Great find, Jane.

Trump has said these guys are owned by donors. What other choice do they have, but nevertheless, it’s true, and the donors are hedging bets.

The unfortunate implication is that Cruz is not gaining the traction threshold on time, therefore, the PAC has roaming eyes for another horse to pace.

It’s wicked of them, and it works for me if they get fined or thrown in the clink! Otherwise what is the difference between this PAC behavior and Las Vegas?????

Hmmm...That seems a bit odd Jane.

I take great comfort in the fact that everything is above board on the Democrat side! You won’t hear of any FEC inquiries into Hillary! She does everything strictly by the book, and would definitely not allow any improprieties!

Theories have been floated by various corners that the republican party may have been trying to keep Carly Fiorina in the race simply so it could say it had a female candidate, or that Fiorina was kept around specifically so a woman could attack democratic rival frontrunner Hillary Clinton; indeed Fiorina spent the summer playing the role of Clinton attack dog. But now that Carly Fiorina climbed just high enough in the polls to matter as a candidate, the mysterious backroom financial dealings which had kept her in the race are now more than just a head scratcher for onlookers. They’re suspicious enough that the Federal Election Commission is demanding answers. That means this may have just gone from a scandal to perception to scandal with legal jeopardy.

That’s easy. Ted and Carly have something in common: Goldman Sachs. “Follow the money...”

Nails it pretty good.

We are supposed to be a Nation of “Law”
In the last 30 years all I have witnessed is the Lawyers speaking Lawyerese breaking and bending and changing Laws

WWIII with all of it’s horrific reality may not save us and may be what the POS resident wants.

Time to think again of what this POS Usurper has changed and how to re-claim our Country, our Heritage and Honor.

The Ballet Box was just laughed at today by Boehner and his like, I’d like to laugh back.

I wonder if the Fed Election Commission is going to look into Hillary’s Super Pacs?

What the bull cow pooh is this? More naive traps that Cruz is falling into because of his acceptance of funds from the chamber of horror elites?

This is why we need Trump. Scour out the male cow pooh.

During the 2014 midterm election the group Romney was connected to pulled some sleazy crap.
Margaret Hoover’s “American unity fund”.
This may be similar.

Too bad Cruz’s name is messed up with Barton and Beck.

Yes, somebody earlier today predicted that such “trumped up” charges would be thrown at each and every political enemy of the left.

(I think it was Buck Sexton sitting in for Rush)

More information: https://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2015/09/04/the-perplexing-case-of-the-ted-cruz-super-pacs/

FYI Keep the Promise I is breaking no laws by donating to multiple candidates. Other PAcs do it as well. It does appear hinky that money donated (presumably) for the purpose of electing Cruz should be spent on another candidate.

I like the theory that the super PAC guys wanted a stalking horse, someone who could go after Hillary without seeming anti-woman.
