Ted Cruz doesn't care how dirty his money is
Red State Watcher ^ | 4/15/2016

Posted on 04/15/2016 6:41:29 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Ted Cruz told a CNBC reporter that he doesn't care where his campaign money comes from.

politico.com reports: 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.

I think Cruz would not do the bidding of contributors. I fear Trump could be a Bloomberg. A leftist control freak running as a Republican. I would vote Trump against any of the democratic socialists, but I prefer Cruz.

The US Mint uses good paper. It’s easy to wash.

Are you really this naive to think that Cruz wouldn’t do the bidding of his contributors? What planet do you come from. This is all DC is - donors controlling the candidates. Wow, you are truly politically naive. SMH

Nor does he care what kind of arcane dirty trick rules are used or how many people are denied the opportunity for their voices to be heard, as long as the delegates are his. Hypocrite “Outsider” Lyin’ Ted is fine with insider politics as long as the ends justify the means, and his career is the “end”.

Let’s face it. A choir boy is not going to get elected president.

As long as Trump or Cruz do a fraction of what they promise it will be transformational.

Keep that mewling freak Kasich out of the picture whatever it takes.

“Ted Cruz told a CNBC reporter that he doesn’t care where his campaign money comes from. “

So much for fine conservative moral values...

I don’t care who gives money to Cruz because it won’t affect how he votes. If he wanted to be an establishment guy he’s doing a damn poor job of it.

On the other hand, I do care who Donald “I probably identify more as Democrat” Trump gives money to because it reveals how he thinks the government should be run.

I have not seen it in his career so far. I could be wrong. But someone who stood up against ethanol subsidies in Iowa ahead of the primaries and still won is someone I think will stand up for what is right. Trump has supported late term abortion and donated to so many Democrats that I think he is just a personal power player. His power comes at the expense of mine.

By the time this is over, U.S. elections will be the brunt of Nigerian standup comics.

And yet Donald Trump has no problem doing business with Democrats and mobsters. That’s the New Yawk Way...

Note: One Republican presidential candidate donated money to Hillary Clinton and it wasn’t Ted Cruz.

Hippocrites.

“Democrats and mobsters. That’s the New Yawk Way”

Yes it is ... you can’t buy a cubic foot of concrete in NYC without them. It is the way it is in NY as well as many other northern cities. MY hometown of Boston was the same way. You could not rent a roll-off dumpster without giving money to the mob. They owned the trash companies, the transfer stations and the landfills.

It’s easy to mock Trump for these two issues, but my guess is you wouldn’t last a year in his business in NYC, before you’d be begging them to take your money.

And didn’t TRump give Cruz money?
