Renaissance Technologies, a hedge fund founded by billionaire James Simons, donated over $13 million to Sen. Ted Cruzs failed presidential campaign. For a guy whos supposed to be pretty smart with his money, the ROI on that one has got to sting. Nevertheless, now that Mr. Cruz is out of the race, Mr. Simons has begun pouring millions of dollars into Hillary Clintons campaign, with Renaissance Technologies donating over $2 million to Ms. Clinton so far this election cycle. Euclidean Capitalalso owned by Mr. Simonshas given the Clinton campaign over $7 million in contributions, and such figures are likely to increase as Ms. Clinton slowly transitions her attention from Democratic Primary opponent Bernie Sanders to the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump.

Who was Harry Reid?
You don’t know. Good Lord what happened to you folk’s thinking caps?
Yes. There it the enormity of the deception, and the willingness to open our eyes and see how much we’ve been “played”, and where we go from here.
As far as these donors, they wouldn’t be able to give/buy, if it wasn’t accepted by the pols. it’s the Gov’t “Public Servants” that concern me. That they willingly accept funds is blatant Bribery.
Their attitude? “Who cares if it’s against the law? Laws? I spit on your laws and you American People. I want MINE!”
What happened to your principles would be a better question. There is no difference between this corporatist and yours except in degree. Evidently this guy has more screw you money.

That is the universal truth. Harry Reid comes into the senate with a net worth of less than $500,000 and he now leaves with over $30 million. How does that work?
Nancy Pelosi is even worse. She was worth $20 million coming in. Now she is in the $100 million range.
America has a death wish.
Good point. The good old boys are wanting to make sure the status quo continues in the District of Corruption. That’s how they got all their money. An “outsider” would screw all of that up.
Do you thinkthere’s much difference between those two numbers when you’re a billionaire? I have my doubts.
Actually, when people realize what is happening they are not too stupid. Trump flushed out this big joke of an election and tens of millions of people know they are being swindled.
Voters are very, very clear on this. That in itself is very positive. People resent being swindled and if they can fight back they will crawl over glass to fight back.
Noted.
“Harry Reid comes into the senate with a net worth of less than $500,000 and he now leaves with over $30 million. How does that work?”
Hard work and perseverance?
Just dumb luck?
You’ve been the backbone here since the beginning, with Solid core values, per your home page testimony, below.
Please be patient with fellow member’s beliefs and doubts.
Candidates are flawed more than ever - they lack clear righteous conviction, because we the people have strayed far away from God and faith.
In these awfully ambiguous times, and we need to encourage fellow conservatives / FR members where ever possible.
I’m afraid we’re dwindling in numbers, year by year...

The Cruz folks have gone mental.
They can get with the program or leave.”

I publicly confirm my acknowledgment that God the Father, Jesus His Son and the Holy Ghost are the Rulers of the Universe
I desire them to be the Keepers of My Soul, the Guardians of all those I hold dear to my heart
Those who know me on this forum, know that I am far from perfect
Although that is true, I don’t want to leave any doubt that I know there is a Holy Trinity
that They are omnipotent and deserving of my devotion
It may not always look like it, but when the chips are down, They have that devotion above all others
I do believe it is my duty to respect my fellow man
I also believe that I fail that duty more often than I would like
Here’s to a constantly expended effort to do better
“For me, the problem isnt the giving, its the receiving.”
It’s an investment. These people did not get rich being stupid and profligate with their money. They expect a good rate of return - and it will be one hell of a lot better than you will get on your savings account.
Works pretty well for them! For us, we keep getting poorer and poorer, as they pillage the American middle class.
Before DJT, there was no viable recourse. That’s why, no matter how he may turn out, if “they” actually allow him into the Oval Office, he represents our one last sliver of hope.
No, he was buying. Not a big difference.
Bring in the DC Insider Party is more important than being in the Republican Party.
Hard work and perseverance on a $175,000 a year salary. Right!
Hillary said when they left the White House and now she is worth $2.5 billion. Boy! does she work hard.
Darrel Issa’s fortune is cresting $300 million.It would appear that a lot of these congress critters are very very hard working and make genius-like investments.
I disagree.
It's different on many levels, but especially in light of the fact that we're talking about millions of dollars here, sweetheart, not just a couple grand.
That's several orders of magnitude more.
Are you really so dense as to not understand the glaring difference?
Please leave this site if you're "NeverTrump".
Vote Trump!
