Presidential campaigns from across the political field are releasing fundraising reports on Wednesday, but supporters of Ted Cruz already celebrated this past weekend.
A week after announcing they had raised $52 million, the Texas senator met in Colorado Springs with about 45 of his top bundlers this weekend at The Broadmoor, a luxury resort at the foot of the Cheyenne Mountains, to celebrate the haul.
Thanks to a mix of grassroots donors and a few billionaires, Cruz's supporters boast a position few anticipated: Second place in the crowded and competitive GOP fundraising race.
In between expeditions of fly fishing and horseback riding (with Cruz himself taking part), the donors said they came to realize that the vaunted fundraising operations of their opponents aren't the juggernauts they once believed.
"We dominated everybody in the field when it comes to hard money, and everybody when it comes to soft money except Jeb, and I think that surprised people," said Houston investor and summit attendee Christopher Zook, contrasting the so-called hard money raised by official campaigns with the soft money raised by outside groups that support the campaigns....

Hard money reference. Money in the bank
Presidential campaigns from across the political field are releasing fundraising reports on Wednesday, but supporters of Ted Cruz already celebrated this past weekend.
Is that your guess or just a comment?
“And they advised that they would have the money to go the distance”.
Close. Keep trying.
I suppose the fun with the big political donors at the resort came out of the funds raised?
You’d be wrong. I’m told they’re on their own dimes except for some incidentals.
And these are mostly “bundlers” not “donors,” per se. Do you know that difference?
“about 45 of his top bundlers this weekend at The Broadmoor, a luxury resort at the foot of the Cheyenne Mountains, to celebrate the haul”
There it is.
Nope.

Small online donations powered that fundraising operation, and are powering this one too: 175,000 donors gave an average contribution of $81.
If that’s the one you mean, $10 to FR please. Hold the fries.
You all are getting closer, but no.
Does it make a difference? If its correct it my guess. If not its a comment lol
LOL No, it’s not the one I’m going for. Hint: It’s related to Iowa...
“including his wife Heidi Cruz, a Goldman Sachs executive who is playing a leading role in the finance operation”
She left there in March, but CNN, of course, has an axe to grind. If it were Hillary, John Ellis or Bernie it would disappear down the memory hole.
Then I’d say it’s one of the sentences in the paragraph containing, “And while outside groups supporting Cruz raised far less than the groups backing Jeb Bush — which raised $103 million — they edged out those supporting any other Republican.” All of them speak to grass roots support.
The campaign has modeled each state’s electorate through March 15, having identified three times as many potential Cruz supporters in Iowa than the total number of expected voters in the state’s Republican caucus, according to spokesman Rick Tyler.
