Discussion: Cruz Says Failure To Disclose 2012 Goldman Sachs Loan Was 'Filing Error'

Yeah, just a filing error, you know, like getting caught filing the bars on your jail cell.

Or as Cruz would say: ā€œIt was a bad call Ripley, a bad callā€¦ā€

What was he saying about T-Rumpā€™s New York values?

This wonā€™t change a thing. For Cruz supporters, this episode simply confirms what their anointed one has been telling them all along: Heā€™s NOT a wealthy, well-connected, sneeringly superior and deeply hypocritical Ivy-leaguer; heā€™s just a humble, modest good ole boy whose very virtue has made him the victim of a massive smear campaign. A vengeful and ruthless Establishment ā„¢ will stop at nothing to destroy his crusade to restore America. Poor Ted! This is just more proof that powerful Elites ā„¢ hate him for his humility, his Christianity, his reverence for the Constitution, his willingness to serve as a martyr for Freedom and his unswerving commitment to upholding our god-given right to fry bacon using semiautomatic weapons.
Any attempt to reveal the depths of his hypocrisy or expose his false populism will only drive the angry white base to love him all the more. Heā€™s already set up the perfect McCarthyite defense: ā€œAny attack against me is proof of the very conspiracy Iā€™m here to expose and destroy.ā€ (Legal Disclaimers: ā€œEstablishmentā€ and ā€œElitesā€ are trademarks of Ted Cruz LLC and do not include: Goldman Sachs; other Wall Street-based job creators; or billionaires who donate to the Committee to Elect Ted Cruz.

ā€œHeidi and I when we ran for Senate, we made decision to put our liquid net worth into the campaign. And so we did so through a combination of savings ā€” liquidating our savings accounts ā€” through a combination of selling assets,ā€

No Ted. You LIED and tried to deceive and you have been caught red handed.

So I guess this would be a component of ā€œNew York valuesā€. Trump is gonna have a field day with this one.

Hilarious and a good one.

A steelhead trout would whip Cruz in a fair fight of course Cruz would just block itā€™s path upstream and down.

It was not improper for Cruz to accept a bank loan to help fund his Senate campaign,

Thank god our constitution limits the restraints on financing political campaigns. If Goldman Sachs and Citibank think the odds are good enough their boy will get in office, then thatā€™s good enough for my vote!

So tell me, do the Too-Big-To-Fail banks have special loans just for politicians? Their PACs canā€™t coordinate with the campaigns, so thatā€™s too risky. They canā€™t just give that much money to the candidate, because that doesnā€™t set the hook for when theyā€™re in office. As long as they have a special term, interest rate, and it smells of a ā€˜standardā€™ whatever then the FEC couldnā€™t complain.

The side eye for the camera is priceless.

Yes, it was an error, an error that comes with huge penalties and interest. One thing that Raphael Jr is good at, is costing himself and all Americans huge penalties.
I forgot and I donā€™t remember and it wasnā€™t me arenā€™t exactly inspiring phrases from a POTUS candidate.

Cruz is a birther until he isnā€™t, is conservative until heā€™s not and is a government hating conspiracy nut that wants to be the #1 man in government.
If mixed messages are your thing, or confusing aholes that lie incessantly, then Pinocchio nosed Cruz is your man.

Cruz is just another sleazy GOP politician who wants to convince the Tea Party masses heā€™s one of them. Just a good ole Joseph McCarthy boy.

This man is so rotten, he revises my opinion of Caligula.

I now believe that he would have been more qualified, emotionally, for the Presidency than Cruz

I got a loan like that down the credit union to buy me a new Rambler back in '65. What? Oh, I thought you said, ā€œMarlin.ā€
