Wealthy Cruz Donor Pours Millions Into Clinton Campaign
Observer ^ | 5-9-16 | Michael Sainato

enaissance Technologies, a hedge fund founded by billionaire James Simons, donated over $13 million to Sen. Ted Cruz’s failed presidential campaign. For a guy who’s supposed to be pretty smart with his money, the ROI on that one has got to sting. Nevertheless, now that Mr. Cruz is out of the race, Mr. Simons has begun pouring millions of dollars into Hillary Clinton‘s campaign, with Renaissance Technologies donating over $2 million to Ms. Clinton so far this election cycle. Euclidean Capital—also owned by Mr. Simons—has given the Clinton campaign over $7 million in contributions, and such figures are likely to increase as Ms. Clinton slowly transitions her attention from Democratic Primary opponent Bernie Sanders to the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump.

Too bad Simons didn’t burn 100 million so I could have laughed harder : )

Hillary Clinton stood next to the coffin of an American soldier and lied to his parents’ face.

The next time someone says they are voting for Hillary “out of principle,” remind them of that fact.

That’s a lot of $$$ to flush away. Hope the hidabeast’s bribe is flushed away, too.

Not surprising at all. Rafael lost the nomination fight in South Carolina. After that, he was all in for Hillary trying to inflict as much damage as possible on Trump. If she wins, he can run again in 4 years.

Makes perfect sense to me. Ideology is just window dressing to these types.

The plan the entire time was to use Cruz to take out Trump and save $$$ in the General.
Now Clinton is going to have to spend $200M+ to defeat Trump vs 10M to defeat Cruz.

“Real principled type there. From backing Cruz to backing hildabeast? “

What you have to understand is the term “real principled” has only to do with this turd’s wallet. These people are actually completely “unprincipled” as regards this country and the welfare of its people. The way things have turned out, we would be ahead of the game if we burned all our “business schools” to the ground. They too are unprincipled. Their ONLY CONCERN is teaching that the bottom line is the only line that matters.

Sure makes you wonder what he wants or needs from Washington DC. He knows he won’t get it from Trump.

“Maybe Hillary will name Cruz as her running mate.”

Careful, he’d probably switch his team to didling the Democrat Convention to see if he could screw Hillary out of the nomination.
