“No New Yorker can vote for Kasich when he was in favor of NAFTA,” Trump said, referring to the former congressman’s votes, “when it has been a disaster for your state and this city.” 
 
 As he has for the last several days, Trump attacked Cruz for his earlier criticism of “New York values” as the embodiment of liberal politics. “By the way, Ted Cruz – Lyin’ Ted Cruz, Lyin’ Ted – is one of the great liars of all time,” he said.

 Nature of the Sample for New York
– In a deeply unfortunate gaffe for Donald Trump on the eve of New York's GOP primary, he managed to get the date of 9/11 wrong. "I was down there and I watched our police and our firemen, down on 7-11, down at the World Trade Center, right after it came down, and I saw the greatest people I've ever seen in action," he told a Monday night rally in Buffalo, NY, per the Hill. "I saw the bravest people I've ever seen, including the construction workers, including every person down there." Trump—who went on to slam "Lyin' Ted Cruz," "Crooked Hillary Clinton," and "stupid trade deals" like NAFTA—still received plenty of cheers from what the Buffalo News calls an "adoring" and wildly enthusiastic crowd at the First Niagara Center, where he was introduced by Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan. According to a Marist poll released on Saturday, Trump has a 29-point lead in New York, with 54% support to 25% for John Kasich. Ted Cruz is third with 16%. (Cruz was almost completely ignored when he spoke at the New York State Republican gala last week.)
