His vote wouldn't have mattered and it was a non-cloture vote which leaves it open for further debate.
Ted Cruz's primary runoff against Dewhurst was July 31, 2012. He publicly disclosed the margin loan July 9, 2012. It isn't a big deal at all that the loan was not carried forward on his general election documentation. The loan wasn't hidden. It just means that Ted won't be getting reimbursed for it.
How does this work? His wife and he borrow a million dollars between them to run for the senate. They have paid it off long ago. The senate job must pay well. I try and borrow on a used car and they want a lien on my house. He borrows a million and there is no special consideration for him, when his wife works for Goldman. I wonder who it was who examined this case, maybe his brother-in-law. Don't forget he is an outsider.
Looks like Cruz is owned by Wall Street and Canada. LOL
This is not what I would expect from a Canadian, much less from someone running to be president of the US. I would hate to think that this erstwhile blivit is nothing but the typical hypocritical politician who would do anything or say anything to further is own ambitious but clearly insane willingness to kiss the butts of his brain dead supporters.
In 1997, Michael Wayne Haley was arrested after stealing a calculator from Walmart. This was a crime that merited a maximum two-year prison term. But prosecutors incorrectly applied a habitual offender law. Neither the judge nor the defense lawyer caught the error and Haley was sentenced to 16 years.
Eventually, the mistake came to light and Haley tried to fix it. Ted Cruz was solicitor general of Texas at the time. Instead of just letting Haley go for time served, Cruz took the case to the Supreme Court to keep Haley in prison for the full 16 years.
Seems to me he deserves nothing less than a strict adherence to the letter of the law.
Ahh, an op-ed by David Brooks, the man who was "really impressed with the crease in Obama's pants" and just recently stated that Cruz offers "Dark and Satanic" tones during an interview on PBS last Friday.
David Brooks, a columnist for the NYT. David Brooks, no law degree or legal background.
David Brooks, born in Toronto, Ontario - his father was an American citizen living in CA at the time...

Sour grapes much? The facts in your story say a lot more about you than they do about Ted and Heidi Cruz.

This will will hurt him in the polls, costing him millions of wasted campaign contributions. The fine is the least of it because his puppet masters Goldman and Citi will pay for it. Your candidate is going down the tubes and I love it.

If he had wanted to hide the loan, he wouldn't have disclosed it at all. It was a collateralized loan against assets he held, which is very routine, in the same manner as borrowing against your IRA.
Secondly, being the loans were against his personal assets, what does that tell me? He was out financed 25-1. It tells me that he was so committed to his cause he was willing to risk nearly his entire net worth to win his Senate seat.

He borrowed against his investments. Whatever the sum, the interview indicated he had to put up twice as much as he wanted to borrow.
My question concerns his senate race. iF my DH had ambitions and put up everything we owned to run for a political seat, he'd be on the couch or in intensive care. ;-0
They must have a ton of money to risk it that way. Or a lot of ambition. I'm sure she could have made it back. They are young enough.

The guy is so smart yet he did not have anyone go over his finances or the required filing's.
Very bad manager. Explains the "Green eggs and Ham" reading in the Senate, 1st. grade reading comprehension.

No special loans were granted, so we can plainly see he wasn't given special concessions because of Heidi's job.
