I remember an episode of the West Wing referencing a similar phrase about New York influence as dog whistle for "Jew". Considering Cruz specified "liberals, money, and media" (common stereotypes for Jews,) I think that interpretation is right on the money. Trump didn't catch on, turning it into a Rudy Giuliani moment. Of course, if Trump had "gotten it" he undoubtedly would have agreed with Rafael, and we couldn't have that now, could we.
