New Yorkers are getting worked up about the wrong thing: Don’t be angry that Ted Cruz mocked Donald Trump and his «New York values.» Be angry that he suggested that Donald Trump has “New York values.”
Yes, Donald Trump’s birth certificate (and I don’t care if it’s the long form one or not) says he was born in the city, but nothing he has said since this campaign started suggests that he’s a real New Yorker.
And we all know good it feels to be called a New Yorker.
LUPICA: JUST NO VALUE TO CRUZ’S ‘NEW YORK’ COMMENT

It feels good to be thought of as an embodiment of this great town — one walking one-eight-millionth of it. To be called a New Yorker is to be called special. It’s important to us.
It’s a badge of honor but it’s one that we pay for because it’s tough to live here: it’s expensive and it’s inconvenient and it’s uncomfortable.
So we’re not letting anyone take that name for free. We’re not letting any old Sun Belt sandbagger with a tan and a car and a robust 401K slap it on his chest because he once spent a summer at his aunt’s place in Yonkers, like one of those tacky guys who goes to England and pays to be called the “Lord” of a made-up duchy.
