It’s not quite the spectacle of the Donald Trump show. But as Ted Cruz barnstorms through the South, he is producing campaign extravaganzas befitting his new status as Trump’s closest rival.

TRUSSVILLE, Ala. — He jets between stops in a charter plane, the crowds at his events line up in advance outside the doors and young attendees are treated to peppermint sticks and pictures with Santa.

It’s not quite the spectacle of the Donald Trump show, but as Ted Cruz barnstorms through his 12-day Southern swing he is producing his own series of campaign extravaganzas that befit his newfound status as Trump’s closest rival.

The differences between this tour and Cruz’s first major trip through the South — a summer bus tour in August — are manifest. The crowds are bigger this time and the events come with more bells and whistles, ranging from videos that feature endorsements from prominent conservative leaders to the heightened presence of lawmakers and party officials....

Ted says Trump won’t be the nominee— why would I doubt him?

Here is what I have so far.

Keep the Promise I Super PAC 11,000,000 from Renaissance Technologies LLC
Keep the Promise II Super PAC 10,000,000 Caprock Partners
Keep the Promise III Super PAC Wilks Brothers $15,000,000

I am not sure how the FEC decided to categorize the donation by Renaissance Technologies LLC as real estate when they are clearly Hedge Fund/Securities firm.
There is more that can be identfied at his Ted Cruz for President PAC which operates differently than those above.

All data from Opensecrets.org
No disrespect to Ted Cruz but we need to know what is going on here.
