Cruz: 'We'll take money from anyone'

Cruz: 'We'll take money from anyone'

http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-gop-primary-live-updates-and-results/2016/04/ted-cruz-campaign-contributions-222008

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.

Big names back Trump tower
Soros, Deutsche Bank said to be in on 90-story building

Donald Trump has lined up three New York hedge funds, including money from billionaire George Soros, to invest $160 million in his Chicago skyscraper, a key piece in perhaps the largest construction financing in the city's history, according to real estate sources and public documents.

That is an indictment of some kind?

many Chicago real estate developers and lenders have expressed doubts about whether the 90-story tower would ever be built.

And was it built?

Its OK because it is Trump.  Not good for anyone else.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Do you naively believe Trump is the only builder of luxury hotels and condos in the US?

About as naively as you are that Trump has been busy building his political ties for years.  He knows where the money comes from.

Unprepared?  He's the biggest politician there is.  He's just another insider that knows how to play the political game.

They (we) are trying to derail his campaign because he is a complete narcissistic jackass and all around creepazoid, not because he is an outsider.

Well, we have, until now, at least avoided nominating a narcissistic jackass and all around creepazoid.

Welcome to the board, Jackson!
