I have a better chance of being the nominee.

They are Walker supporters as of now, from what I can tell.

So, the money is coming from “Billionaire donors.” And the evidence of this is . . . ?

Of course, in the MSM, the narrative will be that Cruz is just a bought and paid for stooge for the “rich”, whereas whenever a democrat/liberal piles up lots of campaign contributions, it is evidence of their “broad base of support” among the electorate.

I think they like Scott Walker.
Rand’s going nowhere...

The Kochs Brother will like Rand Paul because they are libertarians of the open borders persuasions. My take is lots of what Rand Paul says is pitched to the Koch Brothers and similar type millionaire-billionaire Republican donors

Works for me.

I hope he continues to work for me.

There's no denying that a sudden influx of cash can test a man's constitution and character. I pray that he's well-prepared for the challenges ahead.

Looky there! You got the memo, LOL!

Maddening, isn’t it?

You mean the guy who wants to put an end to things that have a disparate impact on blacks, like laws against murder and theft?

None. Innuendo to discredit Cruz again. First, they said he could not raise significant amounts of money. Now that he has, they are claiming it is only because of billionaires, not a grass roots effort.

The donations are probably a bit of both. If there are enough people who care to raise ~$1 million for a pizza joint in a week, $31 million for an energizing candidate does not see like that much of a stretch.

Besides, any significant candidate will have some billionaires backing him. If this report is true, then there are moneyed folks out there who believe Cruz can win. However he is raising the money, it is a positive sign for his campaign.

On the bright side, at least our government isn’t for sale.

“there are no known cases in which an operation backing a White House hopeful has collected this much money in less than a week.”

And, this tells me .. Americans are really MAD AS HELL.

LOL! Hardly. That's ok. I'll keep supporting him and keep sending him money. Every time he gets a serious attack by the leftists, I send him money. Not what the leftists want.
