— Took me 10 minutes to track down who Cruz’s four big money donors are what their special interests are. —

And what were the amounts they gave? No names necessary, amounts will do.

And no Republican politician has yet found a way to defeat the [guilt by association] practice.

Ummmm.... one has, so far. Donald Trump. He makes Teflon look stone age. Being visibly confident no matter what is a huge part of that formula.

Having Cruz under his wing as a running mate might be a huge plus. Donald would be the defensive gun for any unfair (or even semi fair) questions concerning Cruz. Of course this wouldn't really be Donald; it would be the Lord's blessing using Donald. God has a way of upstaging all our preconceived ideas.

Almost anything would beat this dog and pony show we have had to put up with for seven years. Anything that is out from under the puppet strings of Washington politics (and especially Democrat, though GOP is learning how to stink too, never fear).

I would tell him by starting to let Jesus save him.

And yet you support someone whose wife poses nude while you'd lecture Cruz?! LOLOL

Bye.

Won't it be something? For the first time in eight years, I won't have to suppress my gag reflex and run to turn off the TV.

You want no names and no identification of interests?

Just money amounts?

That's exactly your problem.

Perhaps the founders should have put a little more controls on the first amendment, right? There's a reason why they didn't.

I prefer someone who can take on Washington and has experience in doing so....familiar with the landmines and knows who hides behind closed doors....and dares to expose them for what they are with facts to support it, which Cruz has been at it since he got there....

How many false Bye’s have you made by now, lol.

You’ll be back. Your obsession guarantees it.

The news that actually comes up on Google is that Melania “once posed nude.” Not the continual practice that you lyingly allege with malice.

Bring us the man or woman without sin.

This kind of functional family is what truly makes libs’ heads explode.

A neighbor of mine hates that Trump’s kids are productive, smart, and successful. I can’t even tell you how much she hates it. Of course, her two adult kids are losers and depend on Mom and Dad to do everything for them.

He has never been an executive. History itself shows that executives are better presidents.

Family-olatry is something to be politely avoided, though, lest a black sheep show up and we see another Duggaresque scandal.

Shoot, even Mitt Romney had a semi decent family.

Exactly. No nudies floating around, no cringing that he’s “Uncle Joe II”, no hate for Americans or switching positions in order to sell himself. Refreshing!

No nudies... are you SURE.

Duggaresque things have a way of coming to the light at the worst time.

This kind of thing happens when people go around screaming “HE’S A CHRISTIAN” rather than “LOOK AT THE CHRIST HE HAS.”

‘’Do you have any hard evidence of wrongdoing on Mrs. Cruz’s part? Or is it all guilt by association?’’

How about neither of those things? It’s a simple case of conflict of interest. If she has loyalties to her employer, whether on LOA or not, and her husband wants to please his wife, decisions easily could be tainted.

This is a common issue in government and private industry. Conflict of interest can lead to some very bad stuff.

Heres 25 million to Cruz from 3 people alone (an individual and two brothers).

http://wtop.com/politics/2015/07/news-guide-super-pacs-land-wealthy-donors-to-fund-2016-bids/

Lets pretend the two brothers are committed Christians. I can write the brutal media narrative for you:

“Wealthy brothers drive the Cruz campaign into Bible Belt territory”

“Billionaire Christians give millions to keep Cruz on the fundamentalist track”

You can make up many more yourself.

It will be totally unfair and brutally effective.

George Washington and Abe Lincoln weren't great presidents.

The number one qualification for president is of course where a candidate stands on the issues.

This must-have-been-an-executive low-info meme is for people who can't figure out the complicated issues and where the candidates stand on them.

Ted Cruz, as Solicitor General of Texas, led the office of 4,000 employees, including 700 lawyers.

During private practice at Morgan Lewis, Ted Cruz built their appellate practice to be one of the top 20 law firms on National Law Journal's "Appellate Hot List" in 2010.

To be fair, I think she would quit if she became First Lady. It is a situation that needs careful handling. Why should she quit just for the sake of a candidacy that might or might not pan out?
