Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz said Friday he wouldn't break up Goldman Sachs amid questions about his wife's involvement in the giant Wall Street financial firm.

"I don't believe the government should be targeting anybody," Cruz said in an hour-long appearance on CNBC's "Squawk Box." "But I'll tell you, if you're looking at who Goldman is supporting, it ain't me."

Cruz's wife, Heidi, has run Goldman Sachs' private wealth business in the Southwest, although she's on a leave of absence during the campaign. Cruz has taken heat for failing to disclose a loan from the company during his Senate run in 2012.

"Goldman is supporting Hillary Clinton big time and in the Republican field, they've been supporting just about everyone else but me," Cruz said Friday.

Ted's wife is a Goldman Sachs executive and his political career was kickstarted with a million dollar loan from Goldman Sachs, yet he claims that Goldman Sachs is supporting everyone else but him?

1. Goldman is trying to buy others, they own Cruz

You don't have to buy what you already own.

2. Hillary keeps some sleazy company--human filth, as a matter of fact.

They all deserve one another.

3. so the undisclosed $500,000 loan is what?

Cruz has some nerve making that assertion given the vital role Goldman funding played in making him a Senator.

4. Cruz only has 3 years left, then he will never be elected to public office again.

As luck would have it, he will now collect government benefits for life (presuming he gets his time in).

Funny thing about Mr. Haney, though...he did teach me one thing: If I ever want to become a Senator, just run in an odd election in Texas in the middle of the summer.

5. "Everyone else got money. I got Heidi."

WTF, Ted?

If the company your SPOUSE works for hates you, maybe that's a clue of sorts?
