So? The big guys always support both sides in a campaign. Has nothing to do with who they are.

as to the policies that would affect the Billionaire Class. I wonder why?

Until candidates are no longer controlled by corporations and special interests.
I say no to Cruz. And no to Mrs. Clinton. I think this country can, and should, do better.

(3,343 posts)5. The difference
Cruzs campaign chairman is ex-CIA and ex-head of Homeland Security. So upper echelon of the military industrial complex.
Hillary's is the owner of one of the biggest lobbying firms in DC. They represent big banks, weapons manufacturers, pharma and Saudi Arabia.
So upper eschelon Wall St and corporate bullshit and big oil.
So..
Great options.
