$15 million, also to Cruz:
Ted Cruz Sells His Soul to to Frackers for $15 Million

I’d hate to make a prediction about this race.
Yes, those terrible frackers. Imagine propping open cracks in shale with sand. It's almost too horrible to imagine. I forget why, but it's just too horrible to imagine. For some reason.
Meanwhile... the press is reporting every day how Trump would lose to Sanders, and The Establishment GOP Loser du Jour is at 58% in the same poll that doesn't even list Cruz as a top tier candidate.
I can't wait to see Cruz smoke all these A-holes in next week's debate.
I’d say Cruz would have to make Trump look senile to have a chance at it. Don seems pretty sharp for that to happen at this time.
“The donation represents one of the largest amounts given by a single donor to a Super PAC so far this campaign cycle and demonstrates the potential influence that individuals can have upon a presidential election and with a senior lawmaker.”
Whoa - if I gave someone that much money, I’d expect more than a thank you note. I’d expect direct influence on policy.
“magnet for big donors” ?
Ted Cruz is one of the few who can attract both small and big donors. He currently has more small donors than anyone else, although Bernie Sanders might overtake him.
Rand Paul depends almost totally on small donors.
Jeb Clinton depends almost totally on big donors.
Some of the others have a mix...but not like Ted Cruz.
My mentor Bill Robinson taught that there are three things in politics:
Money
People
the brains to know what to do with them.
The history of conservatives has been that they mostly lack the last of the three. Does the Cruz campaign staff know what to do with the two assets he does have?
Cruz was scheduled to appear at a book store near me. I found out about it from a Walker supporter who also is a supporter of conservatives working toegether.
Cruz sends me numerous appeals for money in which he states I am his supporter. (Well, he’s in my top 3.) But not once does Cruz send me an email saying “I’ll be a a bookstore close to you. Come and bring 3 friends with you.”
Conservatives will win when we find the brains. Until then, playing the victim card will not win us anything ... except a little more money from the delusional.
What would be the grand total sum from this quarter and last quarter for Ted Cruz ?
