The Goldman Sachs smear has got to be about the lamest attack in history. Cruz simply got a margin loan from the bank where his investment account was. It was a loan against his own money - it about the least invasive form of loan that you can get. You don’t even have to have a loan officer sign off on it.

Cruz simply got a margin loan from the bank

Cruz didn't say he got a margin loan from a bank. He said he liquidated his networth and spent his liquid savings. Cruz only liquidated a hundred or 200 thousand worth, then just got a loan and ended up increasing his savings and networth over the same time period a net 400,000.

Cruz wanted to create the false narrative that he was sacrificing all he had to be our senator, when, in truth, he just got a loan, which he hid from the FEC and only reported it on a financial disclosure form after his fight with Dewhurst was basically over... and even on that form, it didn't even say it was for his campaign. Here Cruz hides the truth from his followers through two layers, and it worked so well that no one called him on it until after he one his senate seat. How convenient.
