U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz never misses a chance to take a shot at his No. 1 rival Republican rival, Donald Trump.

After hearing some hostile comments about New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo spoke to NY1 this morning and blasted the comments made by Ted Cruz during last night’s GOP debate in SC.
Trump nailed Cruz at the debate, saying his comments were an insult to everyone in NY who endured the terrorist attacks of September 11: “When the World Trade Center came down, I saw something that no place on Earth could have handled more beautifully, more humanely than NY”.
The Texas senator has slammed Trump for embodying “New York values”, including during Thursday’s Fox Business Network debate. Trump continues to question where Cruz was born and if he’s eligible to be president.
“The next time Senator Cruz is fundraising in Manhattan, I invite him to come to my district, where he can meet real New Yorkers, and maybe then he will think twice about wrongly insulting the integrity of the people I am so proud to call my fellow citizens”, Donovan said in a statement. “I apologize to the millions of New Yorkers who’ve been let down by liberal politicians”.
Trump moves on to New Hampshire for an event Saturday but will be back in Iowa next Tuesday for events in Winterset and Ames.
“Of course NY is mostly Democrat, right?”
Asked if he wanted to say he was sorry, Cruz instead laid out things for which he’d rather apologize, CNN reports.
Immediately after Thursday’s debate, Mr Trump told journalists at the media centre: “I guess the bromance is over”.
Cruz and Trump are caught in an escalating war of words as they battle for support in the early voting states. The one-page letter, obtained by The New York Times, said both loans were “inadvertently omitted” from the required filings.
Trump has slipped in the polls in Iowa, with many recent voter surveys putting Cruz in front there. “I find it very ironic that Ted Cruz went running to Goldman Sachs when he needed a big loan”, he said, referring to headlines about loans previously undisclosed by Cruz that coincided with his 2012 Senate campaign.
“Excuse me, excuse me”, Trump said nervously, as the audience continued to boo. “I think in terms of a commander in chief, we ought to have someone who isn’t springing out of bed to tweet in a frantic response to the latest polls”.
