Right now, I’m a Cruz guy, but I think the REAL lesson here is that he, at least at the present, is NOT on the take, like most of his other Congressional brethren. But weak financials also means he might be more easily coaxed into crooked deals.

I'm also a Cruz supporter, and agree with you. Let's remember that Thomas Jefferson was also terrible with his own money and died bankrupt, yet was a good steward of the public trust. It was Jefferson who launched the Barbary Wars because he deemed the $300,000 jizya demand too much for American taxpayers to bear.
