Ted Cruz drops fundraising 'money bomb'
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 6/24/15 | David Drucker

Sen. Ted Cruz is imploring supporters to donate $1 million to his presidential campaign by Tuesday, saying in a recorded email appeal that positive fundraising results are important to shaping the media narrative of the 2016 contest.

The Texas Republican proved to be a surprisingly prodigious and effective fundraiser in the opening weeks of his White House bid. He raised $4 million online his first week and has told reporters that super PACs backing his candidacy have "banked" an eye-popping $37 million.

Now, Cruz is asking his backers to help him close the second fundraising quarter strong to help him put up a good showing against Republican front-runner Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee.

"I'm sure that you've seen that both Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton have announced their candidacies for president, just like everyone knew they would, and they're both well on their way to raising well over $100 million each. Well, we're not going to raise $100 million. But we don't need to raise that much money," Cruz said. "We have just days before the most important deadline of the 2016 presidential campaign. On June 30, every single presidential campaign must file reports with the Federal Election Commission, reporting exactly how much money we have raised.

There have been no commercials to date in other than early primary states. Money has to be spent in order of priority.

For a freebie, watch Cruz on Hannity tonight.

Maybe Donald can convince TEd to vote no on TPP.

Mariner, my friend, I don’t think Ted would align with the Donald. If they have 1 thing in common, they dance to their own tune.

Go to cafepress.com, they sell them. I got my Ted Cruz yard sign a few weeks ago. It was about $31 and change with the shipping, but worth it.

Hey CJ, Ted’s having a great week. Meanwhile, avoid the trolls, especially those “I was for and now against”— not worth your time. Obviously weak minded. -:)

Sorry, not this time. I did so first time around. Not happy with some of his positions, lack of transparency, etc.

Just donated to Cruz today. I will give him more if he continues to draw supporters. I made the mistake in the past to donated all my donation to someone who dropped out early.

I think he will vote against TPP. Haven’t heard what’s in it yet, but we know what a bad negotiator O is, right? Plus, Ted already had some concerns from the rough draft.. I’m looking forward to hearing what he has to say on Hannity tonight.

Good advice. Anyone who can’t see what a remarkable opportunity we have in Ted Cruz is just not thinking straight. His interview on Hannity will be good. So glad to see him getting more air time.

I had some doubts about him over the trade brouhaha....but if I keep looking for perfection, I’m never going to find it.
