After bemoaning the wealthy GOP donors who he says "actively despise" the party's conservative base, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz has turned his campaign fundraising efforts toward luring in small-dollar bundlers.
In what his camp is calling "the world's first presidential social crowd-funding platform," the Texas senator's campaign on Thursday announced CruzCrowd, a website that hopes to draw in donors who can raise multiple small donations.
"Traditionally, wealthy bundlers have been the financiers and driving force behind presidential politics. Ted Cruz has proven his appeal to wealthy donors and they are a vital part of his campaign," Chris Wilson, director of research and analytics and head of digital strategy for the Cruz campaign, said in a press release.
Wilson said that Cruz is banking on grass-roots support not special interest groups to raise cash.
Capitalizing on this fun and competitive environment not only raises money, but helps build the grassroots infrastructure that is critical to Sen. Cruz's success," he said....

Maybe he can get help from those he treasonously helped
with the SECRET ObamaTRADE that he voted through,

Anybody who didn't have the stones to go to Iowa and oppose ethanol subsidies really has no room to talk about donors or pandering anyway. It will be very quiet though.
Cruz Applauded for Rejecting Ethanol Subsidies at Iowa Ag Summit
Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) attended the Iowa Ag Summit over the weekend and stood alone among attendees in his outright rejection of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), the ethanol subsidies that have a significant impact on Iowas agricultural economy. The Texas Senator appeared along with several other prospective 2016 Republican presidential candidates. Despite the obvious risk of opposing the RFS at an event sponsored by the agriculture industry in a critical early primary state, Cruz was unequivocal in voicing his opposition to the RFS and the crowd applauded his comments.

Cruz is sharp. He’s getting buy-in from every level of support. I’ll stop there. Trolls don’t need oxygen.

I thought that this urban legend had been debunked repeatedly.

Deserves repeating:

1. It is not a lie.
Cruz defended his actions on the radio and at forums.
His action was NOT conservative.
2. One usually pings a FReeper who one attacks;
although you Obama-supporters reportedly do not.
