And George Soros can cash a check for $100mln in five business days....

The globalists will not allow Ted Cruz to be POTUS. They’ll Lee Harvey Oswald him if they have to. He will not win! It’s Jeb or Hillary! Got that peons!?

Which is why Trump/Cruz could be an excellent tag team.

Why Trump first? It could give us 12 or even 16 years to try to save the US.

If we’re gonna save the USA it’s gonna have to be by means outside of the political process. The globalists/establishment have got a lock on that.

“The globalists will not allow Ted Cruz to be POTUS. They’ll Lee Harvey Oswald him if they have to.”

That is much easier said than done. How many powerful people hate Hillary? And yet here she is. And Obama? Since Oswald, POTUS has been heavily guarded at all times.

Wow, didn’t know my piddly donation added that much ;)

On the down side, every presidential candidate I donated to in the past dropped out (Thompson, Cain) or lost. Hopefully, I’ve picked a winner this time.

I don’t know or know of anyone who says Ted Cruz can’t get the nomination and ultimately win the election.

Of those who speak honestly I mean; without some agenda.

The only thing I’ve said before is that Jeb Bush is the Establishment’s anointed one, and unless the power brokers are forced to deliver free and fair primaries, Jeb will be the nominee and Hillary will be President.

Cruz’s war chest is not the issue. His ability, as President, to turn this ship around has never been in question. The Republican party bosses are and always have been the problem.

The vast majority of Americans don’t want anything to do with another Bush. “Bought & paid for by Bush” polls won’t change it : )

No more Shrubs.

It’s not easy but it’s been done. Hillary is not a good example because she’s doing what the powers that be want. She’s protected for that reason.

Some folks with money seem to think he can win.

A valid point of course but $51 million in 3 months is nothing to sneeze at. It is significant by any measure. At that rate, he would have more than enough money to counter the sleeze we all know is coming from both the left and the CINO “right”.

I find it encouraging. A $100 million warchest, just for the primary (assuming $50 mil gain over the next 3 months). Significant! He’s already ahead of the game even if he never got another penny. I doubt Jeb has $50 mil cash on hand at this point.

On another site, a lib posted the usual refrain: Ted Cruz is too conservative. He can't possibly win. Blah, blah blah. I used a point someone else mentioned: Ronald Reagan was also thought to be too “out there” from a conservative standpoint. He won the presidency...TWICE!

"The globalists will not allow Ted Cruz to be POTUS.

Ted Cruz voted in favor of the globalist TPA (fast track TPP and two other secret globalist deals). I like Cruz but actions (votes in the Senate) indicate he supports a globalist world view.

Just being realistic, but the minimum amount for this election will be one billion dollars.

We are about 16 months from the election. That’s five 3 month periods. At 51 million a period, that is 250 million or so.

IOW, Cruz will have to tap into the big donors, and they won’t big donate if they don’t get their pound of flesh.

He made/makes no bones about his support for “free trade”. He made that crystal clear during the whole TPA flap. It is what it is, if one supports him, one must acknowledge that as a fact, at least, if not also support “free trade”.

I’m still not so sure. On the one hand I certainly don’t want the USA to be left out of the global market. On the other, NAFTA-style “free trade” has hurt our manufacturing base it seems to me. I just don’t see a way around it, without imposing highly restrictive tarrifs on imported goods. Which defeats the whole point, IMO. (I doubt a country would want to do business with us if we tax their goods too highly).

It’s a rock and a hard place situation.

Oh the semantics, don't you mean JFK him since JFK went rogue on the ruling establishment?
