Ted Cruz Failed to Report a Second Campaign Loan
New York Times ^ | JAN. 15, 2016 | MIKE McINTIRE

How forgetful for a guy with a photographic memory. That story that you funded your campaign with your cashed in assets, it isn't true, you told it so many times and left something big out. This is big trouble for TED since the amount is very large.

One is ‘inadvertant’, two is a pattern of stealth.

You are to funny. When you do it, it is okay. When someone else does it you are upset.

That was the Goldman loan—as I understand it the Citi loan was just a personal loan without any identified collateral.

This is such a non-story yet Hillary allows people to die in Benghazi, and nary a word about it.

Disgusting.

Oh, and a collateralized loan is not just a loan to oneself, Ellie Mae.

Yeah—keep with the name calling when you’re called out for pushing false facts. That’s a really effective line of argument.

A Grubber gotta do what a Grubber does, just keep repeating a lie even though he knows it’s a lie.

It’s the democrat way.

He has echoic memory. Not photographic. Can't even get the basics right.

So if someone had sung the loan agreement, he'd remember; in written form, not so much.

Cruz is being torn to shreds by Trump - deservedly so.

Don’t pass yourself off as so against “New York values” with such obvious examples of hypocrisy with Wall Street banks and Manhattan gay financiers.

What a huge hypocrite.

Better he is opened up and gutted now - the Democrats would have had a field day with him.

Cruz is toast.

“The FEC insists big loans are reported since otherwise it would get around the finance laws and allow big donors never to be held to account, allow money laundering, and allow loans to be silent income. Iowa Bible Thumpers are not going to like all this law breaking by a guy who knows better.”

I can only imagine the commercials that Dewhurst (his Primary opponent) could have made against Cruz, had Cruz properly disclosed the loan.

Clearly there was an incentive to delay disclosure, which is what’s giving people something to wonder about regarding this affair (and also giving the media justify to write copy on it).

Get back to me when the LSM finishes its investigation of Clinton Cash and Obama’s funny money, as well as Trump’s sleazy business dealings.

Therein lies the truth.

“Get back to me when the LSM finishes its investigation of Clinton Cash and Obama’s funny money, as well as Trump’s sleazy business dealings.’

Hillary’s legal problems are like a crack in the Hoover Dam and that crack is getting bigger.

When it breaks all hell is going to be turned loose and nobody that’s “friends” with the Clintons is going to be safe.

That is why Trump and the Clintonites are doing everything possible to keep Hillary’s legal problems out of the news and Cruz’s fake legal problems in the news.

Trumpsters/Clintonites keep repeating the same lies about Cruz to keep people from talking about anything but Hillary’s problems.

I can’t wait for the day when Trump has to answer the question “What did you know about the Clintons and when did you know it”.

Except it was debunked. He did report it. Anyways, I was making a comment on the lack of accuracy in reporting.

True. Right now it’s just Cruz defending himself and his conservative values from the leftist MSM. Trump is standing on the sidelines cheering them on. But Cruz has nothing to hide. I think he will defend himself and move on to serve his conservative supporters. Cruz is the real deal and he needs to get his message out. Trump stupidly has given him the stage and pronounced it’s “showtime”.

Trump OTH, is used to working “deals” for himself, not serving the interest of others. I’m not sure how this is going to work out in the long run for us fellow conservatives. I believe he has little tolerance for any criticism and a temperament to match his New York values. Right now Trump is sailing along with the MSM at his back. I fear his ego and anger will be his downfall when the MSM turns to Hillary and his time comes.

In the meantime, you can expect Trump will continue to plant his the seeds of doubt and watch them to grow into a nomination.

If you read it in the paper it must be true. Would they intentionally mislead us? /s

No such thing as a photographic (eidetic) memory in adults. It’s a rare phenomenon in children that they grow out of.

Anyway, FU NEW YORK SLIMES!
