My wife and I will both donate the max, it’s either $2,600 or $2,700 for the upcoming cycle. We will donate that in the primary, and in the general.

I will raise $1 million for the primaries and $1 million for the general and try to do $100,000 for the PAC. Remember how short a period Fred was in the race back in 2008? I did over $40,000.

Money is way overrated. Spend $1 Billion to try to get me to vote liberal and you waste a billion bucks to no positive end.
Cruz or any other conservative does indeed need cash. But not to the level the MSM increasingly promotes year after increasing year. What they need most of is a base that isn’t gonna turn tail and run AGAIN when the RINO wing starts screaming AGAIN.
Principles matter. They get people elected when they are adhered to en masse.

Senator Cruz will be getting whatever I can spare if he decides to run.

Good they’ll spend all their time attacking Cruz (who can take it), and West will swoop in and take the reigns. I keep saying it, but Cruz needs to be Senate Majority leader to a West presidency.

I’m not a Cruz supporter, nor a supporter of anyone else at this time.
But the article is nonsense. No prominent Republican from Texas is going to lack money. Shoot, Texans alone could easily finance such a campaign.
To: Squeako
A) Cruz has already stated that he doesn’t want to be Majority Leader, (B) West only has one 2 year term as a congressman under his belt (don’t pull-out “he was in the Army” on me, so was I and a million other guys) and (C) we won’t see another black president for at least one or two generations, that’s how bad BHO has messed up.

Of course they are. They want the two parties of Big Government (both the Republican and Democrat wings) to be the only options for the American voter.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
It's hard to argue with your point "C" but West has a more solid conservative foundation than someone like Ben Carson whom Hannity constantly parades simply for being a black "conservative".
I hadn't heard that Cruz doesn't want to be majority leader, but he sure acts as though he does; he's the only conservative leader there!
As far as West only being a one term Congressman, he was of course gerrymandered out of his district, but aside from that I'd take a career military officer over a lawyer/career politician any day of the week.

Cruz has only been a senator since 2013, so he's not a “career politician” in my opinion. Lieutenant Colonel, while a responsible rank, is not a flag officer, so he does not have the kind of experience that that would entail. And again I reiterate, there will not be another black president, of any kind, until long after you and I are gone from this mortal coil. Bank on it. That experiment is over and it failed terribly.

That Cruz has only been a Senator for less than two years doesn't really help your argument against West. But nevertheless I will say I'd gladly vote for him given the opportunity. I do think his experience as a lawyer fits his present position, though. My recollection was that he was also in government in TX when he ran against Dewhurst but I may be mistaken.
West's career in the military indicates to me his devotion to serving his country and every time I've heard him speak he gave me no doubt that he's someone who'd defend The Constitution. I never got that impression from Colin Powell.

And here’s a thought regarding experimental elections: How about we never elect another godless commie for president.
