Trump warned that candidates like Cruz would hire “political hacks” in their administrations.
During the debate in Charleston, South Carolina, on Thursday night (local time), Mr Cruz questioned the conservativeness of fellow candidate Donald Trump, who has spent much of his life in the city.
And now he is tying the bank loan storyline to Cruz’s recent critique that Trump represents “New York values”, an all-encompassing insult understood by residents in more rural, conservative states like Iowa and SC.
Cruz has raised $490,600 from New Yorkers, his presidential campaign finance filings show. Ted Cruz, by name during a town hall-style meeting in Johnston, Iowa, the first of four scheduled campaign appearances Saturday. He also FORGOT to file his Goldman Sachs Million $ loan papers. He’s now tightened the space between him and Cruz in Iowa.
I’m very pro choice. “Throughout our nation’s history, NY has been the gateway to opportunity and the driver of the American Dream – both for people born here, and those born on other shores who come here to achieve that magnificent Dream”.
The growing feud between Republican front-runner Donald Trump and his central rival Ted Cruz intensified on Saturday with tit-for-tat attacks that put to rest any notion that their debate night fight was a solitary engagement.
Trump admitted in Thursday’s debate that he only brought up the issue because of Cruz’s rise in the polls.
Deb Kadar-Hull, a Trump supporter, said she didn’t like what Cruz said about NY at the debate. Cruz said those values – pro-abortion rights, including supporting partial birth abortion and pro-gay marriage – explained Trump’s world view.
Trump made the comments while attending former Massachusetts Sen.
The New York Times further reported that Cruz described Trump as having a “lot of nervous energy”.
He returned to the subject in an interview with CNN, taped for broadcast on Sunday, saying: “I thought it was very, very insulting”.
After a campaign event Friday in Columbia, S.C., Cruz was asked if he planned to apologize. “I apologize to the millions of New Yorkers who have been let down by liberal politicians in that state”.
“I apologize to all the pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-Second Amendment New Yorkers who were told by Gov. Cuomo that they have no place in New York because that’s not who New Yorkers are”, he said.
“After all we have been through as a city and as one undivided nation, to have a United States senator running for President paint New York as a city consumed with greed, sin and media obsession is shocking”, Giuliani writes in the New York Daily News.
