GOVERMENT LAWYER, that’s all Ted has ever been. He is one of 4 BIG recipients running for president of the Lawyer donations. Hillary, over 7 million, Jeb Bush over 1 million, Cruz $644,000, Rubio $576,000. They take care of their own first.

Do you realize what piddling pocket change $644,000 is compared to what the legal industrial complex contributes to political campaigns? Do you realize that there might even be a handful of them on our side?
Look, there is a lot of things I like about Donald Trump, but being a billionaire and able to self-finance much of your own campaign should not be the only criteria for running for public office.
I'm not one of those Cruzers who will stay home and pout if Donald Trump wins the nomination fair and square. But I don't think it is unfair to point out the issue similarities between him and Mitt Romney, whom nearly everybody on this forum had no problems piling on .
He hasn’t always been a “government lawyer.” He was in private practice for about 7 years. For a 44 year old man who didn’t get out of law school till he was 25 or so, that represents a good chunk of his career.
Wrong, Ted was in private practice for a while.
