The campaigning for president this year has been spirited and contentious, but that is not unusual. What is unusual is that political “outsiders” Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have been so successful in their efforts.
But what does outsider mean? Yes, it suggests that the American public is tired of the lifetime bureaucrats who have been feeding at the public trough for decades, though this certainly would also apply to Bernie in one fashion or another. It suggests we have become suspicious of political insider dealing that short-changes and damages average citizens while rewarding big business and other power players.
That is especially true with supporters of Donald Trump, who see him as someone who is willing to go against the political tide, as demonstrated in his declarations that he will stop all illegal and much legal immigration, and send the immigrants back to their home countries.
Trump has strong support from many blue collar workers who have seen trade deals cut by politicians that seemed to strip away their jobs and move them overseas, all in an effort to keep big business happy. Now Trump is going after Ted Cruz, accusing him of supporting legislation that would continue that giveaway to “big business,” and Cruz is having to back track on his position for certain trade proposals, collectively known as Obamatrade.

Heidi worked foreign affairs for 5yrs up till Cruz ran for President in the United nations office !!
A lot of Republican voters are covering for Cruz just like a lot of Democrat voters are covering for Hillary. Both are guilty.
What is happening in America? Why don’t they just bring back Al Capone and let him run? They would vote for him too Huh? OY
Cruz will continue Obammo schemes
The government will never change if we keep just swapping offices among the same politicians. They are the ones that has gotten the country in the condition it is. It is high time we elect people who have a record of success in business and getting things done, not just talking for a living. Most politicians are lawyers, wordsmiths, confidence men who have studied how to convince others to sees things their way. Regardless of the truth of the matter. Someone who has fresh ideas not constrained with the pressure of political obligations taken on to get this far in government. It just happens. Someone that will make decisions for the good of the country. Not of the party.
Cruz is a lawyer who has spent most of his life in politics. He has held offices in a number of positions on his way up. Corruption is contagious. You have to know that he had help along the way that will influence his decisions when in office. He is owned by Goldman Sachs. His wife is a director there. They also back Hillary. Elect him nothing will change.
Trump does not have this baggage. He speaks what he thinks not the carefully calculated, politically correct speech of the party line. He owes no one for favors done and that terrifies the GOP. He is not under their control. That is why I like him..
Goldman Sachs owns TED. He will do nothing to the FED, Goldman Sachs cannot exist without it, nor, will the IRS, the enforcement arm of the FED be diminished.
Entities as Goldman Sachs, WANT the TPP, as it only enhances the power of the Central Bank Cartel, their Conglomerates and Corporations.
TED lied, his acceptance speech was, “Cheap Talk”.
