Did Cruz release a video of him taking an envelope stuffed with cash from Goldman Sachs? What about one from Citibank?

Cruz is getting desperate. But I don’t blame him now that he is losing is Iowa.

What the Hell is wrong with you people? Cruz is on our side. Keep this crap up and the GOPe will get a nominee.

Cruz is the only true conservative in this race and he is treated on this forum as if he is a liberal pig.

Trump is a showman who might have a few conservative positions but his track record on supporting conservative issues is mighty thin.

"Did Cruz release a video of him taking an envelope stuffed with cash from Goldman Sachs? "

Is that what we're calling a loan nowadays? What do we call a credit card? Gold doubloons?

Cruz is not allowed to accept a loan?

And while it's been said that Trump is paying for his campaign primarily out of his own pocket, I would like to see some real
journalist examine how much of his campaign is really being financed by others...such as the GOPe or the Democrats.

... Trump, as I have said on prior occasions is a charlatan. He is not a conservative at all. He is not now and never has been one. Outside of immigration (which is far more based on phony populism than policy), his views on taxes, healthcare, foreign policy and trade carry all the hallmarks of a progressive Democrat.
You cannot handle the truth. You have been played by the great salesman selling himself.
Ted is not desperate. It is game on. Why did you think Ted was in this race? He is telling the truth.
Ted fights with facts.
DT fights with lies, intimidation, name calling and innuendo.

Lots of “Cruz Criminals in America. I know several that took envelopes stuffed with cash to buy houses.

One even took an envelope stuffed with cash fro a bank in plain view of the public to a car dealer and bribed them with it! AND THEY GOT A CAR!!!!!!

He took loans against stock he had. That was not free money as he had to pay it back or lose his stock. If one gets a loan, period, it has to be paid back. He borrowed the money, it was not given to him free, was not a political contribution by any bank.

Over my life, I borrowed money from banks to buy houses. They gave me the money, but I had to pay it back. That is what a loan is, pay it back.

“Cruz is getting desperate. “

If I have not said so yet, welcome to Free Republic.

Please don’t feel too disappointed when your opinions are totally disregarded and you are considered a troll. It is a gut reaction many of us conservatives have toward people who show up 6 or 7 years into Obama’s presidency to lend their support to the conservative cause.

Please be sure to get back to us with more of your opinions of the most conservative candidate AFTER you have a clear track record of conservative support yourself.

Thanks.

Borrowed against his own securities. Done by ordinary citizens every single day - it's called a margin account.

Facts are stubborn things.

I don’t understand the fixation some have with exposing that Trump isn’t a strong principled conservative.

Most people know that. It’s not a secret.

The problem is that self identified conservatives in DC and in politics have failed, while the democrats have enjoyed successive triumphs. Their voters just aren’t buying it anymore. They’re willing to try something new, as at least that way there’s a chance that some conservative goals can be met.

Sticking with the usual conservatives in government means there’s no chance.

What a pant load. Cruz got two loans secured by his own personal assets and you act like that’s a sin. Pathetic.

It is not even clear that the FEC requires a personal loan like that be reported. The loan was not made to the campaign and the campaign did not have to repay it.

So you have proof of Cruz taking bribes. Unlike Trump who announced with pride that he bribed democrats for favors because that’s how things get done in New York. Or is there video of Cruz doing so like the video of trump saying Partial Birth Abortions are ok and that gays in the military is good. How about the time Trump said if he wanted to run for president he would run as a Republican because the GOP is full of stupid people.(well, looking at who the GOP endorses, he may have a point there).

It sounds like you and Trump don't know how a margin loan works.

I'll explain it to you step by step.

If I go too fast, let me know.

Here it is.

Cruz owned a stock account.

Are you with me so far?

Now here comes the tricky part. Brace yourself.

Cruz took out a cash loan against the value of his stocks.

That's the tricky part.

If I lost you I can repeat it.

Was that too complicated?

Do you think it's too complicated for the Wharton grad?

No, of course not. The Wharton grad is lying.

Cruz owns Iowa, and California, so far.

But in the end, he’ll own most of them
