The margin loan shouldn't be a big deal - his personal assets were still on the line.

Cruz family bringing in six figure salery from Heidi alone, not including the one million a year he was making, and all the other sources of income he was getting through other means.

Cruz claimed he was putting all his liquid assets into his campaign. He didn't. The margin loan is just opening up a new regular payment for the Cruz family, which apparently was paid very fast, and Cruz himself was worth 400,000 more after the campaign than he was before it.

“Absolutely I do,”he said Wednesday morning on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program.

“They’re a fantastic firm. They make money but they put people to work. They raise tremendous amounts of capital”.

- Trump on Goldman Sachs, when asked if it is a positive force in the world.

It used to be conservatives were capitalists.

Now so many claiming to be conservative sound like anti-Capitalist Marxists.

As of December he was still working there, and was its Editor-in-Chief. Red State will have to deal with his sweat stains for life.

The amount listed is the amount still owed, as required by the instruction for that block of the form.

Nah, TRUMP is “concern trolling” Cruz, and so far it’s worked like a charm.

The Don just answers the questions: “Hope he can straighten all this out”, “they say it’s a big deal”, “he has been very respectful of me, and agrees with me on my ideas”, “sure hope he can get this resolved”, etc., etc.

It’s politics at its best.

TRUMP, 2016

Don’t let the screaming mouths on the screen fool you: Trump is a media creation, not a target

OK, Nikki Haley...

He filed with the FEC to launch his campaign in 2011. These loans didn’t take place until 2012.

There is another listing for the same company above, and it gets closer to $750,000, but that is still not 1.2 million, so I'm curious about the details of this.

That said, this caught my eye, too:

It was disclosed at the time, though apparently not carried forward. It was reported on in the press in 2013 and, to make matters worse, Cruz is going to be left holding the bag for the loan because the election committee can’t legally repay him.

I don't like that Cruz made a paperwork error that cost him, apparently, 1.2 million of his own money, and cost every liquid asset they had.

I don't have 1.2 million to lose like that, but lousy paperwork. Lousy management. Lousy attention to detail.

He is no longer there & the article about which you complain (via going after Erickson) is from today. When he subbed for Rush Limbaugh over Rush’s Christmas break), he said that tomorrow would be his last day at RedState...

I am not understanding what your point is. I didn't claim Erick was the author. I said Erick Erickson's Homo Redstate was up to no good.

Trump has stopped Jeb Bush and the other GOPe.

Why worry about enabling the GOPe when Trump will manufacture enough Democrats to make them irrelevant?

Form and article dollar amounts don’t match. Article stipulates 250,001-500,000 for the loan but the form highlighted in red is only marked for 125,001-250,000.

That means Cruz is guilty of the high crime of checking the wrong box.

You knew the Slimes would spin it to hurt a conservative when there was nothing there-there. My question is was it Trump, Bush, Chrispy Kreme, the Huckster or the Rube who planted this hit job load of BS?

Why would Cruz or anybody, and especially just a candidate, spend 1.2 million of his own money for a job in the US Senate that pays only $174,000. a year?

It would take 7 years or so, paying every dime of a senate salary, to receive back 1.2 million dollars.


Reason #1: Congress is now essentially an aristocracy. Once you get elected, especially for Senate, you stay there for the rest of your life. $174K per year for life is a pretty good return on that $1.2 million.

Reason #2: It sets you up for running for higher office. Such as president.

Reason #3: See how everyone else in Congress is making all sorts of money other than their salary.

Yeah, that’s a no-no on a government form.
