Please, please, take a close look at Ted Cruz’ resume. What was he doing when he met his wife? Who did he help get elected as a lawyer in Florida in 2000? Whose Commerce Department did he work for after that?
The battle with David Dewhurst for the Senate set was so much Kabuki theater. They are both Bush retainers. The Bushes planned to use Ted’s naturally obnoxious personality to fool Conservatives into thinking he was one of them. Look at what he actually accomplished for Conservatives in the Senate.
Did he stop the Gang-of-Eight Bill in the Senate? No. Did he stop Trade Promotion Authority in the Senate? No. Did he stop the Corker Amendment that gave us the Iran Deal? No.
If you don’t have a problem with Wall Street in general or Goldman-Sacks in particular, then this tells me that you really aren’t paying attention. Your analysis of what happened in Atlantic City also shows that you don’t understand what actually happened. Atlantic City was going bust, and Donald Trump got out before it was completely gone. Making a bank eat the loan they gave you does not give them any leverage over you.
Making a bank eat your loan is called deadbeat.
