BACKSTORY Cruz/s Senate election fairy tale has become legendary.
Cruz/s campaign narrative.....portraying himself as a scrappy populist putting everything on the line to overcome a wealthy establishment opponent.
He was whining in the media, telling trusting Texans that that he, and his faithful little wife, were forced to liquidate their entire family savings (of slightly more than $1 million) to fuel a come-from-behind win in the Republican primary.
NOW TRUSTING TEXANS LEARN Cruz did not liquidate family assets.....he got his hands on over a million dollars from his hefty margin accounts at G/S and Citibank......and did not disclose this on FEC reports (to keep it a secret from trusting Texans).
Cruz did not disclose loans on FEC reports (required by law) b/c Texans would have discovered he was not the aw-shucks rube he pretended to be. He continued the rube act in order to milk votes from trusting Texans.
At the same time, he also did not disclose he was a dual Canadian citizen......the Harvard-educated lawyer w/ two Ivy League degrees said he didn't know.
Good victory lap, Liz.
Cruz is doing a DISASTROUS job of spinning this.
If he fails to turn this around, it’s better we see his glass jaw now than to see it after he’s nominated.
Of possible interest flashback....

Thanks for the summation. Anyone who believes Cruz didn’t know he was a dual citizen has gone too far in their support. It’s like an Obot insisting that not only did Obama not claim to his own literary agent that he was born in Kenya, he had no idea they were advertising him that way. If you have to make yourself look moronic to believe your candidate, you’ve sacrificed all objectivity and put blind faith in its place.
I.e.: you’ve gone too far.

Are these suicide attacks on conservatives initiated at the squad level, or do you wait for a signal to be flashed from New York?
