Sen. Ted Cruz's presidential campaign raised $772,000 through midnight following his debate performance Wednesday evening in Boulder, Colorado.

"We're continuing to have a strong day on fundraising," a top Cruz aide who confirmed the fundraising haul said on Thursday.

Cruz earned the most-talked-about moment on Facebook and Twitter with a verbal assault on the CNBC moderators, saying their questions illustrate why Americans don't trust the media.

"This is not a cage match. And, you look at the questions: 'Donald Trump, are you a comic-book villain?,' 'Ben Carson, can you do math?,' 'John Kasich, will you insult two people over here?,' 'Marco Rubio, why don't you resign?,' 'Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen?'" Cruz said, sparking applause from the audience and also annoying the moderators. "How about talking about the substantive issues people care about?"

The fundraising number comes the same day that the Cruz campaign announced it had 77,190 volunteers across the country supporting the Texas senator's candidacy....

Cruz has the most money in the bank because he has mostly volunteers and flies oncommercial airlines; not private jets. My younger son ws the captain on the flight Cruz took out of Des Moines two weeks ago.

Cruz's strongest attribute is his understanding of and devotion to the ideas essential to ordered liberty, as declared in America's Declaration of Independence and enshrined in the U. S. Constitution's strict limits on government power!

No other candidate exhibits such depth of understanding of the Constitution's supreme power as "the People's" limitation on its government.

Such understanding was the underlying strength of Reagan's resolve. Reagan had studied the Framers' ideas, understood their reasoning for structuring such a constitutional People's "chain" (Jefferson) on elected and appointed individuals in government, in order to "bind them down from mischief" (again, Jefferson).

If America is to survive as a place of refuge for oppressed peoples, then it must have a leader who protects that Constitution from threats from within and without!

“I sent Ted $300.00 last night.”

You’ll be investigated promptly. ;-)

I love that picture you posted of Sen Cruz with his daughters.

He’s the total package, plus a wonderful daddy. And I think he’s handsome.,

Can’t wait until next year to vote for him.

I love it.

His campaign sent me an email last night, finally reading and sent them 10.

It’s a lot of money to me. I hope it helps.,

Money is great.

Feet on the street is better.

Stay involved, talk him up, use your connections.

:-)

It’s a grass roots army thing.
