Punchlines: In New York, Kasich and Cruz as unpopular as ever
In the fight for New York votes, there are no easy wins on either side of the political aisle.
But heading into today's primary, it's clear that two presidential candidates have had a harder time than all the rest when it comes to making nice with voters in the Big Apple. Republican Ted Cruz made the mistake of slamming New York values long before primary votes in the city were a concern. But New Yorkers haven't forgotten. And the candidate has sent his wife to campaign for him in some instances. How is that going? She once lived in New York. And during one speech she championed, of all things, the city's smell. Yes, Heidi Cruz likes the smell of New York. Late-night comic Stephen Colbert points out how odd that statement really is in today's Punchlines, above.
And Cruz's struggling rival John Kasich was desperate enough to fan fiction Jesus during a visit to a matzo bakery, according to comic Samantha Bee. The uncomfortable (and some would say questionable) moment is captured and analyzed in today's webisode of late-night laughs.
