Pretty much every day Ted or Heidi Cruz send me a “personally focused” solicitation for money. Usually it’s a last minute emergency of some kind where every dollar counts to help Ted battle the legions of darkness conspiring against him.
Cruz got a whopping 11% of the self identified independent voters in NH. He’s going to need a lot more than some secret sauce to pull this off.
| Trump has been very good. Never asked for money except when he was having his Wounded Warrior drive. Nothing wrong with using analytics or Big Data. After all, every time you go to the grocery store, there's a computer noting everything you bought. Trump has said nothing about privacy issues so far (that I know of) but I suspect he will try to curb the excesses of analytics. He fired a shot across the bow of Bezoz, the Amazon owner of Washington Post about taxes on the internet, so we'll see. Why should the internet companies enjoy an advantage over the brick and mortar mom and pop stores? That seems unfair. And the click bait ads are absolutely ridiculous on the web and they are driven by analytics. It's another reason I'm voting for the unbought candidate because I suspect many of the others are being payrolled by the anti-privacy Silicon Valley types. The stock market is punishing those companies and I think it's partly because people are up to their necks in these quasi-spying operations on citizens. |
