Dang it, you were first with a very important point that contradicts the very meaning of the headline of this thread!
I'd also venture to say, that Trump has spent less than Cruz has from beginning to end, and yet virtually doubles him in most major polls nationally.
Not saying Cruz is a spendthrift, just that in the entire campaign dollar analysis, Cruz has spent more. And has less (so far).
Probably. But then Cruz doesn’t have the luxury of unlimited free press that Donald has.
The truth? somewhat less so, but what the hey, gotta pump up the candidate.
beats the heck out of reading how much of a puke the opponent is, and how the earth will stop on it's axis if the other guy's candidate wins.
