Show me where Sen. Cruz has personally made several billion dollars by openly paying for politicians in each party, the very definition of a crony capitalist.

As I said President Cruz will not wave his magic wand and all crony capitalism will disappear. Not going to happen. But he is not personally lining his pockets like the clintons or trump. He is funding his direct campaign with individual donations, many, many of them coming from small donors like me. He is encouraging larger donors to donate through PACs, over which he has no direct control. These are the current laws. Perhaps it is regrettable that one likely needs a billion dollars in direct and indirect contributions to be a viable candidate for president. But in a country where the Federal Government spends nearly 4 TRILLION dollars, perhaps one shouldn’t be surprised. This is why it is vital that the next president be a strong constitutionalist committed to a smaller goverment. Trump is an archetypal crony capitalist who is committed mostly to a big government that works better.

Cruz owes his political existence to the wall street crowd. If you think for one second he is not going to dance to wall street's tune like the past umpteen presidents you are naive.

His wife works for Goldman Sachs and Cruz has already gone on record of supporting TPP. That alone should put a chill down your spine...unless you have no idea what TPP is.
