Heidi Cruz is her husband’s not-so-secret weapon, but could she hurt his campaign?

Except for perhaps Bill Clinton, no candidate’s spouse in the 2016 presidential campaign has proved as productive and effective as Heidi Cruz.

Beyond the mother-of-two charm that softens Sen. Ted Cruz’s hard edges, and her deep Christian faith, the California-born Heidi Cruz, 43, is an accomplished executive and political adviser — more in the model of Democrats like Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton than Republicans like Laura Bush.

Her impressive resume includes a master’s degree in business administration from Harvard University, a stint in the George W. Bush White House and a high-paying job at investment giant Goldman Sachs, where she gained the Wall Street savvy that has made her a fundraising dynamo.

But also perhaps with the exception of former President Clinton, no other political spouse faces as much risk of turning from asset to liability.

Heidi Cruz’s links to Goldman, where she has taken a leave of absence as managing director of the private wealth management office in Houston, are beginning to distract from her husband’s populist message as a crusader against the moneyed interests of Wall Street and Washington.

Heidi is a managing director at GSCO

NOT A PARTNER

she is kind of like a captain in the Army ......in the Goldman World....not partner yet which actually is a big deal

She runs the Houston private assets division....had large portfolio under management

Nothing sinister I can glean

“Imagine the howl today”

No kidding. That album cover had an innocent quality to it but a pic like that might get you charged with a crime in this era of Zero Tolerance zealotry. And if the girl had been holding a toy gun instead of an airplane it would bring enhanced punishment.

Let’s not forget Stevie Nicks nippulus erectus on the uncensored Buckingham Nicks debut

Long Distance Winner

I can still hear that song......”sunflowers and your face fascinate me......”

Girls loved that song in 73-74 in the Deep South

They had a huge following in the Jackson MS and Birmingham and Mobile and Dallas markets

So I’m told

That following in the South is what kept Stevie from giving up music entirely IIRC. It kept them going long enough to get the invite from Fleetwood Mac.

Happy for that.

She contributed a lot, and I never got tired of listening to her performances, even to this day.

Definitely hot. She will distract Bill Clinton while Hillary has another coughing fit.

Here's a version Wild Heart you might like that never made it to an album. A video of Stevie doing some impromptu singing before a photo shoot.
