Probably wanted Bernie Madoff to handle the money, but Bernie was unavailable. But Jeb’s people are good too, I suppose.

This story reflects exactly zero on Cruz other than he’s snapping up the best campaign resources he can get his hands on.

FYI - Most of these people have ties to the Bushes that go back at least 10-15 years. They're not just "hired guns". They are well-connected influential cronies of the Bush family, for better or worse. Some of them did indeed help craft policy for various Bush administrations.

Caveat emptor.

Looks like my money boys are moving over to Ted Cruz. Maybe Teddy can take down the Trumpster. I know I couldn't. I'm low energy. I'm a joyous turtle.

Cruz is owned and probably beyond rehab at this point

It's baffling. He doesn't seem to understand the damage his "win at any cost" Iowa campaign did to his reputation. And now he's hiring Jeb's money guys? It's as if power and money are drugs he's become addicted to. He must think he can give up the money and being influenced any time he wants, that it's all for the greater good of his being elected.

He’s fighting like his life is on the line. He’s only 45; he’s really not ready for this, but could be in 8 years. The way he’s playing it, though, he’s not going to get that chance. Too bad.

[Campaign finance people are hired guns who work on commission or staggered bonus targets]

Paid campaign staff are beholden to no one but themselves. I am amazed how they can diss a candidate, then get behind that same candidate when offered a lucrative job opportunity.

Huh?

Thinking the exact same thing! This is just plain bad judgment on Cruz’s part. Makes me question his judgment.
