Ted Cruz doesn't care where the money comes from.
Even as his campaign has pushed a populist message and he has railed against Wall Street "crony capitalism" repeatedly, the Texas senator indicated Friday that he is not beneath accepting donations from anyone, including from members of the financial industry, which has already contributed $12 million to his campaign.
Appearing on CNBC's "Squawk Box" Friday, Cruz again referred to the Dodd-Frank Act as benefiting large banks at the expense of the "little guy," or smaller community banks. Co-anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin then pressed the candidate about his "rivals" criticizing him for soliciting donations from the same people whose industry has spoken out on the campaign trail. “Look, we’ll take money from anyone. In fact, Andrew, I would love a check right now. It’s $2,700, or you could go to TedCruz.org," Cruz said.
As POLITICO reported Wednesday, Cruz is expected to host an array of bankers, traders and Wall Street lawyers at a Monday fundraising event at the Harvard Club in midtown Manhattan.
Cruz's wife, Heidi, took an unpaid leave of absence from her executive position at Goldman Sachs last year when her husband announced his candidacy.
He does his part to breathe life into the pop culture depiction of white conservative Republicans as smirking asshats.
He does more than his part, in fact.
Ya knew it was over when the D.C. deviates lit up the White House like some Hollywood bathhouse dive.
One thing I’ve been noticing, Trump is still pounding away on building a wall, securing the boarder and fixing illegal immigration. Cruz on the other hand, has stopped speaking of the subject.
Just my opinion, but it would seem Cruz is abandoning the issue, and this remains a huge issue to me.
Lol, that picture with the headline you used is hilarious.
According to Reince - he is getting money from Muslim countries. And, these dingbat Cruzbots think he is a “true conservative” outsider. I have to shake my head at their stupidity. They are so foolish, so very, very foolish and naive.
Of course, it's all innuendo.
Not that politicians and whores haven't been a classic combo in the past........
Yes, and I had people doubting when I said they pre-tested the lights. They knew how the SC was going to go. They were all ready when the “decision” came out.
But they still maintain the illusion that there’s no collusion.
Well Slick Teddie has taken anti-illegal alien money and Cheap labor Express money. He has taken anti-gay “marriage” money and New York values homosexual pro gay “marriage” money so it appears he will take money from anybody even oposing sides and decide who to lie to later. His honesty is refreshing.
You Cruzbots need to dig deep and often and donate to Cruz.
maybe the only they’re expecting is keeping that lunatic liberal Trump away from the Presidency?
I think even they have limits.
He should ask Obama how to tap into all that money that came in to the Obama campaign out of muslim countries from people with untraceable names.
link to his lunacy please. He has more people convinced of his viability than your a$$twat! What is the honest delegate count?
I’m still getting Rubio and Kasich emails from their PAC’s saying their holding out for the RNC in Cleveland and they’re asking for donations.
Cruz is taking checks from Planned Parenthood I guess right?
You cannot be that naive. You think for a million dollars there will be no payback? Why would banks or others lay out that kind of cash unless they're assured it's an investment?
I keep getting emails wanting money from all kinds of GOP groups, including Reese’s cup.
