his administration. We want to elect somebody who doesn’t want the job of president. We do not want a Pelosi, Reid, Clinton, Obama, Schumer, Feinstein or any bleeding heart Liberal as POTUS because all they want is the power and self enrichment. We want Donald Trump as POTUS because he wants to serve WE the people and America.

Well said, Alien Chronicles.

re: Cruz’ “New York values” moment. It was a real “look down your nose” moment by Harvard-educated, Ted–and even people in the Midwest and South will not like the way it came out. If he had said something like “…the liberal elites of New York City do not reflect real American values..” and then tried to compare Trump to them, he might have been on much safer ground. People say that Trump puts his foot in his mouth but that remark by Cruz takes the cake for bone-headedness. And Trump’s outstanding response will likely boost his popularity even more. The rank and file, working class voters that make up a large portion of GOP voters, don’t like conservative elitists any more than they like liberal elitists. Combined with Cruz’ cozy (and hypocritical) relationship with the “too-big-to-fail” banks and his uncertain eligibility status, I don’t understand why anyone wants to see him win the nomination. I find him a bit smarmy.

Al, You need to get your facts straight before you publish them on the internet. Ben Carson is NOT a Mormon. He is a Seventh-day Adventist Christian. This church is a Bible-based Protestant denomination.
