The vast majority of money going to Trump's campaign is listed as loans rather than direct payments. If he doesn't plan to take donations for his run, why is he making loans to his campaign? Is he planning to pay himself back with other people's money once he's fooled everyone in the primary?
It's a good question. Trump is legendary cheap. Nothing wrong with that, but I just don't see him spending hundreds of millions of his own money to win the election. We'll see.
That would be the best way to eliminate abortion. getting rid of PP is a good start, but at some point a court is going to have to rule that the Constitution protects the most innocent and vulnerable members of society.
We really don’t care what any of your Trump guys think about Cruz. You didn’t like him to start with!
Not true. Compared to the rest of the Washington oligarchy I still do. Just don’t like him better than Mr. Trump for the job at hand.
Cruz is an opportunist, who thought that running as a conservative will get him the nomination. Now he is doing the GOPe’s dirty work for them and is too deluded to realize that they are just using him and will dump him, when he finished his task of stopping Trump.
Just hope that his supporters wake up, realize what is happening and get behind Trump, who is effective and will indeed implement conservative principles. Why else do you think the GOPe is doing everything to get rid of him?

True conservatives who aren’t 100% backing Cruz at this point baffle me.
law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius was not a govenment job.
Cruz = life long govt employee.
Good grief. I stated the facts. Yes the abortion part is a real bad deal. Trump says he will not fund them. End of story.
Whatever you say, Mitt.
Yes, way to go Carly
Cruz is turning them, many are seeing the people are not on board with the establishment and joining Cruz.
I still remember when Carly owned Trump in the 2nd debate and shut him down, Trump never said anything about her after that. She abused him.
Maybe you could list those wonderful things for us. You should be able to back up what you say. Just ignore the fact that they spend all their money from one single account to fund all those wonderful things along with all the evil things they do when they're not doing wonderful things.
Trump continues to praise PP. If you are pro-life this should concern you. Are you pro-life?
I love the inteligence of you trumpbots. I did not vote for Mittsy. I wrote in. If you would like to sell your boy. Sell him. I already know him. Have Since the 70’s He is the New York Progressive Liberal he has always been. He is Not now or ever has been a conservative. He is after money and power just like the greedy Hildabeast he will get beat by. And It will be YOUR fault. The only person who has fought off the GOP-e is Cruz. At every turn. Thats why they hate him so much. Even at this late point they are having a terrible time coming to him. They should have talked Rubio out of the race long before now.
Thank you, Jeb! finance team.
This endorsement is as good as Graham’s endorsement of Jeb and Haley’s endorsement for Rubio.
Just for fun here’s Carly saying how much she has “great admiration for Hillary Clinton.”

A mind is a terrible thing to waste,
“Funny, but I haven’t noticed Trump saying “stop” to all of the leftist Democrats that have jumped on board the Trump train and that have put up negative Cruz ads. “
For example? Who are you referring to?
“Cruz has claimed to be the consistent conservative from day one. His actual record is that of a bullshit artist.”
A Christian bullshit artist at that.
“She abused him.”
Guess it’s ok as long as anyone but Trump does that right? You admire Carly for that? Really?
