Wealthy Cruz Donor Pours Millions Into Clinton Campaign
Observer ^ | 5-9-16 | Michael Sainato

enaissance Technologies, a hedge fund founded by billionaire James Simons, donated over $13 million to Sen. Ted Cruz’s failed presidential campaign. For a guy who’s supposed to be pretty smart with his money, the ROI on that one has got to sting. Nevertheless, now that Mr. Cruz is out of the race, Mr. Simons has begun pouring millions of dollars into Hillary Clinton‘s campaign, with Renaissance Technologies donating over $2 million to Ms. Clinton so far this election cycle. Euclidean Capital—also owned by Mr. Simons—has given the Clinton campaign over $7 million in contributions, and such figures are likely to increase as Ms. Clinton slowly transitions her attention from Democratic Primary opponent Bernie Sanders to the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump.

Ted did say he would not use Mr. Bill as an issue, and he rarely attacked Mrs. Bill in the primary.

And He has been doing it, for all who have eyes to see and ears to hear.

The problem is that MOST do not have eyes to see and ears to hear.

Yes, but we should remember that nothing happens that God does not allow, according to His Will. He’s driving the bus, we’re just along for the ride : )

Robert Mercer supported Cruz. Now Mercer supports Hillary through Renaissance Technologies, correct? What is not to get about this?

Mercer doesn't support Hillary.

>> a hedge fund founded by billionaire James Simons

If not Cruz, then Hillary...

Go figure. Looking to protect his hedge-fund ars from Trump?

What say you, “principled” Cruz supporters?

Hmmm.

It will probably take you putting up a thread to straighten out the implications here, made in this Observer article.

Thanks.

Trump wants to tax hedge funds on a per transaction basis, I seem to recall.

Such donors are principled thieves that use America for their own enrichment and as a lap dog for what they want as tax and foreign policy. Their ideology is about getting richer. They play most conservatives as a corporatist violin.

I agree that Cruz was intended to sabotage Trump on the nomination and then pave the way for lyin Hillary the friend of the Wall St casino crowd. Cruz was a deflector FTBO the DC uniparty establishment only.

NOthing to see here, he figured the easiest candidate for her to beat was Cruz. She was for Clinton from the get go.

OOps...Wrong hedge fund Cruz supporter...Paul singer has a gay son and supports gay rights...

Not sure why this guy was supporting Cruz and would then turn to Hillz except he must like the status quo.
