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....

I would say so. Thanks for pointing that out.

Agreed. We need to bring as many to our side as possible regardless of where they were in the past or why. We need every dollar and vote to win. Wish more here at FR felt that way.

Robert Mercer is an Open Borders supporter/opportunist.

He has ties to Club for (Mexico’s) Growth ($750K), Rove’s Crossroads ($2M) and to Freedom Partners Fund (formerly COC fund…$2.5M).

I find it, er, interesting that these new PAC’s are using Trump’s phrases like ‘Make America’ Number 1, again and Crooked Hillary as part of their fundraising.

I HOPE by now, that freepers have gotten a gut full of the duplicitous Rafael Cruz! He was also in charge of the NRSC before the election, who was raising $$$ off Trump and his supporters.

See

Ted Cruz is profiting from stolen Trump campaign contributions by NRSC. MORE Dirty Tricks!
