Sorry NYT, Cruz's Goldman Sachs Loan Was Disclosed

[SNIP]

...."If you listen closely, you can hear the liberal media salivating at a chance to launch a multi-pronged attack against this hard core conservative, which would be eaten up by progressives who hate this man with every fiber of their being. This is liberal schadenfreude on display. Yet, is this a serious scandal, or another media misfire akin to Marco Rubio's parking tickets and his fishing boat? For now, outlets, like Reuters, Politico, NBC News, The Guardian, and CBS News, are all running with the narrative that Cruz didn't disclose this loan, except that he did. Phil Kerpen, president of the free market public policy group American Commitment, took to Twitter to offer a fact check.....

First, Cruz did disclose the loan on July 9, 2012; the runoff against then-Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst was on July 31. Now, the Cruz campaign did admit that there was a filing issue with the FEC, but to say this was "undisclosed" isn't accurate. Moreover, this loan was reported in Roll Call on June 3, 2013:"...........

**********************************

Donald Trump is OWNED by Every Bank on Wall Street

"....... at various times Donald Trump has had hundreds of millions of dollars in loans from Citibank and Goldman, some of which have been repaid, some of which were discharged in bankruptcy when Trump's Altantic City casino went belly up. By Trump's own standard, Citibank and Goldman own him, too.

But of course, it's much worse than that for Trump. As a twitter user pointed out, according to Trump's most recent financial disclosures, he has hundreds of millions of dollars in loans from virtually every bank on Wall Street. Here is a copy of the form.".....

You want to point fingers but you don’t want to point them at Trump.

Because you evidently don’t know how to define slander.

That’s as foolish as saying your credit card debts influence your political decisions. You vote the way American Express wants you to so they will give you a credit card. ;-)

Slander: the action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person’s reputation.

Just WHERE did I mention "disclosure"/"nondisclosure" ?

What I said, and I am stating a FACT, is that he LIED to the populace of the state of Texas and he did. He "liquidated" nothing.

I have friends and family living in Texas and you have what....some stupid TWEET from some unknown nobody.

King is GOPe? LOL. The Trumpsters have certainly lost all perspective. In order to believe Donald is conservative, they’ve had to convince themselves everyone who really is conservative isn’t. Cognitive dissonance theory at work.

all that matters is that he says that he is going to build a wall
*************
That’s not true. Not even close. Mexico is going to pay for it. Others say “no way” because they are losers and have a no can do attitude.

Let the voting begin. Make America Great Again.

LOL what’s confusing for you is this: Trump can’t be held to the same standard as RINO GOPe candidates because he is not a career politician.

This election is bringing out all of the Establishment ghouls from the woodwork.

Imagine slandering Sarah Palin like King just did.

GOPe — just like Cruz.

Trump, king of free media, finally bankrolls campaign

"Donald Trump finally put his money where his mouth is - loaning his presidential campaign $10.8 million in the last three months of last year, accounting for 80 percent of all the cash he brought in, according to a report filed Sunday night with the Federal Election Commission.

In all, the billionaire real estate showman - whose improbable front-running campaign for the GOP nomination is centered around the idea that his wealth makes him incorruptible - has lent or donated $12.8 million to his campaign."...

And the sure defense of slander is... the truth.

Which is why Palin/Sheriff Joe et all should sue.

Cruz also lied when he said eminent domain made Trump rich. He lied when he said he never supported legalization of illegals. He lied when he said Mitch tricked him into supporting TPA. He lied when he said he did not know he was a Canadian citizen. etc, etc, etc. Ted Cruz is a liar.

Which the FEC tossed out.

The FEC in a close vote tossed out. Furthermore, Vanderplaat's statements are contradictory, and he admits to asking for money, claiming it was necessary. The Romney campaign also made the same assertions about Vanderplaats.

Not sure what the timing of the filing has to do with anything; I believe the release had to be done by Feb. 1, and all the campaigns (including Cruz) have been releasing their financials all evening.

“A poll of all Freepers? I missed the invitation.”

No you didn’t, you’ve just chosen not to participate, just like all those “I’ll show em folks who’ve let Barak Obama have two terms because they “didn’t like” his opponents. Well, I did’t like them either, but they were a hell of a lot better than Obola.

Donald TRUMP ADMITTED that he went bankrupt when he called it a good business decision.

Again ... what’s so news worthy about this factoid? Trump loaned his campaign money. Is this shock for somebody saying they re funding their own campaign? Is it the small donors? He s talked about small donations to his campaign in the past.

Did you want him to run to Goldman Sachs and take out a loan to fund his campaign?
