Oh, dear God!!

I agree. This article is a no-starter with me.
Bought and sold.

A big money slave masquerading as a compassionate evangelical Christian conservative.
He’s married to the woman who is married to Goldman Sachs.
And yet he claims the Establishment wants Trump not him lol
Sky isn’t falling but his presidential hopes will soon enough. They’re pretty low already.
Cruz lied. Said he mostly self funded and liquidated his assets, but instead he took a loan from Goldman Sachs, the company which his wife worked for at the time.
Seems like NEW YORK values to me!
