Just in Case you Haven't Got it Figured Out (On Ted Cruz and Neil Bush)
The Market Ticker ^ | 3/10/2016 | Karl Denninger

Posted on 03/10/2016 6:48:41 PM PST by Ultra Sonic 007

Cruz picked up essentially the entire Bush clan into his campaign recently.

Including, I remind you, one Bush (Neil) that managed to rip off the taxpayer for a billion and a half dollars during the S&L crash, and who did it by giving "loans" to his friends that were uncollectable.  Look up Silverado Savings and Loan out of Denver.  It was one of the big scandals of the time, and that a director, Neil Bush, is now on the Cruz campaign's finance team ought to tell you everything you need to know.

Oh, it didn't stop there either.  You might want to look into his connections to Chinese influence peddling within the US Government as well.

Neil is radioactive from his forehead to his little toe, and that Cruz would bed him with a finance position is beyond outrageous and well into the realm of scandalous.  He must think we don't remember, but in fact the S&L crisis was the grandfather of the banking-related scams since, both the 2000 tech wreck and the 07/08 housing blowup.  All featured making loans to people who had no prayer in hell of paying them back, knowing this when the loan was made, and not giving a damn because you believed you could toss the nuclear financial device to someone else before it exploded in your face.

Of course that all fits, right?  China has been ripping us off for decades, as has been Mexico.  Trump wants to put a stop to it.  Those who think he's dumb and bombastic aren't paying attention; refusing to turn over your hole cards until the other guy goes "all in" and ****s himself with the chainsaw you left on the table isn't dumb, it's the mark of a smart chess player who can think six moves in front of you.

The last few days have seen it come out; Trump has an answer to the Chinese problem in that he has latched onto the real issue: They have open and tariff-free access to our markets but theirs are both tariffed and local-content restricted to our companies.  That, in combination with currency manipulation isn't "free trade" it's rape.

The Japanese have been doing the same thing, although most of theirs have been currency-related and "informal" refusals to buy rather than formal tariffs.  No matter; neither is free trade.

Oh, and the people understand what he's explaining to them too.  How do you think Trump won Michigan?  Exactly how many auto workers do you believe have gotten hosed over the years up there?

Yeah.

And now George Soros is into the game. How quaint.  Another one-worlder sticks his head up out of the ground and tries to stop Trump from putting a cork in the abuses our nation has suffered at his, Ted's, Bush's and the Mittens hand, as they all swap handshakes (and perhaps some bodily fluids) with Obama and the left.

My, what a coincidence.

Cruz thinks he can call Trump's supporters "low information" and "not engaged."

Oh, to the contrary.  Read my book, Ted.  Leverage.  Low information eh?  I think not.  I pinpointed the trade and medical monopoly problems a long time ago, and they've been featured on this page since it began publication.  Ask those who worked for and with me in the 1990s and you'll hear that I was talking about the same things then -- and oh by the way, so was Trump.

Never mind the national debt.  $19 trillion and counting, and when does it stop?  According to Ryan and Cathy McMorris-Rodgers, the answer is simple: Never.  Well, that's not quite true.  It will stop when society collapses under the weight of it, and it shall if they (and you, Ted) all get your way because math is a bitch and doesn't bargain.  Oh you can cheat math for a while, but not forever.  What's your trick when the knock on the door comes?  Start a nuclear war?  That'll work out real well.

Speaking of which, there are rumblings that certain pastors think you're "ordained" to be President.  You know, kinda of like the 12th Imam that is supposed to return?  Yeah, that sort of delusion of grandeur, that one is divinely entitled, is rather dangerous.  Some of the worst nuts through history have believed things like that.

Some of them have thought their delusions entitled them to******little kids and murder indiscriminately too.  In fact, I've never read of one of those delusional jackasses who didn't engage in something at least that evil, and perhaps worse.  You've yet to denounce any of those people Ted..... why not?  Is it as simple as wanting their congregation's vote, or something a bit more.... complex and dangerous?

I've already voted in Florida's Primary, so my voice has spoken.  Can't change my mind, not that I'd be inclined to.  And no, I didn't vote for the man who has locked up his birth records like Obama, refusing to release his CRBA, nor the crook from Cuba.

You're wasting your time insulting me, but if you want to have Mittens make some more robocalls to my house go right ahead.  I'll keep 'em on the line and waste your time and money.  Near as I can figure, it's just a small favor to my neighbor, who you might not get to as a consequence.

Ted needs to take a Cruz -- right over to taqiyya land where his brand of venomous viper has roamed for more than a thousand years, and probably will for a thousand more.  He'll fit right in.

If Trump makes the trade changes he wants to make, Mrs. Ted Cruz will be out of a job.

You must know something I have missed.

Tell us when and where Trump has stolen or taken kickbacks, graft, etc.?

Cruz has been exposed as an insider.

If you were truly on the fence, he wasn’t talking about you.

Now, if you were supporting trump, he just might have meant you.

Now Soros is spending money to take out Trump?

I tell you what, with now Soros jumping on to the scene, this government must have so much to hide and definitely don’t want a citizen or outsider coming in to discover what is really going on.

I wonder how the author feels about Trump making deals with Soros to not default on a loan... that came from a Soros hedge fund.

Or that one of his senior advisors is a stock fraud felon.0

Now Ted is radioactive, and this confirms my supposition that Ted has poor judgement and critical thinking skills.

Regardless, Ted will have to borrow Kerry's hazmat suit

I have the book on my Kindle. He discusses fraud of multiple stripes, and is overall a pretty brisk and engaging read.
