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

Posted on 05/09/2016 3:54:39 PM PDT by dynachrome

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.

Yet another rich a-hole globalist and self-lover.

Looks like a deeply principled Constitutionalist right there, huh?

Why, do you suppose, Trump donated to Harry Reid, the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee, John Kerry and Hillary Clinton?

How is this any different than the way Mr. Trump spread money around to Hillary et AL?

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.


All part of their plan.

How anyone can support the lying, sleazy untrusTED, with so many questionable operatives, is beyond me.

It will be good if that investment produces the same ROI.

Obvious questions like that are likely to get you in trouble around here these days.

This cannot be true. How can a conservative support a communist? All this disinformation is not working. Trump just stronger each day.

So, I don’t follow you.

Robert Mercer supported Cruz. Now Mercer supports Hillary through Renaissance Technologies, correct?

What is not to get about this?

I literally recoiled some years ago it started to occur to me most of these people in D.C. were flat out lying to America and everything they did was not a benefit America or our people who continued in decline year after year.

But it took decades of lawless violent borders to completely 100% convince me those in both parties were nothing but lying evil disciples of deceit who have done nothing but aid and abet America’s decline in every direction.

I have nothing but contempt for most in both parties today.

This article is pure, unadulterated BULLCRAP. The author did not even bother to do the most basic research with the tools available to him.

A little more clicking on the opensecrets.org will reveal the individual donors involved in each contribution. If you look for the source of the Cruz donations, you will find that they come from Robert Mercer, not James Simons as claimed in the article:

https://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/contrib_all.php?cmte=C00575373&type=A&cycle=2016

Meanwhile, the contributions to the Clinton campaign came from two completely different individuals, Henry and Marsha Laufer from Lantana, FL (whoever THEY are):

https://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/contrib_all.php?cmte=C00495861&type=A&cycle=2016

The only thing in common between these two is that they list the same employer.

Please pay attention to the following post on the opensecrets.org website:

The money came from the organizations' PACs; their individual members, employees or owners; and those individuals' immediate families. At the federal level, the organizations themselves did not donate, as they are prohibited by law from doing so.

and try not to make such utter FOOLS of yourselves in the future.

Honestly, I will not be at all surprised if we see a Clinton/Jeb Bush ticket. I’m serious.

Yes. And then I ask myself, “Who is the author of deceit?”

It’s been an amazing year for me, in that I have prayed daily asking God to rip the veil of evil and expose it to good-hearted people, that they may see who is Good and who is Evil.

And He has been doing it, for all who have eyes to see and ears to hear.
