Wealthy Cruz Donor Pours Millions Into Clinton Campaign
Observer ^ | 5-9-16 | Michael Sainato

Posted on 05/09/2016 3:54:39 PM PDT by dynachrome

enaissance Technologies, a hedge fund founded by billionaire James Simons, donated over $13 million to Sen. Ted Cruz’s failed presidential campaign. For a guy who’s supposed to be pretty smart with his money, the ROI on that one has got to sting. Nevertheless, now that Mr. Cruz is out of the race, Mr. Simons has begun pouring millions of dollars into Hillary Clinton‘s campaign, with Renaissance Technologies donating over $2 million to Ms. Clinton so far this election cycle. Euclidean Capital—also owned by Mr. Simons—has given the Clinton campaign over $7 million in contributions, and such figures are likely to increase as Ms. Clinton slowly transitions her attention from Democratic Primary opponent Bernie Sanders to the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump.

Trump has proven that big money can’t buy an election if the message is to save our Republic!

I want the dems to spend every single dime they have to beat our next President Donald Trump! When he is inaugurated in January 2017 he will have beaten every single big money machine and the only way back for them is to invest in this great nation!

Trump 2016!

Here is story on the Tax Cheats Mercer and Simons who bought two crooked DC lawyers named Jeb Cruz and Clinton crime family to dodge a huge tax bill .

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-07-21/renaissance-avoided-more-than-6-billion-tax-report-says

The 6 billion estimate is the low end of the estimate and 10 billion the high end !

Interesting that these guys feel they can buy influence with either Cruz or Clinton but not Trump.

For a globalist, there is little difference between Cruz and Hill.

I’ve been telling people for years both parties in D.C. are riding in the GD same limo.

Some folks just can’t quite grasp it.

Maybe Hillary will name Cruz as her Scotus appointment if we screw up and let her get elected.

Good.

More like a Hillary supporter from the beginning donating to Cruz to try to stop Trump.

Now that it will be Trump vs Hillary, he is showing his true colors.

.......from 2001 to 2013 Simons Medallion Fund’s lowest year was 21%. Arguably, he is the King of Hedge Funds at least in terms of his ROI performance during the subject years. (return on Investment).

So, guys and gals, there is why he gives millions to Hillary. Hillary will leave him alone and or enact some good ole boy legislation for him at his request.

Trump on the other hand, has already put him on notice that he is going to tax the hell out of him! So, no mystery here.

The enormity of the deception perpetrated upon the American people is so vast that for some, it’s “easier” not to absorb the truth.

You are very astute and observant to have seen this reality years ago! Sadly, some prefer “smooth talk” that tickles their ears, than the harsh reality of having been “played” by their gov’t.

At this point, where we go from here is unclear. But, the more citizens are able to identify the source of the evil, the stronger the chance for Liberty restored.

Cheers, dragnet ; )

Does anyone actually want to argue that this money wasn't compromising Cruz? Especially since it's been reported he had just a few very wealthy donors?

I get that Cruz has dropped out and people are in mourning and all, but that's no reason to ignore realities.

"Real principled type there."

The comment applies to all 3, and most damning to Cruz and the argument that he's his own man. Not rubbing salt, just rubbing the truth. If the truth is salt, then so be it.

I think the guy just doesn’t like DT. Can’t go from a historical constitutionalist to a communist without them cancelling each other out for the real motive.
