The New York Times is poring over the Ted Cruz finances like they were Sarah Palin emails.

It's a shame they weren't as thorough investigating the pre-paid credit cards that were used to fund both of Barack Obama's campaigns.

Cruz comes across to me as a slime ball. I don’t trust him.

Can’t speak about the second loan, but Cruz may have been trying to
hide his relationship with Goldman Sachs.

After all, Goldman Sachs and Wallstreet are despised.

By the time the MSM is finished “investigating” Cruz, Rubio,
and Trump, the only “clean” candidate will be our weakest,
Jeb Bush!

“Media Reports A Second Wall Street Banking Loan ‘Inadvertently Omitted’ By Candidate Ted Cruz…”

This is not good. Too much bad stuff coming out about Cruz all of a sudden, and most of it is self-inflicted, regardless of the motives of those exposing this information.

It’s good this stuff is coming out now as it would be devastating if Cruz was to get the nomination and THEN this (and I’m guessing more) comes out later.

I just hope Trump’s closets of skeletons have all been cleared out by now and that there’s nothing major left to skewer him with after the nomination.

Standing by to hear Cruz talk about controlling legal authority and the definition of the word “is”.

He’s an elitist just like the Clintons, and learned his lessons well at those Ivy League schools and while burnishing his legal credentials within the elite circles.

Perhaps if Cruz had $10 billion, he wouldn’t have to get loans or declare bankruptcies...oh wait

They investigated NOTHING on Obama...and still haven’t. It makes me crazy.

This article is very slanted. (surprise, surprise)

For those that didn’t read it...this happened during his Texas Senatorial campaign. It’s not a Federal issue. Texas will more that likely address this.

If anyone doesn’t realize that Cruz is bought and paid for by the Goldman Sachs/Citicorp globalists, it’s time to wake up and smell the coffee.

You can’t campaign against Wall Street and at the same time take their money. Unless your name is Clinton OR Cruz.

This is such a non-story. Cruz declared all of the money; it was a question of “how” he declared the loans.

It was explained to me this way:

“The question here becomes one of whether there is a difference between a campaign receiving a loan directly from a lender or an individual (the candidate in this case) taking out a personal loan and then applying the money to the campaign.

The reason there’s a distinction here is that in the case of a failed election bid, the former scenario leaves the campaign account on the hook for repaying the debt, but in the latter case the individual is in debt as with any other personal loan.”

Cruz has asked for a ruling from the FEC and will amend his filing, if needed.

Nothing illegal, just political feces thrown against a wall to see what sticks. Still voting for Cruz.

oh .. really ... a second loan. Oh my! Doesn’t Ted Cruz know only rich people and fat cats are supposed to run for President?

I hope I’m wrong, but I think the loans issue is serious.

Cruz is smart enough to know loans from the very Wall Street banks he attacked during his senate campaign would hurt him if they became known to the general public. It’s just a bit too coincidental that there were TWO loans, and he just happened to forget them both.

Sorry, I’m not buying it.

Would, as an example, a billionaire hedge-fund manager (Robert Mercer), who is in a legal fight with the IRS to the tune of $10 BILLION taxes owed, be willing to invest several million, perhaps tens of millions, into a presidential campaign in an effort to win the White House and influence a U.S. Tax Policy that would tilt the IRS scales in his favor – and consequently save him billions?

That's NEW YORK billionaire Robert Mercer -- who handed Ted Cruz's PAC a cool $11 million last year, the largest single contribution to any candidate's PAC by any contributor this cycle. Mercer also raised another $21 million for the PAC from other New York hedge fund managers.

Love those values!
