Senator Ted Cruz won a hard-fought partial victory in Texas during last night’s Super Tuesday primary battle. It was the culmination of months of time and money spent meant to culminate in a clear post-Super Tuesday lead in the race to the GOP nomination this summer. The southern states were to be Cruz’s ticket to the White House.
For Cruz, that ticket never arrived. The Texas senator remains well behind Donald Trump in the delegate count, and now rumors are swirling of a campaign that has spent almost as much money as did the already-departed Jeb Bush fiasco, with little more to show for it – and that money is said to now be running out.
The numbers are staggering.
Over $100 million raised, much of it from Big Oil, and law firms, and much of that now spent trying to secure a better than 50% victory in Texas that would have garnered the candidate all of his home state’s 155 delegates, Instead, Cruz will have earned less than 44% support among Texas voters, a number well below historical averages for home state Texas candidates.
....
Ted Cruz gambled almost everything on a decisive Super Tuesday victory. That victory instead went to Donald Trump. Now word is spreading that Cruz’s former willing donors are pulling back from the campaign. Cruz still has considerable cash on hand, as does the Super PAC promoting him, (both raised significant amounts last month primarily after Cruz’s Iowa Caucus win) but far less cash than before yesterday’s primary battle and likely not enough cash to survive yet another month or more as projections have fewer and fewer donations coming in, unless the senator is somehow able to pull off one or two big upsets come March 15th in either Florida or Ohio.

Ted, go ask goofy Romney for some dollars.
They are pulling back why?
Cruz needs to jump on Trump’s train and ride it to a Cabinet position.
Time to send him some more money then, don’t you think?

It’s a whisper.... of complete bulls##t. Many more donors are coming to Cruz... including the Kochs (there’s a whisper for you).
dc whispers— IS HILLARY CLINTON. Get it?

But tell us again how he’s an “outsider”. :/

Oh boy, here we go.... my inbox are going to be filled with desperation emails from Heidi begging for money!
Perhaps their friends at Goldman Sachs can front them another “loan”....
Cruz is willing to run to the GOP-e just to keep his failing campaign afloat. And to think I used to support him as late as February.
That explains Ted’s 40 email requests for funds and the ten I got in the mail.
This guy had tens of millions of dollars just last week!! What happened? Does this dope just piss it away??
Cruz spent over $6 MILLION just in advertising in the Super Tuesday states, including a bundle in TX. Trump spent barely over $1 MILLION in advertising. Cruz also spent huge money in South Carolina, and had hundreds of paid staff, while Trump had only 5 paid staff members in SC.
BIG OIL!!!!! AHA! What a scoundrel Cruz must be! How dare he accept money from people who heat our homes and fuel our vehicles?
Cruz must believe in freedom and capitalism, among other quaint ideas. He must be crushed.
With Big Oil on your side, it’s not hard to take a principled stand against ethanol.
Romney would give it to him... in exchange for Ted publicly urging his supporters in Florida to vote for Rubio.
When people give you something, they almost always expect something in return.
