Wonder what favors Peter Thiel expects in return?.
Among others:-)
4/15 The dinner and “fireside chat†for about a dozen people with Mr. Cruz and his wife, Heidi, was at the Central Park South penthouse of Mati Weiderpass and Ian Reisner, longtime business partners who were once a couple and who have been pioneers in the gay hospitality industry.
Ewww.
Thiel is a very smart guy. He appears to be rich and successful enough that he doesn’t need favors. He calls himself a “conservative libertarian” and has contributed to a lot of Republicans. Unlike other Silicon Valley billionaires, who appear to be mostly atheists, Thiel says that he is Christian. Maybe he admires Cruz as a fellow smart guy with legal training and conservative views. Thiel was interviewed for clerkships by two Supreme Court justices, but unlike Cruz, he was not accepted.

Cruz is pretty well-known on his views on gay marriage. State’s rights. I don’t know - but I imagine pot as well. I’m guessing the big thing for this guy is paypal and the internet. Recall there was/is the push to get stuff on the internet taxed, and the gov’t wants to take over more of the internet. I imagine Cruz (and this Thiel guy) is against that.
