They were kind enough to direct the Cruz party to the correct Train to leave the Bronx.

Special snowflakes think they are special. Indoctrination complete!

Now that they need votes, they go begging for people to vote for them in the NE. Cruz never thought he would be needing NY. He always thought he would win the whole South and the midwest.
I can't wait for Cruz to get destroyed in NY. He can take his behind back to TX. I'm not a Trump fan, but I despise people like Cruz. They are destroying the country.
Ted Cruz was critical of the emergency relief for the Northeastern states because only 30% of the authorized funds would be spent in the first 20 months, and over a billion dollars would be spent as late as 2021. It's not 'emergency relief' if it's taking almost 10 years to spend it; it's just pork.

Even Politifact conceded that the Hurricane Sandy emergency relief bill contained billions of dollars that had nothing to do with emergency relief.

With Regard to the 9/11 Health Bill. The Republican Senators were willing to sign the bill as long as the amendments they proposed were also passed.

I love how you Cruz haters dis Cruz for not working with Congress, yet, his vote on this bill was no different than all the other Republican Senators.

Sometimes it pays to read the entire language of the bill in question and review what amendments were submitted to add to or limit the bills.

Much of this hyperbole is just that. Claiming Cruz hates First Responders because he voted against a bill that ALL the Senate Republicans voted against is once again just a disingenuous lie from the Sleazy Don acolytes.

Oh, I have more. He's pro choice, he supports the LGBT community and he's very soft on illegal immigration. None of those are Republican values, those are liberal NY values. He's basically a liberal, just like Trump.

This might have mattered in 2003. Nobody cares about Giuliani now--he is an irrelevant also-ran and not terribly popular.

Jeb got more endorsements than any of the current candidates. Didn't matter a whole lot, and it doesn't matter when some has-been politico endorses someone now.

How about an endorsement sticky so there is not a headline every time any Tom, Dick or Harry endorses someone?

He likely still matters among downstate NY Republicans, especially older ones. That's where the upcoming primary is. Doubt it's a coincidence he announced two weeks before the NY primary.

Word is that he will head Homeland security in the Trump administration, couldn't ask for a better choice.

I'm sure we will get a bunch of BS from people who know nothing of NYC. They can all suck it, Giuliani will be remembered as one of this city's best and chief architect of its revival.
I am a native New Yorker and you are correct Giuliani was an excellent mayor. yes all the know it all whom are not from NYC will have a lot to say .
