This is a little old but I missed it so I'll post it here...This seems to suggest Ted Cruz is NOT anti-establishment; not anti-GOPe as I think I have been led to believe...Ted is not against big money lobbyists controlling the members of Congress...This also seems to sugges Cruz is against the Veteran's Administration and all gov't departments that help Americans in need...

Cruz is not who he has portrayed himself to be.

His mask slipped when he blamed Trump for the leftist anarchists disrupting his events.

Trump has “ties” with Goldman Sachs as well — many millions of dollars in loans (some of which he didn’t repay), and he’s also an investor.

Just as Trump is not evil for working with GS, Cruz is not evil for working with GS.

Trumpsters sure sound a lot like Democrats when they argue against Cruz.

Heidi Cruz: I don’t. Ted doesn’t have an anti Wall Street sentiment. He has an anti government support sentiment, an anti-relying on government for their well-being.

Ted Cruz is for free market capitalism and against crony-capitalism. Isn't that what conservatives are supposed to be for?

Ted Cruz voted against the Wall Street bailout and Trump supported it. That pretty much says it all. But Trump supporters will still try to say up is down and black is white.

As she should. She should also grill Hillary on the content of her Goldman Sachs speeches.

Isn’t it amazing that CNN is now becoming more honorable in its reporting than Faux News? Really Ramos asking Clinton about being indicted and not letting go? 360’s fair interviews with Trump it’s eerie.

WERE CRUZ/S GOLDMAN SACHS/CITIBANK LOANS PROPERLY COLLATERIZED?

Ted Cruz has rebuffed a request by Federal Election Commission to disclose more information about some $1 million in loans he received from two major Wall Street banks during his 2012 Senate campaign.

In a letter to the FEC this week, the treasurer of Cruz’s 2012 campaign turned down a request by agency auditors that it fill out a public form spelling out “the complete terms” of two personal loans Cruz received from Goldman Sachs and Citibank– the proceeds of which, he has since acknowledged, he used to finance his upstart race for the Senate.

“They’re stalling on what they should have disclosed four years ago,” charged Craig MacDonald, executive director of Texans for Public Justice, a liberal advocacy group that has filed one of two complaints with the FEC over the loan issue. “This is a critical point in the presidential campaign and they don’t want any more new information about it coming out now.”

The Cruz campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But in his March 8 letter to the FEC, Bradley Knippa, the treasurer of Cruz’ 2012 campaign, offered this explanation for not responding to the request from FEC auditors:

It is already cooperating with another arm of the agency, its enforcement division, which is conducting a separate review of the loans in response to the complaints filed by MacDonald and another advocacy group. And those reviews are conducted under strict confidentiality rules that, Knippa argued, forbid making any more information public. (Excerpt) Read more at yahoo.com

========================================

In Texas, Cruz/s Senate election fairy tale has become legendary......portraying himself to trusting Texans as a scrappy populist putting everything on the line to overcome a wealthy establishment opponent.

He was whining in the media, telling trusting Texans that he, and his faithful little wife (a $700,000 globalist lawyer employed by G/S), were forced to liquidate their entire family savings (of slightly more than $1 million) to fuel a come-from-behind win in the Republican primary.

NOW TEXANS LEARN Cruz did not liquidate family assets.....he got his hands on over a million dollars from his hefty margin accounts at G/S and Citibank......and did not disclose this on FEC reports (to keep it a secret from Texans).

Cruz did not disclose loans on FEC reports (required by law) b/c Texans would have discovered he was not the aw-shucks rube he pretended to be. He continued the rube act in order to milk votes from Texans.

At the same time, he also did not disclose he was a Canadian citizen......the Harvard-educated lawyer w/ two Ivy League degrees said he didn/t know.

When the Dallas Morning News published Cruz/s Canadian birth certificate, Cruz put Texans through the charade of renouncing his Canadian citizenship.....even though Canada did not recognize dual citizenship at the time of his birth.

In light of the Cruz Campaign emails that Heidi was ‘worried sick’, it now appears that she has fully recovered.

"Ted doesn’t have an anti Wall Street sentiment."

Glad she cleared that up. We wouldn't want people thinking that Cruz was anti-establishment.

I do jot have a problem with Goldman Sachs or with Wall Street. My only problem is with crony capitalism, and I have seen no signs of that in Ted Cruz. Just the reverse. He is the best advocate we have for small, honest government.
