“Oversee 4000 attorneys”. No, I don’t think so,.
************************
Sorry if that’s wrong, but I know I read it on some bio.

I disagree with your contention that Cruz is an “insider”. If he is, then why are so many of the GOP-e RINOs against him? ....Answer: They know that if Cruz is POTUS he will upset their lucrative careers where they become millionaires by giving Wall Street and the Chamber of Commerce what they want.

The biggest “money issues” in the election are illegal immigration, super pac spending and hedge fund taxation.

The guy who cuts off the money supply the biggest threat. Trump has spoken out on all three issues. Cruz has taken on just one.

So who wants to attack and why?

Super Pac Spending - Kill Trump and Bernie Sanders

Ever since Citizen United has been upheld, quite the ecosystem has developed within our political system. The size of employees working the “political industry” has increased tremendously. A review of the political expenditures contrasting Trump vs. Cruz is illuminating. In the last quarter Trump spent a total of 12 million. Cruz and his super pacs spent quite a bit more. Super Pac money given to Cruz and Rubio http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/01/us/politics/rival-factions-of-top-donors-get-behind-marco-rubio-and-ted-cruz.html

The guy that is the least acceptable for the people that work in the “political industry” is Trump, because he wants to reign in that Super Pac spending plus his unorthodox campaign and lack of campaign pollsters, consultants and strategists, if successful, would call into question the necessity of using professionals in the industry.

Illegal Immigration-Kill Trump and Cruz

We all know where Rubio and the GOPe stands on this. Open Borders and globalist interests.

Hedge Fund taxation - Kill Trump
Trump is the only candidate who has touched this topic. That is why you see all the Hedge fund folks pointing their Super Pac dollars at the Donald. The difference between carried interest getting capital gains treatment vs. regular or earned income tax treatment is a multi billion dollar issue for them. Ask Robert Mercer about the tax fight where the IRS thinks he underpaid his taxes by $6 Billion. He is one of the largest donor to Cruz’ campaign. http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-07-08/irs-moves-against-hedge-fund-maneuver-once-used-by-renaissance

Here is a handy report from FEC which shows money being spent for last 7 days by whom
http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/indexp/7

Timing:
The reason that GOPe is against Cruz, is because they want to move Rubio ahead of him, and its working. The loyal money is only going to stay with Bush through the NH primary. If he does not turn in a finish of 3rd or better the money will flock to Rubio. Some say it has already moved. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/01/jeb-bush-right-to-rise-15-million

The consolidation will most likely spell victory for GOPe.

The net effect?

You don’t get Cruz
You don’t get Trump and
We get Rubio. And you will like it.

Rubio is a puppet boy for the money.
