Cruz had better have one heckuva grassroots funding machine. He’s gonna need it.

He’s got better than that, Skeets. He’s a man of Destiny.

He already got funds from me! I believe his total is already up to $8 million. Not bad in one week.

Cruz is going to pull in voters who skew Democrat, who always assumed Republican politicians have (F500) after their names. Many of these same Dems will be those made uneasy by the DNC’s Perversion-Treason Agenda, but who didn’t realize they had enough reasons to safely leave the hive.

Just thinking the same thing.

After you are elected, go after specific problems in the corporations, but also give them tax parity with other nations.

It’s a give and take game, and the U. S. can benefit from altered corporate problems going both ways.

To do this now simply cuts off any funding he could have had from this group and further alienates them from cooperating in the future.

While he may have thought this would garner support, I think it was short-sighted. I do think corporations need to be cleaned up a bit.

My first priority would be to bring back jobs to the United States through tax incentives, part of what needs to be addressed anyway, but why not use jobs as leverage while you’re at it?

Obama and Mitt raised about $1 billion apiece for 2012, IIRC.

95% of the $4 million dollars he’s raised are from small contributions of $100 or less. A true man of the people. Apple’s Tim Cook the homo, can go pound sand. We are not going to be dictated to by a bunch of overpaid, out of touch, narcissistic Fortune 500 CEO’s.

He's running a silent-majority, grassroots campaign. He's all in. And it's going to be a big win.

There are some things that money can't buy. Like integrity.

Not only is he right on the issues, a brilliant mind and a gifted speaker, but he's a brilliant tactician as well.
