It will be an attack line by the left if he wins. I think he lost Republicans in various swing states with the NY Values comments. Doubling down hurt. Regardless of what he meant. His problem not mine.

RE: I think he lost Republicans in various swing states with the NY Values comments.

Which “swing states”?

Cruz was never going to win New York anyway. Most Republicans in this state ( e.g. Peter King ) hates his guts.

And yes, those are the Republicans who embody New York values.

I’m sure all the candidates are free from influence of banks. Right?

When in Rome. Ole Trump’s been greasing the skids with banks for decades.

To rise to the management level she has attained, one cannot be a mere huckster, fraudster, or avaricious con man. No, the get to that level of management in the den of vipers known as Goldman Sachs, one must be a true con ARTIST.

So yeah, there’s a lot wrong with that. You sound you maybe got out with your soul. Or perhaps they did not utterly corrupt your soul, so you would not have fit in.

Fair disclosure: I used to be a regulator of brokerage firms.

Well, since the question only named the COMPANY, which if there was any truth in naming law on the books would be called “The Vilest House of Greed and Corruption in History” and not the LOAN, the comment still stands.

And if you have a problem with what your government has done for the last decade, understand, all of Congress is basically the Washington DC branch office of GS - the foulest den of iniquity in the country.

Heidi Cruz was Private Wealth Investment Manager at Goldman Sachs.

Are you telling us that there is NOT ONE person in any investment bank who holds that position who is not an avaricious con man/woman at all?

If this were so, who would entrance their wealth to be managed by people like these?

Hard to believe.

All con ARTISTS have a great shtick.

The stupid ones go elsewhere and get bounced out of the business (stupid crooks fed my family for years) or have a moderately successful career elsewhere.

There may be a FEW people at the large wirehouses that have a little bit of honesty and a conscience, but none at Goldman that have been there for more than a few years.

>>>>>>If this were so, who would entrance their wealth to be managed by people like these?<<<<<<

The same people that keep thinking that politicians somehow matter in this nation and that voting or involvement are somehow important.

>>>>>Hard to believe.<<<<<

And yet, at one point in history, state of the art maps of the world contained blank spaces captioned with “Here Be Dragons”. My own children at one point in their lives believed that an obese man rode a sleigh powered by 8 reindeers and distributed toys to every child in the world in the space of a few hours of one night...

I think the skepticism in me comes from your SWEEPING statement to the extent that ALL wealth managers are crooks.

If you only replaced ALL with SOME, you would have had more credibility.

As it stands now, I remain in my skepticism.

The ones that have been with the wirehouses for more than a couple of years are. Others that work for smaller firms, not so much. GS ones are the worst of the worst.
