Just showing off my new tagline.


Ha ha. Cruz apparently has access to a lot of Goldman products. I’m wonder what else he invested in there? Cattle Futures?

how is taking a margin loan out against your own assets to
fund your own campaign - which you paid back - a mistake?

*******************

Don’t think taking out the loan was a mistake, apparently
it was the lack of disclosure that was the mistake...

This won’t amount to much, just flak, imo.

You're right. It is not a mistake. When the money is tight, but ones don't want to sell ones' stocks (big capital gain tax or in IRA account), ones will borrow on margin with interest and then pay it back.

OK I see that he did not 'adequately' disclose the loan. Obviously a novice oversight.

Not quite the bank heist some hyperventilating posters are making it out to be.

And the point is not what WE think.

What we FRiends think is irrelevant.

It is perception.

I do hope this video somehow vindicates Cruz. I can’t watch videos online from home myself.

So from that basis ...


No one can seriously accuse Trump of being ‘sold out’ when he’s funding his own campaign and going to lose out on loads of business opportunities not only from this campaign but also as President. And risk hearings and all the very minucia forms that might have [arguably] ensnared Cruz.

"And that's the end of that."

Yes, sir, I am afraid it is, LOL.

But it won't stop the enterprising Trump fans from trying!

Especially in the general election where the media isnt going to care what Mark Levin says of this or what some conservative blog demands you think about it.

You and other rabid Trump supporters must be tired since you have been spouting this BS to Cruz supporters and others all night on FR. Get over it, it is a non-issue in the minds of Cruz supporters and others.

Better get some rest before Cruz and his supporters return fire. Trump had it to lose and now he is starting to falter by allowing these personal attacks and non-issues about his opponents to continue.

It’s a simple error. Not a problem.

Between this and the phony citizenship thing, the Establishment and its allies are trying not just to defeat Cruz, but to destroy him personally.

It’s shameful, but he’s the one who scares them. They can work with the others.

No 'falter'

Four out the last five Iowa polls show Trump winning Iowa.

Cruz told the people of Texas during that he was raiding the last pennies in his piggy bank

When you take out a margin loan on your stock account, you are raiding your piggy bank.

“When is non-disclosure a credibility boosting move?”

When he explains that the loan was paid back (not a political contribution from Goldman) and there was an error in original filing of the loan information that has been later disclosed in other political filings! A non-issue!

He did use his pennys as well as using his assets for collateral for the loans, personal loans.

At least he is paying them back and not leaving the banks and other investor hanging with multiple bankruptcies.

The mistake is that he forgot to report it.
