Ted Cruz’s $51 Million Haul: TEA Party Favorite Has Big Bucks Behind Him …
FITS News ^ | July 5, 2015 | Will Folks

Posted on 07/05/2015 6:11:22 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

In a little more than three months, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz‘s presidential campaign has raised more than $14.2 million from over 175,000 contributors. Combined with the $37 million raised by a political action committee backing Cruz, the Texas lawmaker’s presidential aspirations will be supported by a $51 million war chest.

“The grassroots energy and support we are seeing is overwhelming,” Cruz said in a statement. “In Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina – and all across the country – we are seeing courageous conservatives coming together for real change. We’re reassembling the (Ronald) Reagan coalition – from conservatives to libertarians to people of Faith – and with the help of so many supporters, we will be able to deliver our optimistic message all across the country.”

This website wrote back in January of Cruz’s path to victory in early-voting South Carolina – and these fundraising numbers will go a long way in making sure he gets his message out here and in other early-voting states.

In fact Cruz’s impressive haul guarantees he’ll be one of the top tier GOP candidates through Super Tuesday (March 1, 2016), when twelve states hold “Republican” primary or caucus elections.

Our thoughts on Cruz at this stage of the race? As we noted in our post assessing his chances there’s a lot to like about the guy … although there are certainly things to dislike, too. So far, he remains one of the few GOP candidates we’d consider getting behind … in spite of his occasional missteps.

I am by no means “Big Bucks”, but I have thrown him some coin, and will continue to do so. Go Ted!

Hillary took in $45million this quarter. Cruz took in $10million. The $50million includes his PACs.

Hopefully he’s got campaign managers that know what to do with the money.

I deal with them from time to time as a bundler. They seem professional to me.

IIRC, Ted Cruz has quite a few country stars backing him, but I haven’t made a list as that’s not my favorite genre anymore.
