If you buy access to Washington politicians, either democrat or Republican, like Trump has freely admitted, that makes you a Washington Insider. Cruz did not lie. Trump and his Trumpbots are the liars.
Who owns Cruz? He has some high power donors. I have read that he is obligated to some same sex guys in New York City. Remember same rules apply to both candidates.. And in case you have not heard Trump is self funding, so he does NOT owe any big time donors.
hmmm....
I see your point, I can see how some one could say Trump is a Washington insider on the basis of his old support of the Clintons.
Point granted, I withdraw my comment about Cruz “lying about Trump being a Washington insider”. My apology.
Yet Cruz is still not telling the whole truth, as he says he is not an insider and it is clear he is. He is more of an insider than trump, by my calculations.
He was given a loan to win the senator seat, and the FEC looked the other way when he submitted incorrect paperwork to hide this. His wife received a promotion at when he became a senator, much like Obamas wife was at the hospital (went from 100,000 a year (hubby state senator) to 300,000 (hubby federal senator, position abolished after Obama elected president). Also the million dollar loans Cruz was granted...well he never paid them off, they were paid off by donations to his reelection campaign. He is very much an insider, just one who is not liked.
Now he is not obligated to tell the world of this, but to point the finger at Trump and say he was a Washington insider while saying Cruz and his wife are not....well that is deceptive. Not bearing false witness about Trump, but not the whole truth either.
Now as a single example I suppose one could let it go, but Cruz has a pattern on dong this.

By the By, I wanted a joint ticket until very recently, but now it appears that Cruz would rather burn the party to the ground and see the republicans lose rather than be # 2 for 4 years prior to being elected # 1. There is something very odd about that, it does not bode well for the man or his character.
