funny that people condemn Cruz for essentially borrowing his own money when his opponent, Trump, was perfectly comfortable working with banks for decades and for letting them bail him out of multiple messes:

I don’t have any issue with Trump for using bankers (and in the case of the Taj Majal using junk bonds to finance the deal at 14% which led to bankruptcy), nor do I have any issue with him using bankruptcy to protect himself. I do have an issue with his supporters calling the “kettle black” by not acknowledging that their guy, Trump, has a long, long history with bankers and banks that goes far beyond any that Cruz has.

Using a bank to finance construction is one thing, looking to a bank to finance a political campaign is another. Especially when is comes time for another bailout.
