Donald Trump may be wishing he'd used one of the teleprompters he so often derides after his gaffe during a speech in Buffalo on the eve of the New York primary.
The Republican front-runner mistakenly referred to the convenience store chain 7-Eleven when speaking of the September 11, 2001,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>terror attack on the World Trade Center.
"It's very close to my heart because<span style="color: Red;">*</span>I was down there and I watched our<span style="color: Red;">*</span>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," Trump said.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>"I saw the bravest people I've ever seen, including the construction workers, including every person down there."

Trump didn't seem to notice the error and<span style="color: Red;">*</span>he went on to praise the "New York values" that his GOP rival Ted Cruz had referred to<span style="color: Red;">*</span>pejoratively earlier in the campaign.
Trump told the crowd it is those "values that makes us love this state despite it's problems. We love this state.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>We know it's going to<span style="color: Red;">*</span>come back. If I am president, it's going to come back so fast you won't even believe it," he said.
Trump is heavily favored to win New York's primary<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Tuesday, and he desperately wants to take the state by a wide enough margin to sweep its 95 delegates.
