Once a century you get a stable Warbux type like Trump. Everyone else is beholden to someone else. It depends on how wide or narrow the focus of the moneyed supporter is. I do not know who the fellow you mentioned in support of Cruz is, or what he would want. Time will tell.
Well, if Ted’s little dig against Trump on immigration is any clue, it’s apparent his donor is an anti-American Chamber of Commerce guy/gal.
I will tell you about Mr.Robert Mercer. He is an American computer scientist and co-CEO of Renaissance Technologies, a hedge fund on Wall Street. You know, one of the guys Trump intends on raising their taxes.
Mercer grew up in New Mexico and holds a bachelor’s degree in physics and mathematics from the University of New Mexico. He later received a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Illinois. In June 2014 he received the Association for Computational Linguistics Lifetime Achievement Award. As of 2014, Renaissance manages $25 billion.
He is a financial backer for the Ted Cruz “Keep the Promise†(KtP 1, KtP2 and KtP3) Super-PACs. Mercer is also the financial backing behind the Breitbart Media Group and Cambridge Analytica (I believe they do polling).
Mercer has a lot of money, media savvy, and he represents the power of Wall Street financiers, the Elite, who do not like Trump or middle-class Americans, you know, the vulgarians. And these Elite are financing Sen.Ted Cruz.
