I keep reading that about all candidates, to include trump being owned by the wall-street banks that he owes *HUNDREDS* of millions to. But no one ever offers any evidence to back up that extraordinary claim. Without it, it just appears like a “low-info” voter knee-jerking or parroting something they heard from another mouth-frothing “low-info” voter.

If you have watched the debates, they are filled with the donors. Trump noted that Johnson-Johnson was Jeb's main donor. Trump knows personally these donors. At one debate an insurance donor was waving and smirking at Trump from the audience. These mavens of business do not donate millions of dollars via packs without the expectation of something in return. Do your own research to find out who each candidate owes. Cruz is owned lock stock and barrel.

I *have* done my research and I gave you a specific example of a donor that Cruz stands against, both by sponsoring legislation against the donor's special interests and by consistently arguing policy and taking political positions against the donor's special interests. If he is controlled by donors -- "owned lock stock and barrel" you claimed -- I've just proven you wrong and you have offered jack-squat in defense of your ludicrous claim.

But I'm willing to watch you flail a bit more -- what research have *you* done? How about you give me an example of this quid-pro-quo you mentioned. Show me where Cruz changed a position for a donor that owns him, "lock stock and barrel". Cruz has been darned consistent so that may be too tough. If not Cruz, then try Rubio, Kasich, Bush? Or perhaps instead of your lack of any indication Cruz (or anyone else) is "owned lock stock and barrel" by donors, maybe just show where they have altered positions? And when it comes to "bending with the political winds", there is one candidate that *truly* stands out...
