Wealthy Cruz Donor Pours Millions into Hillary Clinton Campaign

[LongTomH]

The UK Observer has this to say: Wealthy Cruz Donor Pours Millions Into Hillary Clinton Campaign:

Renaissance Technologies, a hedge fund founded by billionaire James Simons, donated over $13 million to Sen. Ted Cruz’s failed presidential campaign. For a guy who’s supposed to be pretty smart with his money, the ROI on that one has got to sting. Nevertheless, now that Mr. Cruz is out of the race, Mr. Simons has begun pouring millions of dollars into Hillary Clinton‘s campaign, with Renaissance Technologies donating over $2 million to Ms. Clinton so far this election cycle. Euclidean Capital—also owned by Mr. Simons—has given the Clinton campaign over $7 million in contributions, and such figures are likely to increase as Ms. Clinton slowly transitions her attention from Democratic Primary opponent Bernie Sanders to the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump.

Mr. Simons isn’t the only wealthy donor making the move. A number of deep-pocketed elite have given up trying to buy off Republican politicians in order to support Ms. Clinton—the only establishment-friendly candidate of either party remaining in the race. In response, the Clinton campaign has assembled a group dubbed “Republicans for Hillary” to reach wealthy GOP donors. Ms Clinton not only shares over 60 of the same donors with the former Republican candidate Jeb Bush but is also making new efforts to court additional Bush family donors, according to a recent Politico report.

Now remind me, how many Republican donors have gone over to Clinton in recent days?

4. In a government Of/by/for the highest bidder...

....the citizenry operating under the illusion of democracy are asked to prove that those highest bid-ees are acting in the highest bidders interests moreso than that of the citizenry.

7. Just because all these wealthy Republicans are donating to Hill does not mean

that she is agreeing with any of their ideas.

[LiberalArkie]

11. Should I say that they are donating because they do not disagree on very much?
