(9,766 posts)MARIA BARTIMROMO: Sen. Cruz, you suggested that Donald Trump, quote, embodies "New York values."
Could you explain what you mean by that.
TED CRUZ: I think most people know what that means.
BARTIROMO: I'm from New York, I don't.
TED CRUZ: You're from New York so you might not...
Everyone understands that the values in New York City are socially liberal, pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, focus around money and the media.
My friend Donald has taken to playing at his events, "Born in the USA."
And I was asked what I thought of that. If he wanted to play a song, maybe he could play "New York, New York."

Not too many years ago, Donald did a long interview with Tim Russert, and in that interview he explained his views on a whole host of issues, that were very, very different from the views hes describing now. And his explanation, he said, look, Im from New York, thats what we believe in New York. Those arent Iowa values, but this is what we believe in New York. And so, that was his explanation.
I guess I can frame it another way, not a lot of conservatives come out of Manhattan. Im just saying.
