I’m not an expert on campaign finance but these seem to be healthy numbers and should keep Cruz in strong position to continue the race regardless of how he does tomorrow night.

It’s funny that the Cruz partisans have been obsessive about his “fundraising” for almost a year now.

¡Yeb! should be winning hands down based on this logic.

And another 38M might reverse the negative publicity his VIOLATION mailout created.

This does not jive with a CNN story posted earlier

“First on CNN: Main Cruz super PACs struggled to raise money in fall and winter
CNN ^ | January 31st, 2016 | By Theodore Schleifer

(CNN)The main super PACs supporting Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign only raised a few million dollars in the second half of 2015, a modest sum that far trails the huge checks they collected in the opening days of the campaign.

Cruz’s super PACs, Keep the Promise, have raised only around $2 million in the second half of 2015, according to two people familiar with the figures. The groups have raised up to $5 million in the month of January, the sources said.

That’s a far cry from the $38 million raised in the first half of 2015, most of which came in the opening days of Cruz’s bid.

That sum for Keep the Promise is a significant slowdown and shows the group has not expanded much beyond the original anchor donors that made the group into a surprise story of early 2015. Three families are responsible for $36 million of the roughly $40 million the super PACs raised in 2015, and it does not appear additional donors of the same scale have been landed during the second half of 2015.”

Totally different numbers?

Before that he would have to acknowledge there’s a problem with those mailers.

Cruz has more than enough, for not being Self-Financed, to make it to the SEC, by then Florida and after, will already be decided.

IMHO

We can’t get off his email lists, even multiple unsubscribe submissions are ignored by Cruz. Aggressive fund raising nobody else does.

We get stuff from Paul and even Jeb but they took us off their email list the first time.

Cruz won’t take “GO AWAY” for an answer.

If Cruz doesn’t win, he won’t be in a strong position.

What the numbers show is that in the last 3 months Cruz spent almost as much as he raised. And the primaries will only start now!

Also, the cash on hand reported doesn’t include the Iowa expenses this month. Cruz spent a lot on tv ads.

If he doesn’t win, money will stop coming in. His cash on hand might get him as far as SC.

agreed, plus potential fines for not listing 2x $500k loans on his disclosure statement.

Some forms didn’t list the Citi bank loan at all. Also, the loans were for really low questionable interest rates, not market rates other candidates paid. Maybe this is why they were not disclosed?

The PAC is different from his official campaign fund. The fact that Trump leads by the margins he does and barely spends any money is refreshing.

2 different things a Super PAc VS the Cruz campaign. THe Cruz numbers are from small donations from individuals. That number is very healthy.
