That’s exactly what I was wondering ... Cruz is owned by the globalist open-borders crowd

....donors to Priorities USA Action to help Hillary Clinton included: $3 million from Haim Saban...

BACKSTORY In her speech to the Saban Forum, Hillary Clinton announced that if Iran breaks Obama's deal that the USA must keep the Nuclear Option on the table.

Haim Saban is a huge donor to Democrats----to Hillary, and to The Clinton Foundation. Hillary says what Haim Saban wants her to say. .....proving once again....that an honest politician is one who, when bought, stays bought.

FYI--Hillary fanatic, Haim Saban, also has a non- profit. The Saban Center subsidized a 34-page white paper titled: Pathway to Coexistence: A New U.S. Policy toward Iran.

NO SURPRISE The Saban white paper essentially forecasted Obamas approach to dealing with Iran: (1) the largely hands-off approach to Irans bloody 2009 Green Revolution, and, (2) the present-day compromises on its nuclear program.

NOTE: Did SoS Hillary tell Obama her official advice was based on Haim Sabans input?

============================================

BACKSTORY The ties between the Clintons and Haim Sabans Spanish TV television network---UNIVISION---run deep. Univision newscasts gleefully bash Republicans and praise Hillarys ever-evolving positions on immigration. Jorge Ramos' daughter works for 2016 Hillary campaign (the same Ramos who bullied Trump). Univision Network Owner, Haim Sabans unabashed support for Hillarys election effort segued into a partnership between Univision and the Clinton Family Foundation.

====================================================

NY POST EXCERPT---Univision recently trotted out Bill Clinton to talk to advertisers----as private equity owners of the debt-laden company sweat it out. Univisions owners are hoping to launch an IPO to cash in bigtime. Getting early commitments on ad spending from Madison Avenue would certainly make an IPO road show before potential investors that much easier....they hope to raise around $1 billion at a valuation of $20 billion, according to Reuters.

(Univision has $9 billion in long-term debt.)

Mexican program provider Televisa also has an 8 percent stake. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank — the lead underwriters — are getting ready to gin up some sizzle for a not very sexy business: free-to-air.

==================================================

THE BIG BURRITO---HILLARY/BILL CLINTON MEDIA CONNECTION---WIKI Latino-TV Univision owner, Haim Saban, described his formula to influence American politics: make donations to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media outlets. Saban became involved in politics in the mid-1990s when he felt that support for Israel was slipping in the United States.

Saban has been a generous and consistent donor to the United States Democratic Party according to his mandatory Federal Election Commission filings. Mother Jones, in an analysis of the major donors to the campaigns of 1998 election cycle, ranked Saban 155th among individual donors.Amy Paris noted that Saban's Clinton-era "generosity did not go unrewarded. During the Clinton administration, the entertainment executive served on the President's Export Council, advising the White House on trade issues."

The New York Times reported that Haim and his wife "slept in the Clinton White House several times." Saban remains close friends with the former President. Clinton described Saban as a "very good friend and supporter."

Saban contributed between $5 million to $10 million to the William J. Clinton Foundation.

During the 2000 presidential election, Saban increased his rank to 5th among individual donors with a combined contribution of $1,250,500.[23] Matthew Yglesias wrote that "Saban was the largest overall contributor to the Democratic National Committee during the 2001–2002 cycle." [25] Saban's donations during that 2001–2002 period exceeded $10 million, the largest donation the DNC has received from a single source up to that time.

In September 2004, Hillary Clinton described Saban as a very good friend, supporter and adviser: "I am grateful for his commitment to Israel, to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and to my foundation's work, particularly on reconciliation issues."[5]

In May 2007, Haim publicly declared his support for Clinton in 2008 presidential election.

In June 2007, Saban and Steven Spielberg co-hosted a Hillary Clinton fundraiser at the house of Peter Chernin, the President of News Corporation.[26] According to the Los Angeles Times,[26] the fundraiser brought in over $850,000.

In March 2008, Saban was among a group of major Jewish donors to sign a letter to Democratic Party house leader Nancy Pelosi warning her to "keep out of the Democratic presidential primaries."[27] The donors, who "were strong supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign", "were incensed by a March 16 interview in which Pelosi said that party 'superdelegates' should heed the will of the majority in selecting a candidate."[27] The letter to Pelosi stated the donors "have been strong supporters of the DCCC" and implied, according to The Jewish Telegraphic Agency,[27] that Pelosi could lose their financial support in important upcoming congressional elections.

On May 19, 2008, it was reported that Haim Saban had "offered $1 million to the Young Democrats of America during a phone conversation in which he also pressed for the organization's two uncommitted superdelegates to endorse the New York Democrat."[28] Saban, a long-time supporter and donor of many pro- Jewish and Israel causes, has stated his main goal in multiple interviews: "I'm a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel."[38]

Haim Saban touts himself as a worldwide pioneer and leader in the entertainment industry---remember Power Rangers? He is the Chairman and CEO of Saban Capital Group, Inc.
