It's a well known fact, but it proves nothing. What it proves is that yes he greased hands because you have to in business. It's a reality. My point was, how many of these donors supporting Cruz have themselves supported liberal Democratic candidates? They may be as guilty as Trump in that respect. Bottom line, is it doesn't really matter to me. But if you think this does not give these donors influence over Cruz, think again. Support comes with strings attached. Cruz is a realist and knows he needs their support. What we don't know is what concessions will he have to make down the road as the payback for their support.
To put it another way, Ted Cruz is not as pure as the driven white snow either.
what do you want? govt to fund campaigns??? It takes money to run a campaign especially if one is an outsider without name recognition.
Self funders do not impress me. Conservative politicians getting elected impresses me.
