Wealthy Cruz and Bush Donors Dump Millions Into Hillary Clinton’s Campaign

Renaissance 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.

I didn’t say anything about Cruz, did I?

You do not have to with some of these clowns, they will attack you regardless.

[Parley Baer]

That is called “protection” money. Might be a hard concept for you to understand.

Hedge Funds now make trial lawyers look like pikers

It doesn't mean anything. They can blow their money and snicker to themselves that they're influencing the course of the election/history. But the reality is that many BILLIONAIRES have done that for many years. Look at Bloomberg and his gun control obsession and it's been a big fat ZERO. That will be the case here.

Bless your heart.

DoughtyOne :" We’ve been explaining that to anyone with an IQ over 50 for the last ten months.
Sorry you didn’t reside in that group."

I am so pleased to see that the 'ad hominum' attacks have stopped ,
and that we have returned to intellectual discussion that FreeRepublic has been known for , in the past .

[DoughtyOne]

It is not the same thing.

Trump didn’t pull his money from supporting Republicans to support Democrats because a certain candidate lost.

Lie, lie, lie, lie..., that’s all you folks can do.

I mentioned how little you show up here, because you miss a wealthy of information and logic trails.

Then you jump in thinking you’re up to speed, when you aren’t.

You haven’t been paying attention, so you jump in, spout off, and get called on it. And when you display illiteracy on subjects, you blame the folks who have had to address the same inanities for the last ten months.

Some of us are damned tired of the folks who don’t know their -— from a hole in the ground.

[Right-wing Librarian]

Donors are going to donate.

For me, the problem isn’t the giving, it’s the receiving.

When the pols receive, they are bought.

Also, I’d like to believe (although it may not be true) that years ago, there was a far stronger sense of patriotism that was instilled in our young citizens, and that said patriotism would result in an American First ideology.

Somewhere along the line, these pols became so brazenly globalist, it boggles the mind and disheartens the spirit.

Nevertheless, all American’s patriots each need to be doing the max, to instill into their children and grandchildren, as much love of country as possible, while we can.

That’s because there is not a dimes worth of difference between the 3 of them.

And now we see what they all are.

[Steamburg]

The price of politicians who are for sale!

[mkjessup]

Yeah, whatever.

[chris37]

Yes, it’s different, but your post indicates that you aren’t capable of understanding.

[jch10]

There is a big difference in $50,000 and 13 million.

[DoughtyOne]

Actually, pointing out someone’s lack of being up to speed on the issues, is an intellectual truth.

I’m sorry you can’t grasp that.

[Aria]

Trump wasn’t selling his votes in public office. That is different.

[Roos_Girl]

Oh get over yourself. Because I don’t comment means I don’t read? Just wow. Good evening.

[jwalsh07]

So McAuliffe and Harry Reid were Senators in New York?

[DoughtyOne]

You poor thing.

You’re lost in space.
