“Actually it’s a good thing”. I think it’s sad.

Cruz doesn’t think much of New York’s media, either: He boasted during the debate of his poor relationship with the New York Times, after the paper caught him failing to disclose a $1 million loan from his wife’s employer, Goldman Sachs.

“Despite the ever present danger and warnings of further attacks, like the people of London did in the 1940s and the people of Israel for their entire history, New Yorkers are telling our enemies that they can not break our spirit”, Giuliani declared, or “our steadfast belief that the morality of our cause and the objective of our America will prevail”.

Ah, but there was Brooklyn-born moderator Maria Bartiromo at Thursday’s debate in SC, telling Cruz she didn’t know what he meant. I may have thought Trump had an off night-his attempt to smear Ted Cruz with a “birther” theory was embarrassing-but his supporters are undaunted.

Pressed on the point, Mr. Cruz then rang the Iowa conservative bells of “socially liberal or pro-abortion or pro-gay-marriage, focus around money and the media”. The Texan was asked about his “New York values” gibe, and he said with nearly a sneer that “you know, I think most people know exactly what NY values are”.
