Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)has picked up a former fundraiser for Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
According to CNN, many donors are also now warming up to Cruz:
Keep the Promise, the main umbrella of pro-Cruz groups, is encountering a flurry of eager donors after Cruz's victory in Iowa, sources say -- but since it does no active soliciting, it has not yet turned that newfound interest into cash in the bank account.
And a separate, newer super PAC, Stand for Truth, only just hired a professional fundraiser, Kate Doner, CNN has learned. Doner was the longtime fundraiser for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, and she has deep connections to many of the major, high-dollar donor networks in Republican politics.
A number of GOP megadonors have indicated a willingness to back Cruz. Las Vegas casino titans Sheldon Adelson and Steve Wynn both gave the maximum they could to the campaign during the last campaign fundraising quarter, yet neither of the magnates has given large checks to the pro-Cruz super PAC effort. And even the billionaire Deason family, which has endorsed Cruz, has not given to a super PAC.

The Kochs have given plenty to good ol’ ted..’sherlock’, they just prefer the other Cuban.
[snip] The group has been Cruz’s top donor, giving more than $705,000 of his $18.1 million in contributions, according to the non-partisan Center for Responsive Government,

Ted Cruz is Winning the Race for Koch Network Cash, but Marco Rubio May Have More Koch
“What a surprise that super rich Pacs are supporting ready for the cash Teddy!”
I’m sure CEO LLoyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs, and CEO Jaime Dimon of JPMorgan/Chase will give Ted some cash. These same guys gave Obama his seed money (millions) when they were scared of McCain. They figured that McCain the loose cannon, might turn on Wall Street for political gain, but Obama was a prostitute and could be bought, and STAY bought. They figured right.
It’s pretty much his TPA model.
Co author an op-ed supporting it even though it gives Obama more power, because it was six years in the making
Push for it other ways. Talk it up. Do interviews.
Vote comes along: Oops, I dropped my pencil...
Gang of 8 comes up
He offers an amendment in committee as a poison pill to increase H1-B visas by 400% to 500% of what they had been.
His own Republican brethren shoot him down.
Two years later, he’s still pushing the poison pill, H1-B visa increase.
This is one slippery dude.
“CEO LLoyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs,”
He actually met with Obama to discuss the plans for Obamas ‘by the pen’ amnesty. Goldman also hired and PRAISED illegal aliens...one worked in the same office as Heidi.
Now we know what he is, it’s just a matter of establishing a price.
Did you read your link?
$30,200?
That's downright puny.
As I pointed out, the Koch brothers' American Freedom Fund PAC is spending several million (1.5 million) in SC trashing Ted Cruz.
Blankfein would wholesale his mother for 100 dollars, and her walker too, if he could get an extra 20 dollars for it.
This is one slippery dude.
I keep reminding you that he is an Ivy League Lawyer. That is what they are trained to do. :)
That has to sting!
All other billionaires use their money for bad things.

“I keep reminding you that he is an Ivy League Lawyer.”
Harvard....
just like Obama
just like “Republican” Roberts.
Before everyone goes off the rails on who’s buying who, a little food for thought....
Trump is spending his own money on his campaign, but is he really?
He is “loaning” money to his campaign, and he expects to be paid back in full.
If he wins the nomination, and if he goes on or not to win the White House, he will be holding special “fundraiser” and “events” to pay off that loan.
Pac’s will form to do so.
It will be very interesting to see who forms those PAC’s and who donates.
So you have to ask yourselves, who is more beholding?
The one who receives the money to run (a gamble, if he loses) or the one whose debt will be retired by the donations?
I guarantee you that some of the same wall street/globalist that donors you all find so evil will also help Trump retire his dept.
Mark my words, when the fundraising comes later, see where the money comes from.
Some candidates raise to run, some get reimbursed after running, and some do a combination of the two.
It’s also true, at least as far as I am able to figure, and I spent many hours on the internet examining Cruz.
I am sure CEO LLoyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs, and CEO Jaime Dimon of JPMorgan/Chase will give Ted some cash. These same guys gave Obama his seed money (millions) when they were scared of McCain. They figured that McCain the loose cannon, might turn on Wall Street for political gain, but Obama was a prostitute and could be bought, and STAY bought. They figured right.

He is “loaning†money to his campaign, and he expects to be paid back in full.”
I would like to see some links, or otherwise some substantive proof of this.
Please ping, if you do receive these links. I’ve not been able to find where Trump has said ‘he expects to be paid back in full’. Thanks.
