I donated to the Cruz campaign when he first announced. The donation requests became overwhelming very soon after.
Once Trump announced and I switched due to Ted’s votes, I told the Cruz campaign that I support Trump.
The begging stopped.
I had to explain this to my wife. You give to one group, and it’s like chumming the water. Once they’ve drained you, then they sell your info. to similar groups: those who take 98% and give 2% (minus their expenses), to the charity they purport to represent.
That’s just another bonus for Trump. He’s not standing there with his hand out.
On top of that, if you are the widow giving a mite, you don’t wonder if the corporation (US Chamber of Commerce, SEIU, whatever) that itemizes such things is getting a political IOU while all you get is another request for C-note.
Admit it or not, Cruz is piling up IOUs. Trump is not.
