I’m sure the Cruz haters will find something wrong with that.
CNN? Cruz best friend his wife an executive on leave from Golman Sachs? Hmmmm. Using her employment know how to call and fundraise for Cruz? Hmmmmm.
Is this uniparty code to say “Cruz is one of you really. Wife is really one of you, Wink. Wink. “
“Cruz will have those huge increases in work visas coming your way soon all you uniparty corporate donors”
Cruz needs to quit betraying the American worker!
Ping!!
It would sure be nice. Two cute little girls in the White House again would be fun too.
