After bashing bankers, including his wife's employer Goldman Sachs, he invites them to a Harvard Club fundraiser.
NEW YORK -- This Monday, assorted bankers, traders and Wall Street lawyers will gather inside the neo-Georgian walls of the Harvard Club in midtown Manhattan to write big checks to an unlikely recipient: Ted Cruz.
Cruz, who attended Harvard Law School, isn't one to trade too heavily on old school ties and friendships at the likes of Goldman Sachs, where his wife works. On the campaign trail, the Texas senator has railed against Wall Street crony capitalism, ripped giant banks as too big to fail and wrapped himself in populist garb in his quest to take down Donald Trump. But now he's desperate: Cruz, who has already received $12 million in support from the financial industry, needs Wall Street money more than ever.
Given the formidable stakes, many on Wall Street are paying attention to Cruz's overtures. Some say they dislike both Cruz and Trump, but will come to the aid of Cruz as the lesser evil. Others find Cruz's anti-Wall Street rhetoric, combined with his role in promoting Washington gridlock, too objectionable to overcome.

Jim and Tammy Faye come to mind.
Of course not, when you are part of the establishment, there is no level to which you won't stoop to for power.
Remember, with Cruz, the ends justify the means.
That's what happens when one believes he is "The Chosen One"; rules, mores, and ethics are mere handmaidens to "The Goal".
History is replete with these types of leaders, and things normally don't go well with the ones who follow them unreservedly.
Thankfully, the GOP won't allow Cruz to get that far; he's nothing but a useful tool for THEIR goals.
Do you seriously think we’ll accept a candidate who has to be compared to the Clintons to justify their activities?
_______________________________________________________
No you choose to support a candidate who has contributes to the Clinton’s and their activities withhis own money. Who BTW gave more to the Clinton’s than the 9-11 first responders or Wounded Vets orgs.
Ted’s a mess!
He's certainly headed somewhere...
It comes with a card that says “Deputy Delegate”, according to the solicitation.
5$, 10$, 20$, whatever it takes.
5,000$ 10,000$ 20,000$ whatever it takes
The cry of the desperate Ted Cruz.
I think Ted actually believes the Dominionist crap, he really does imagine himself the “Seventh King”, and that’s scary s***.

Youre still delusional.
He’s not delusional, he’s lying....
Well, it’s what he’s been fed for dinner for a long time.
People aren’t talking much about his VAT proposal. Or his postcard income tax and how that would come about. Or what happens if/when 0bamacare ceases. Or about the surveillance/monitoring of us. Or what he’d do for the military, NATO, vets. Or AGW.
Specifics.
Then there’s the H1B, H2, L1, and all the other myriad programs to bring in foreign workers.
Admittedly, he ran a good game for a while as the “Outsider”. Now, he's another status quo candidate.
Do they have no shame? No they don’t. End Justifies the Means mentality.
Such a man of the people!
Such an outsider LOL.
I wonder if he sent a letter to 40 Wall Street. ya know Trump Towers.
-—thats funny coming from a Trumpkin who supports a man who is a democrat

That’s where your wrong. If Trump were a democrat, the GOP would not be fighting against him. They would probably even outline a memo stating that his hair was not to be mentioned...
Carry on.
I thought Glenn Beck was Cruz’s deputy?
What next we can send lying Moses $20 bucks and be his Israelites following him into the promise land?
Throw teddy the anchor he’s not thinking fast enough for me.
