Republican Senator Ted Cruz and the outside groups supporting his presidential bid have raised more than $51 million in the three months since he launched his campaign for president, according to a statement from his campaign on Sunday.
Cruz, who announced his candidacy on March 23 in a speech at the conservative school Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, has raised far less in donations directly to his campaign than his supporters have collected for the four outside spending groups supporting him.
The statement said there were 175,000 individual donations to the campaign with an average contribution of $81. About $10 million came in during the second quarter of the year....

Excellent!
I AM ONE OF THEM!
Well, that’s sure a screwy headline....Supporters donating $$$ to Cruz campaign? What next?
That includes me.
Yep, pretty idiotic headline. If supporters make up the bulk of his donations, does that mean opponents contributed the rest?
Multiple times here
They’re trying to smear the SuperPACs, even though all their candidates have them too.
Impressive fund raising numbers for Cruz.
I couldn’t send much, but I was glad to help Ted reach that goal. More will be on the way as this thing progresses.
ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT!
WONDERFUL!
I had to save up and make my donation at 11:30 PM on June 30.
Me too.
Makes sense to me.
The monitor knows what we won’t admit. Poli s are bought and paid for. They don’t get to state their own point of view nor that of the voters they are supposed to represent
This headline goes right along with headlines of recent days. The ones not bought and paid for and hired by bout corp are speaking out about immigration. The others cannot. And the others are trying to parse it in the face of logic and honesty
Not working
The monitor tells us why
I’m one,
Tagline.
“I am Spartacus”
I’ve committed to donating monthly and when I was asked to help before the quarterly accounting I doubled down.
I have never felt more comfortable donating to a candidate and I have donation PTSD (DPTSD) after donating and voting for Rubio.
Boldly fighting the enemy without and within... CRUZ 2016!
After convincing my wife we needed to give heavily to help take back the Senate to stop Obama’s lawlessness, I am now on pretty thin ice in my case for further political campaign contributions.
