And Cruz didn’t take any money from George Soros.

Trump’s Soros pwned is a bigger concern.

THE ARTICLE WENT ON TO EXPLAIN:

Ted Cruz appears to have, at least informally, disclosed the loan in 2012, while running against David Dewhurst in that fateful Senate primary; it just wasn't disclosed when he filed for President. Roll Call reported extensively on the loan in 2013, so it's most certainly common knowledge.

And Ted Cruz can correct any formal financial disclosures by filing a form and, if necessary, paying whatever penalties are attendant to his reprehensible crime. It's a problem, for certain, but it's hardly a game-changing, career-ending, Iowa deal-breaking bit of evidence that Ted Cruz is secretly beholden to big banks and will have to pay his price to Wall Street in the blood of his children.

Goldman Sachs, who floated Ted and his wife a significant loan.

Yeah, margin loan. And?

I am voting for Trump in my primary but I will vote for Cruz in the general if that’s how it turns out for the ticket.

This somebody loaned Cruz this amount and it’s still outstanding crap is just that. Do you have a mortgage? Are you in the tank for your mortgage company?

Bill and Hillary supposedly left the White House dead broke but now are conservators of a billion dollar cache of money in their foundation that really has no charter, save for their own use, IMO. They didn’t go into debt to further their ideals; they sold their damned influence of power and position! Why are they condemned?

I like Ted, but this loan crap is horseshit. Attack the man about ideals, goals, service or anything with respect to his goals and desires. This bank crap connection is pathetic.

Just to set the record straight, and assuming that a relationship with Goldman Sachs or any other large investment bank is a “problem”:

“Eight of the Republican presidential hopefuls, Trump, Cruz, Ben Carson, Jeb Bush, John Kasich, Carly Fiorina, Chris Christie, and Jim Gilmore said in financial disclosures that were largely filed between June and August last year that they had owned Goldman funds or Goldman stock, and in some cases both. The disclosures mostly cover the period from the beginning of 2014 to the middle of last year.”
Citation: http://www.rawstory.com/2016/01/not-just-ted-cruz-most-gop-candidates-have-financial-ties-to-goldman-sachs/

“Citibank, in particular, played a major role in one of the Trump organization’s more notorious bankruptcies, when the Trump Plaza Hotel in Atlantic City was underwater and Trump owed over $550 million on it to various creditors, with Citibank at the head. In order to restructure his debt, Trump gave Citibank and other creditors a 49% ownership interest in the hotel.

As for Goldman Sachs, Trump is himself a shareholder in Goldman Sachs, which means he has a direct financial interest in its success. One would think that would make Trump even less enthusiastic about protecting me from Goldman Sachs (whatever that means) than Cruz would.

There is essentially not a major Wall Street entity that Donald Trump or his companies have not taken out loans from or received financing from. In fact, that’s more or less his entire business model. This lengthy ABC piece details how each and every one of them has at one time been circling Trump or his companies as they have been left holding the bag for all or part of loans he took out from them.”

Ergo, it is NOT just Ted Cruz who has a relationship with Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street banks, but almost every candidate, including The Donald himself. And, for the record, I do NOT necessarily consider that a disqualifying factor.

>>>>Does Ted Cruz Have a Goldman Sachs Problem?<<<<

Maybe he does not, by 99.5% of the rest of us sure as hell do.

The loan was reported before the primary run-off. The criticism is that the loan was AGAIN reported in conjunction with the general. This is described by the liberal media as “failing to report.” Trump who was a Democrat up to 2011 repeats their lie.

This is just like Trump repeating the lie of the liberal media about Gov. Walker’s budget.

And, it is just like Trump saying he can work with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

Trump may have re-registered as a Republican, but he is still in many ways a Democrat.

We can only Trust Trump because he is the only one with enough money to not have to raise any for his campaigns.

Everyone else is disqualified for not having enough of their own $$$. (and Cruz especially for being Canadian)

That is why Trump is debating by himself Thursday, no one else is qualified to debate him.

Trump wins by default, the only one legitimate candidate

Trump makes the rules.

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.
