Ted Cruz was a frugal spender when he ran for president earlier this year. Four super PACs supporting the Republican senator from Texas raised $45 million. But after Cruz dropped out of the race in May, some of those donors got a lot of their money back. Energy investor Toby Neugebauer donated $10 million to one super PAC, and got a $9 million refund. Members of the Wilks family, who are Texas fracking billionaires, donated $15 million to a different Cruz super PAC and got $8.2 million back.

Might as well collected all the money in a big pile and torched it on live TV, a la, Joker from "Dark Knight". The Limousine Liberals can blow all the cash they want. I wish the right of center would take the money and endow conservative cultural institutions, for example, colleges and universities.

You can bet Hillary isn’t giving back a dime from her campaign.

Didn’t their rape of the children at the Clinton
Podesta Satanic suppers count?

How about the uranium? and the weapons?
Did they not count, either?

I was about to click on the link until I saw it was Yahoo news. This is a worthless site for real information. It is about as credible as CNN or MSNBC.

You can say that again. Yahoo news is the worst. Never has anything positive about Trump.

The Saudi’s lost the most.

It’s been reported that Clinton got at least $200 million illegal dollars from the Saudi sheiks alone. She got many more illegal millions from other Arab states.

Trump is going to have to do something about all the foreign donations used to influence our elections. It really is criminal.

The donors who gave millions got most of their money back? I gave $25 before Cruz lost my support, back when he promised a grassroots campaign financed by small-amount donors. I want my money back, too!

Well.... 112 million?

That ain’t hay.

These idiots are no doubt licking their wounds and speculating on what worthwhile items they might have purchased.
