When is anyone going to remember that, "oh yeah, Ted Cruz's wife WORKS for Goldman-Sachs?!" He even got his health insurance from them until recently, when he started buying it from Obama.

Yup this is what disqualified Cruz as far as I'm concerned. Goldman Sachs is who butters his bread. He'd be beholden to them and that is the exact opposite of what we need right now. I don't get why this isn't brought up more.

Right, and Trump is a shareholder in Goldman Sachs. But, I guess that is okay, just like Trump shipping jobs to China, Mexico, and Bangladesh, along with hiring visa holders over Americans and using illegals to build his buildings (as later as July 2015 in DC), is just fine. The "he's a businessman so he has a right to do whatever he complains about others doing" excuse.

The only dog flee-free is Sanders. All other major candidates can pretend by not scratching, but they all have flees.

Saying that, if you are all upset about corporations donating large money, denounce Citizens United and get a Constitutional Amendment passed banning the practice. If you favored C.U., you are part of the problem.

You realize that is Trump giving HIS money to THEM and the exact opposite of the others right? When you are a shareholder that means that you have SPENT YOUR money to buy shares of THEIR stock.

See how it is very different from them giving you money?

Honestly if you are supporting ANY dog with fleas you are the problem. This information is widely available.

If people had more integrity and didn't constantly vote for one side of the same coin based on what others are doing or weird unmeasurable qualities like "electability" we could get back on track to having accurate representation for the American people.

Before the start of this election I told myself I WOULD NOT vote for anybody that is backed by Goldman Sachs. Right now that leaves me with Bernie Sanders or Jill Stein.

Yes, but that's only one of the big banks. Hillary still has received more from the big banks, and Wall St. than any other candidate.

Hillary is the clear choice of the big banks, and Wall St. That alone is more than enough reason not to vote for her.

I'm surprised it's only $99,000 so I know it's not accurate. Nice try though.

Right, it is indeed different. It's important that they make oodles of money to give to you in order line your own pockets. Your motives are stronger.
