funny that people condemn Cruz for essentially borrowing his own money when his opponent, Trump, was perfectly comfortable working with banks for decades and for letting them bail him out of multiple messes:

I don’t have any issue with Trump for using bankers (and in the case of the Taj Majal using junk bonds to finance the deal at 14% which led to bankruptcy), nor do I have any issue with him using bankruptcy to protect himself. I do have an issue with his supporters calling the “kettle black” by not acknowledging that their guy, Trump, has a long, long history with bankers and banks that goes far beyond any that Cruz has.

But he didn’t take out a personal loan backed by his personal assets from Goldman Sachs and that’s all that matters./s

Trump’s “businesses” rely on favorable policies which were conveniently supplied through political bribes and kickbacks.

Cronyism is part of the problem and one of its main contributors is only going to expand on it. A paler version of Barak Hussain Obama with a bad toupee.

LOL. You name ONE illegal immigrant that is free in the U.S. now? You can't? I guess there aren't any, Obama got rid of them all, according to your theory! I guess McConnell, McCain, Obama are tough on illegals, because you can't name one!
(Hint: Real estate developers employ more illegals than anyone. Hey, have you ever been to a Home Depot?)

Yep, CAVEAT EMPTOR. We’re buying “as is” and what’s underneath the new shiny paint job may be very foul, indeed.

Very good point.
Few knew how the RAT political machine worked until Malkin/Beck outed them.

Despite reports about the project's record-breaking sales, most of them from Trump himself, many Chicago real estate developers and lenders have expressed doubts about whether the 90-story tower would ever be built.Uh, it got built. Click here.

I was aware of Soros long before that! Im certain that anyone doing business with him would have been as well.

Trump is beholden to no one! If he borrows money and can’t pay he just defaults.

I thought Trump and Cruz were a great combination but now they’re tearing each other apart and splitting us into factions.
Just another way the GOP snatches defeat from easy wins.
