And you apparently weren't smart enough to pick up on the fact that he's counting on the support of rubes like yourself whose "conservatism" can be bought and are just too dull to realize that he's playing you for a fool.

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has asked a Ted Cruz super PAC to explain why it gave $500,000 to another super PAC supporting one of his Republican rivals.
According to financial disclosures from June, Keep the Promise I - one of four separate committees backing Cruz - gave half a million dollars to CARLY for America, the political action committee supporting Carly Fiorina.
Super PACs are legally allowed to give money to other super PACs - they are only prohibited from donating directly to any political campaign. But it's unusual for one of these groups to give money to an opponent, especially when the candidate it supports is still in the race.

“I really do not understand why the Cruz supporters are not demanding an explanation of this money transfer”
Sure you do. The guy is hanging by a thread. Most answers to most questions bring bad news. You don’t want to be the one to ask the question that ends the campaign.
Better shut up, keep your head down, and hope for a miracle.
Ted just wanted to “Spread the wealth.”
The key word being, “Spread”.
Extortion or Hush Money?
There is a difference. In a Presidential election, if it is extortion, someone is liable to get promoted to the RNC. /s
Hush money means Cruz allows himself to get blackmailed. That is par for a political lawyer who has no disipline.
Seriously, seeking out serial mistresses hints of mental illness in one’s upbringing. This ties to the alcoholism in the Cruz family.
So you are saying Cruz wants the cheap labor express Carley as his Veep? Makes perfect sense as Ted has gone over to the dark side. This just confirms it.
That’s a heck of a story! We know it’s true if Carly announces she’s giving the money back.
ROFL ROFL
GUILTY!
With the main stream media talking about it EVERYONE reporter will be forced to ask him questions about it.
“Better shut up, keep your head down, and hope for a miracle.”
It’s hypocritical. Ticks me off. For months the Cruz camp has talked about the high moral ground their candidate has. This question has been hanging out there for months and no one has demanded an explanation from Cruz.
I guess it shows even his supporters know he isn’t as clean as he pretends to be. Yet they still try to preach to the rest of us.
Disgusting really. The hypocrisy comes in when you consider if that money had been given to Trump,,the Cruz supporters would be howling!
Our country is being destroyed by hypocrites. That’s really where the rot is. Doesn’t matter the party label,,it’s the hypocrisy of pretending righteousness then turning away when that position is indefensible.
Very sad and very scary.
“I think it’s a story because the Cruz campaign is stonewalling the FEC when they asked for a simple explanation ...”
Exactly. Why is Cruz stonewalling the FEC investigation?
Oooops! Transaction in June 2015= Time to flush your theory.
My wife made a donation to Romney then called and demanded it back. They sent her a check.
As long as Cruz is holding his bible up, Cruzbots don’t care.
"Actually I think that is part of the FBI investigation.'
It doesn't take the reported 100-150 FBI agents to sift thru the evidence on Hillary's private server. But it would takke at least 100 to sort through the financial records of the Clintons' foundations.
$500,000 divided by the five = $100,000
Sounds about right.
And you apparently weren't smart enough to pick up on the fact that he's counting on the support of rubes like yourself whose "conservatism" can be bought and are just too dull to realize that he's playing you for a fool.
FReegards!
But that would be the end of his Presidential run ... and his seat in the Senate ... so from his perspective, there is no upside to admitting it ...
Cruz isn’t curious to ask why $500,000 came out of his PAC
to go to his competitors PAC.
Your explanation is not credible.
Why isn’t Cruz asking why his PAC money went to Florina?
Did you see him say that,I did.It was tongue in cheek, he laughed, as did his sons, who got the joke.BTW, Cruz said this...

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz believes Donald Trump has taken advantage of the poorly educated for his own personal gain.
Let's think about this for a moment. Should you have come out against Trump for his affair during a previous marriage, or, for a better explanation around Trump University? You and I support Trump. We had nothing to do with those, and there's no law saying we can't talk publicly to Trump about justifying his actions, so why don't we do that, if we believe Cruz should telegraph to a SuperPAC (risking potential legal concerns) over its own bizarre choices against Cruz himself??
