Not quite what I am saying. A candidate looking for broad funding from citizenry is meaningful and over the last several election cycles we have seen several people pursue this route successfully. What we see in this election cycle is Cruz and others rushing to several donors, pandering to them, to get their money. They become owned by those few people and their special interests rather than being broadly funded.

It is a foot path. I am guessing this is part of the get out the 4-5 million who sat home in 2012. A huge swath from all over with possible sway on their congregations and cohorts. Will make excellent get out the vote possible I am guessing.
But don’t underestimate Teddie. This is only part of his plan and it seems to be progressing very nicely.

When Cruz started out, he did so early and as an outsider, asking for small donations. He was going to run a campaign outside of the norm, open and about how he'd get the gov in line.

He now owes favors to groups that aren't focused on our priorities. I'm sure Cruz will be explaining his brilliant strategy to us soon, again.

Cruz needs four more years, if at all. Let's see him coalesce with other decent folks in the US Senate and stop the destruction the US Senate is wreaking on the US.

“They become owned by those few people ...”

You’re a cynical ass.
