What do these people expect in return for their investment?
Hence the fearing, loathing and back stabbing from the consultant class. People like Cruz are bad for business.
It’s the Rush/Breitbart/Drudge primary. When those outlets were sweet on Walker, he was running away with it. Now they’re all sweet on Trump, and he’s running away with it. Daily you’re talking about tens of millions of dollars worth of good coverage.
No Super PAC can compete. It’s all about the Rush/Breitbart/Drudge primary. I still say Cruz will ultimately win that one. Not that they’ll sour on Trump, just a hunch about ultimate preferences.
Preach it!
It costs big money to run for office.
We have 3 choices.
We continue letting big money guys donate big money to campaigns.
We go full socialist and fund campaigns through tax dollars only and only party acceptable candidates can run.
We allow billionaire aristocracy to forever control the presidency.
Imperfect it may be but I’ll go with choice number 1.
Amen - and pass the plate!
I can offer a discount coupon from Ryan’s. But you have to buy one full-priced meal first.
That Cruz fundraiser had dried up
As far as I can ascertain, Cruz has held his fire at Donald. Extremely smart move.
Cruz is currently number 1 in the Breitbart primary poll, but the conservative news outlets seem to be the Trump 24/7 channel, I don’t see how that changes anytime soon.
And the other way around so far, I’ve noticed.
(Haven’t forgotten the Mrs.)
Perhaps we all (including Cruz) would fare better going with President Trump for four years and having Cruz enhance his conservative cred (without those donations) in the US Senate.
Thank you - Hope to get her home today or tomorrow.
Large donations are going to come anyway, as Cruz’s viability as a nominee increases...as has been happening. I’m aware of Cruz’ wife’s connections but still support him.
Trump has refused several donations (at least one) but not all of them.
Agree 100% - and let me clarify, when I referred to the 'Rush Breitbart Drudge' Primary, I didn't mean the actual Breitbart primary poll - I wrote this before that even came out - what I meant was the "Trump 24/7" thing, which Breitbart is part of now. These same outlets used to be Walker - and I still think they will evolve towards Cruz. Time will tell. The Donald has thrown everything in disarray (a good thing for the most part).
Not only smart, but typical Cruz. He's always been about attacking the liberal Democrats and to some degree the GOP establishment. He'll probably not throw an elbow at anyone but people in those groups. BTW, when Newt was doing that, he was winning big big big in 2011 and then again for a while in 2012.
Frankly, I wish Donald would quit attacking Walker from the left and keep his fire aimed at the libs and the gop e.

Karl Rove told Cruz the same thing when Cruz was running for the Senate...said he had no chance of winning. Zero.
Cruz laughed in his face.
