So in your world only near billionaires are qualified to run for office.

Are you saying only people owned by Goldman Sachs or CGF are qualified to run for office? Cruz could have refused the money from Goldman Sachs and CFG and still have ten time more then what Trump has spent.

Trump could have refused George Soros money in Chicago for his tower, but he didn't.

160 million it was.

I know this is difficult for you but try to follow along.

Cruz borrowed money against his stock holding from Goldman Sachs with the same terms any other person would be given that holds stock there. Nothing immoral or improper.

If your standard is borrowing or “getting money” from Goldman Sachs as being tainted then there’s a very high probability Trump has vast holding in Goldman Sach’s. He’s “getting money” from them as well. In addition Trump likely has borrowed vast sums through his Goldman Sachs accounts. You say that’s due to his business well it is his business that is funding his run for President.

So if your going to go down that road honestly, Goldman Sachs has provided far more money to Trump than Cruz by vast amounts.

But then again, I’m not the one complaining about Goldman Sachs providing services to the candidates. The same services they do thousands of others.

Dave Brat ran and won on a shoestring budget when he beat Cantor.
