BACKSTORY At the time Cruz got his hands on over a million dollars from his hefty margin account at G/S......he was whining in the media, telling Texas voters that he and his little wife (faithfully standing by her man) were having to liquidate their entire family savings (of slightly more than $1 million) to fuel a come-from-behind win in the Republican primary.
The Cruz tale has become legendary.....part and parcel of Cruz/s campaign narrative of a populist, scrappy Cruz putting everything on the line to overcome a wealthy establishment opponent.
(JUST SAYIN Most people would not have over a million dollars that they could easily liquidate on some cheap whim of being the prez.)
==============================================
Cruz/s belated disclosure of the loan was bombshell. In what was clearly a pre-meditated move (to give himself cover), Cruz did disclose the G/S loan....BUT not on the FEC form required by law. Now he will amend the FEC form.
The G/S loan is a bigger problem for Cruz than most candidates b/c of the way he/s structured his campaign.
He fashions himself as a homegrown guy w/ working class values, a harsh critic of big banks and Wall Street....says he/s just a Texas rube who/ll never have his name on a plane.
But wait a sec.....the whopper G/S loan makes Cruz look like more and more like a slickster....a slick pol, a powermonger who/ll go against his own principles to get into office.
Besides, Cruz/s drumbeat for H-1B/s never mentions that he was on the hook to H-1B user Goldman Sachs (big employers of H-1B/s) for over a million.
Ut oh ... apparently Donald found out Ted has more than one New York bank loan floating around. Conservative Treehouse. com has that story.
Ouch!!! That partnership is definately over.
I think Trump should look at Michelle Bachmann as VP. She’s a woman, a TP Conservative, and has been vocally supportive.
Natural Born Canadian. LOL. That one is going to sting Senator Cruzman Sachs.
We had a NYC uber driver tell us, “that Cruz guy is not eligible”. Lol.
And how many loans has Trump and his company taken out? What about the bankruptcies? What kind of deals did Trump make with the banks? They must own him, right?
And what about when Soros financed Trump's Chicago tower to the tune of 160 million. Using Trump's logic, has is Trump not owned by Soros?
Trump is really being dishonest.
Trump has always been my second choice. But at this point I can't stand him.
Trump wanted Cruze for VP. Trump even told him to get the citizenship situation clarified. Cruze chooses to react like a temper tantrum throwing child, and now he will not be President and he will not be Vice-President. Bad move by Ted Cruze.
