-— and apparently an explosion in campaign contributions since he took the stage.

Check it out!

I’d say 225,000 contributions with an average contribution of $68 is quite impressive.


Since the debate? Yowza! That’s hard to believe.

Fantastic news.

Must be a result of all the post-debate google searches for “Ted Cruz.” I heard somewhere that he led those at 67%.

I saw a US map of Cruz support and it was everything except the urban coastal areas.

You bet!

That’s more than $15 million bucks!

That’s a lot of cash, E-S.

And, I’m betting the lion’s share was from Christian conservatives.

That could be due to all the TRUMPeting going on.

$15 mil is terrific. I fail to see why they keep saying Bush “has the money.” Bush has nothing compared to Trump, and while I haven’t kept up with Cruz’s fundraising, I know it has been extremely impressive.

Cruz’ donations should be around $60 million at this point.

His book has to be helping to open eyes.

Cruz is still my top pick, donated some money over the weekend. I don't believe for a minute that the RNC will support him, though, and in fact will step up their attacks on him once (or if) they take out Trump.

Cruz used the words “Radical Islam”, that was worth several million in itself.
A mild phrase by my standards but, considering what we have heard since 2001 it’s a start.

You and I are absolutely on the same sheet on that one. I'm almost getting the impression they're running interference for each other.

Jeb fading into the background....I think. As Mark Steyn says, three of the last five presidents being from the same family is unbecoming of a republic. (a close paraphrase)

Besides, they gave us both Anthony Kennedy and John Roberts. Might as well have had Bill Clinton selecting judges.

This is VERY GOOD news for Plan B.

I'd like to see him raise $500mil from individual contributors, and if Trump bows out or flames out, he'll get $500 from me.

Even though I don't like him, I believe he's the second most likely to burn Wash DC to the ground.

Hell, I don't even like Trump lol
