The Big Conversation

The pivotal and increasingly more difficult to predict GOP presidential primary in New Hampshire will happen tomorrow. As the Tribune's Abby Livingston reports, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is campaigning with an urgency similar to his efforts in Iowa.

"Cruz already has an Iowa victory under his belt, and will soon turn to Republican supporters better aligned with his message in Southern states in the coming weeks," Livingston wrote. "But he is campaigning here in New Hampshire as if there is not tomorrow: come Tuesday, he will have made at least 17 stops in a week's time."

Donald Trump has run strongly in the Granite State for a while now, and Livingston reports that the real race here is for second place with the four "establishment" candidates -- former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio -- "desperately need(ing) a strong finish here."

Livingston adds, "Cruz could displace them all and take the second-place red ribbon, or his appeal to base voters could prove tone deaf here."

The fact that Ted Cruz has a wife that’s an investment manager for Goldman Sachs is hardly a disqualification for President. Your smearing both Ted Cruz and his wife Heidi with innuendo (they own him) while absolutely refusing to scrutinize your candidate’s loans from Goldman Sachs and many others by the same standard, his financial backing of the Democratic Party, or his past positions on the issues. You refuse any vetting process with respect to your candidate.

Get it?

Probably not.

Please don’t give out any more financial advice because using the other guy’s money means debt, which reduces profitability, plus interest and increasing your liabilities makes your business worth less. That line works better for movie characters like Gordon Gecko.
