For what it’s worth, I’ll NEVER support attacking a candidate through his family. Especially kids should be off limits, and I think it’s really bad form to take after a wife who is pretty much in the background and making occasional appearances or comments in support of their spouse. That shouldn’t be surprising to anyone.

I make an exception for Bill Clinton, because he and Mrs Clinton have been a political tag team match WITHIN government for so long that it’s obvious they are a political team.

Michelle, Heidi, whoever....are we really surprised they support their spouses?

I see zero exceptions for taking children to task. Maybe on actual policy pronouncements, the POLICY can be taken to task with a spouse. But the person is pretty much off limits. Especially looks, background, past, etc.

Would these cretins ever ask that about Jill Biden? They slobber over Mrs. Obama. The media are such despicable scum with their little rhetorical questions?

Fundraising is not "in the background". It's developing relationships with donors who probably want something in return. Heidi is actively involved in an aspect of the campaign, so her resume and what she brings to the table are fair game.

Also consider that fundraising is involved in financing and managing the campaign. And the campaign is under scrutiny for its "do whatever it takes to win" mindset. Add to that the ubiquitous campaign solicitations, many of them from Heidi. And Heidi and the kids appeared in that ad.

I agree. The exception I would make is when they take an active part in the campaign or are more than peripherally involved such, as you mentioned, Bill Clinton.

Cruz’s children are obviously off limits but the wife being a big shot at puppet master Goldman Sachs if more than fair game.

Read her own account of how they met as political operatives working for Bush. Same type of tag team, different name that’s all.

Agreed, except to say that Hillary and Bill have made it clear from the beginning that they are a “twoforone” team; they say it proudly and therefore as a team they are fair game.

Do some investigating. Heidi Cruz is not just a candidate's spouse. She is Ted Cruz's in-house political handler.

Heidi Cruz has a Masters of European Business from Universite Libre de Bruxelles in Brussels, Belgium and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School. Heidi Cruz is also member of the globalist New World Order, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and is a former Director for the Western Hemisphere on President Bush's National Security Council.

The CFR goal of globalization is to limit and abolish nationalities and create a global community? Read the Mission Statement on its website. They would necessarily have to limit, dilute and dissolve our Constitution to achieve this. It is not be hard to connect the dots.

The fact that Heidi Cruz is a Vice President of Goldman Sachs (currently on a leave of absence without pay for Ted Cruz's presidential campaign), the fact that the CFR works to reduce financial regulations on transnational corporations, and (is for) economic consolidation into regional blocs such as NAFTA or the European Union, puts an ominous question mark on the whole Cruz campaign, or should.


Heidi Cruz's work for the Council on Foreign Relations: Building a North American Community

All my life my wife has helped and supported me with my work. She has kept out financial books at home. She has listened and advised me about difficult work situations and helped me study to pass numerous certification, qualification and proficiency courses.

Can anyone doubt that Ted Cruz will consult his wife in any given situation? A NWO insider always inside the mind of Ted Cruz makes me fear for our future as much as Obama has.

Never, ever, underestimate the power of a woman, and especially one closely linked to a president. Hillary should be a good example of that.

He may be the head, but she’s the neck that turns the head.

-- Michelle, Heidi, whoever....are we really surprised they support their spouses? --

Husband/wife act as a unit, in some cases. Bill/Hillary comes to mind.

Of course the "unit" dynamic is highly variable, Lincoln's wife was in no position to "lead" her own life, let alone manage the marriage or some aspect of national policy. And sometimes husband's in political position do things to please or give advantage to their spouse's interest (which is also a self-interest). I think it's prudent to understand the husband/wife relationship.
