Super PACs backing Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz have raised more than double the PAC backing presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
Priorities USA Action has managed to secure just $5 million in “hard commitments,” and expects to raise just $15 million through the end of June, reported The Wall Street Journal. The PAC is led by prominent Democrats including President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign manager, Jim Messina.
Super PACs backing Cruz raised more than twice that in a week. A Cruz associate told Bloomberg the group of PACs, formed in April, raised $31 million in their first week.
“Cruz’s haul is eye-popping, one that instantly raises the stakes in the Republican fundraising contest,” Bloomberg’s Mark Halperin wrote....

Heck the Witch of the Hill has all that money in her family fund to pull from!
Sounds good, but I didn’t see much specific info in that article.
It would be funny if Cruz hit Hillary!’s original multi-billion target and she didn’t.
I don’t hear Team Satan talking about that much anymore. I wonder why.
We already know Cruz’ CPAC raised $31 million in the first week. I’m just curious how much it’s raised since then.
At least another $60 million since then according to what I’m seeing. To give you an indication of how it’s going on the regular campaign side ... I’m a bundler in Texas, so I get to see the lederboard. The top figure, right now (just in this state) $539,536.04, followed by $444,800.00.
Awesome. Thanks
We are just having another fund raiser for our destruction.
The Punch and Judy puppet show continues.
How do you propose that Ted Cruz or any other Republican buy commercials on television, radio or newspapers without paying for them?
I still don’t get why the “right wing” media doesn’t take him seriously as a candidate? He’s crushing it in fundraising and dismantling journalists and liberals left and right. But the only candidates they talk about are Walker, Bush and Rubio.
We could all throw in and hijack the network signal. Kind of like in “Hackers”
Do you really think the first real conservative is going to funnel money to the DNC?
I don't. I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is.
And mainly, I'm not interested in the childish BS of dissing everything seen on FR, even if it is popular with a certain 'stuck on sarcasm' group.

I cannot find any “Keep The Promise” PAC web site...anyone here know how to find it, or if it exists?
LOL, yeah, let's fight back by not advertising, that'll show them.
Go back to DU and get better memes to plant, Tool.
Oh, they take him VERY seriously, because they see the internal polls and messages that most of us peons don’t even know exist, much less get to read.
Just out of curiosity have you seen any of these polls? Does it look good for Cruz?
Let him fly under the radar. Most people at Slate and DU think he’s an idiotic whacko who is dumb as a box of rocks.
The rude awakening they get when it’s too late is something Cruz will definitely need with the media hit-piece squad.
I liked that movie so much, I bought the laser disc version when it came on sale at my video store.
Hackers had a young Angelina Jolie before she shaved down her nose and Johnny Lee Miller as the young genius-—he was very natural and appealing.
My thoughts as well. If his polling numbers don't improve real soon, he won't even qualify to be on the stage in the upcoming debate.
I have been a total cheerleader for Cruz all along but I tell you I am not getting over his vote to invoke cloture on the trade bill today. Why would he do it? It does not make sense. I am very troubled by that vote. I hope somebody makes him explain it in great detail.
