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.

Trump did own 8,400 shares of evil, evil Goldman Sachs stock.

He purchased it for 980K and he sold it for 1.4 million.

And he was required to report it. You hypocrites would be beside yourselves if Trump did something like that.

See if you can follow this:

It is a requirement of the FEC that all campaign monies be accounted for.

Therefore, when one borrows money as a personal loan and then lends it to his campaign, he MUST file that with the FEC.

The reason being that a candidate, hypothetically speaking, could borrow money, lend it to his campaign, and then someone else could pay it back or the bank could forgive it in return for political favors.

I am not saying Cruz is guilty of this but his excuse for not filing is questionable due to the fact that he is a lawyer and he signed the document.
