Hate to tell you, but some of my life experiences in the almost past 60 years have shown me that Real Estate Developers are among the most sleaziest people on earth.
Can’t argue with your experience!
In my experience (not quite as long as yours), that I’ve found that Washington DC lawyer/politicians are among the most sleazy people on earth.
That being said, Cruz is still my #2 choice and will gladly support him in November. ANY Republican (as bad as they can be) is still better than ANY Democrat, imo.
