After bashing bankers, including his wife's employer Goldman Sachs, he invites them to a Harvard Club fundraiser.
NEW YORK -- This Monday, assorted bankers, traders and Wall Street lawyers will gather inside the neo-Georgian walls of the Harvard Club in midtown Manhattan to write big checks to an unlikely recipient: Ted Cruz.
Cruz, who attended Harvard Law School, isn't one to trade too heavily on old school ties and friendships at the likes of Goldman Sachs, where his wife works. On the campaign trail, the Texas senator has railed against Wall Street “crony capitalism,” ripped giant banks as “too big to fail” and wrapped himself in populist garb in his quest to take down Donald Trump. But now he's desperate: Cruz, who has already received $12 million in support from the financial industry, needs Wall Street money more than ever.
Given the formidable stakes, many on Wall Street are paying attention to Cruz's overtures. Some say they dislike both Cruz and Trump, but will come to the aid of Cruz as the lesser evil. Others find Cruz's anti-Wall Street rhetoric, combined with his role in promoting Washington gridlock, too objectionable to overcome.

Do Ted and Heidi have no shame in their money-grabbing initiatives?
Headline says it all....
5$, 10$, 20$, whatever it takes.
He will compromise any position for immediate gain.
That was the first thing that I thought!r
“Cruz as the lesser evil”
I don’t think so.
The Cruz-aid drinkers will see no hypocrisy in this.
...nobody likes Cruz. Not even the banksters.
“There is no point is supporting someone who can’t win,” said the CEO of a large financial firm who also backed Bush and then Rubio. “We would wind up with a guy nobody really likes who can’t appeal to the broad mass of the American electorate. So I’m done with 2016. I’ve given up any belief that I know what’s going on.”
Are the Clintons honest?
that’s funny coming from a Trumpkin who supports a man who is a democrat running as a republican who has supported and gave money to democrats and liberal causes his whole life. If there ever was a flip flopper and someone who changed his views as often as the wind blows, it is Donald Jerk Trump.
I keep getting an email from Cruz telling me I will be a delegate if I contribute 35.00 to his campaign.....

Do you seriously think we'll accept a candidate who has to be compared to the Clintons to justify their activities?
Mygosh, some of the more brain-melded Cruz candidates might show up in Cleveland and claim they're "Deputy Delegates". Cruz is playing off the Colorado scandal for donations.
What THE HELL is going on with that campaign?
Is it me, or does "deputy delegate" sound official and real? Isn't that fraud?
It almost smacks of the Ben Carson mess...
If you’re begging for Wall Street dollars, need to multiply those numbers by one million! :)
Lighten up. It was a whimsical response
Both answers are no
Cruz is bought paid for and OWNED!!!
