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.
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.
