Cruz is much more establishment than a lot of FReepers think, or would like to believe. Less so than Bush, comparable to Jindal, far more than any other aspirant.
He has two Ivy League degrees, had a distinguished legal and policy run in DC, and is enthusiastically backed when he tours the centimillionaires and billionaire abodes on the West Side of LA and the Upper East Side of NY.
“Cruz is much more establishment than a lot of FReepers think, or would like to believe.”
The biggest red flag with respect to Ted Cruz is his wife’s position as an executive of Goldman Sachs. Goldman is the worst of the “too big to fail” Wall Street Banks. It is the lead bank of the global banking cartel that has done so much to destroy the USA during the past 50 years. George Bush’s third Secretary of the Treasury and father of the bank bailouts with taxpayer money, Hank Paulson, was a former Goldman CEO. Jon Corzine, another Goldman CEO, was a corrupt New Jersey politician (Governor and US Senator) after leaving Goldman plus he has escaped prosecution for the billions stolen from MF Global customers. Goldman was a significant financial contributor to the election of Barack Obama in 2008. The bankers at Goldman are notorious for making money on both sides of financial transactions, yet somehow the bank escapes prosecution for blatant conflict of interest.
Mrs. Cruz sits comfortably in the executive suite at Goldman while her husband runs around the country opposing crony capitalism and leftist politicians owned by Goldman Sachs. Is this coincidence, a sign of tolerance by the leftist statists who also occupy the boardroom at Goldman, or evidence Cruz is just another actor playing his role in the kabuki theater show put on for the sheeple?
If Cruz is a patriot true and conservative, how can he and his wife be associated with a corrupt criminal financial organization, allied with leftist globalist statists, and strongly supportive of government actions suppressing liberty? Why is Mrs. Cruz able to maintain her status as a Goldman insider and decision maker?
