A super PAC initially linked to Ted Cruz transformed itself Wednesday into a new big-money group backing Donald Trump, the latest twist in the confusing orbit of pro-Trump super PACs.
The new group, Make America Number I, was until Wednesday known as Keep the Promise I, a group funded almost entirely by $13.5 million from Republican megadonor Robert Mercer. The super PAC will now focus primarily on advertising opposing HIllary Clinton as opposed to supporting Trump, according to spokeswoman Kristina Hernandez, a decision made to give Trump-skeptical donors more comfort in contributing.
Make America Number I is at least the fifth pro-Trump super PAC jockeying to support the Republican nominee. The group will be run by David Bossie, the president of Citizens United and a longtime player in conservative money circles, Hernandez said, giving the organization some credibility as it competes with other groups for checks....

Slow and steady.....
Lack of advertising dollars problem? Solved! Spin that, Enemy Media, LOL!
Oh, they will. Watch the news tonight...they’ll be yappin’ about DARK MONEY in politics. *SNORT*
Looks like the naysayers are reluctantly getting aboard the TRUMP train. They don’t want to be left behind.
So Cruz is going to raise money off a PAC that says it’s supporting Trump? Classy.
And calling it racist (and your little dog too!!!)........
The money will be there. The donors know he will be prudent in spending it. Most bang for the bucks.
I think Mercer is one of those guys Trump talked about in the primary when he refused to take their money. They’re like gamblers, they just gotta play. And now that Cruz is done, Mercer moved to a different table. A winning table ;-)
Or maybe, just like you, they care about their country.
What on earth are you talking about?
Mercer has a long extensive history of supporting conservative causes and only conservative causes. Your analogy about him being like a "gambler" "moving on to another table" isn't right.
Am I supposed to be convinced that a PAC that used to support Cruz now embraces Trump? Cruz hasn’t endorsed Trump. Has this PAC officially distanced itself from any mischief from those who aren’t honoring the oath they signed?
Now read the article.
I think some of these operations are crooked.
[Or maybe, just like you, they care about their country.]
The meeting with TRUMP and the evangelical pastors and leaders did much to convince sideline conservatives to join his campaign.
Good. People - even those close to the power in DC - are beginning to understand that a Hillary Presidency would be a disaster after 8 years of Obama (well, it’d be a disaster at ANY time, but ESPECIALLY after the damage that this America-hating clown has caused).
They are beginning to understand that Hillary means:
1) The Supreme Court (and, for that matter, the entire federal judiciary) will be lost, and with it any semblence of the Rule of Law;
2) Continued irresponsible spending, leading to a financial panic and likely depression;
3) Continued weakening of our military;
4) Continued loss of allies, either because they literally get picked off by our enemies, or out of their own sense of self-preservation (i.e. cut a deal with enemies now, before your bargaining position gets worse);
5) An end to fracking, no pipeline to/from Canada, no new offshore leases of oil-bearing property, and the destruction of the coal industry;
6) Continued unlimited immigration, with a decided increase in “random” massacres;
7) Guns are gone;
8) Continued restrictions on free speech, first by pressure, then by law (see #1, above).
9) Significantly increased probability of a war with either Russia or China, and some kind of attack by Iran and/or North Korea (or some combination thereof). This would be the end for this country - with an active 5th column in the media and among many Moslems, not to mention the home-grown Communist sympathizers, it will not be possible to gear up for a war as we did in WW2.
Hillary delenda est!!!!
So, they’re doing it for the right reason, not because they fear being left behind (and not getting something for their efforts which is what “left behind” suggests).
I don’t care why someone does the right thing, only THAT they do the right thing. Let G-d worry about the “why” part...we have enough trouble trying to simply survive and hopefully prosper, without trying to psychoanalyze everyone.
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.
OK, Preview is our friend. Here it is, the way it should be this time:
