This morning I woke up to an email from my campaign finance director. The email wasn't good news.
I've gotten emails like this before, but let me tell you: this time is different. Our mid-month fundraising report is due in just two days, and we're more than $300,000 short of funding our campaign.
As you know, having the resources necessary to compete is a big factor in running a campaign for president. We've already seen so many candidates who fell short leave this race.
Our campaign is literally running out of money, and to keep campaigning -- taking on Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and the Washington Cartel -- I need your help.
....Snip....
For liberty,
Ted Cruz

One of my favorite scenes from “The Blues Brothers”.
Makes sense tho, Cruz is winning nothing, its been the NeverTrump GOPe machine claiming to be for Cruz to stop Trump. He may be getting party insiders to say they are delegates but actual supporters are running thin.
Can see it on here with all the people switching from Cruz to Trump after learning more about Cruz.
For ever And ever Hallelujah....!
Flush money?
Ha.
It’s not a scam - marketing doesn’t work if you can’t get folks to open the letter.
Hence the nickel or stamp enclosed in some of the ones I get. Although I do try to get off of those lists as it is costing people I support a bunch of money.
There are 798 remaining
Trump needs 60.4% of the remaining delegates.***
Cruz needs 89.7% of the remaining delegates.***
*** to win on the first roll call.
There have been many conventions that went past the first roll call. This one will too. Cruz will win on the second roll call because the delegates have seen how Trump has handled himself during this campaign and will not support him.
Go to the 270towin interactive calculator and see for yourself.
It will end up about 1050 Trump 880 Cruz, 220 Kasich, 180 Rubio + 140 unpledged going into the convention.
On the first roll call, Cruz will get the vast majority of the unpledged delegates making it about 1060 Trump to 1000 Cruz.
On the second roll call, Cruz will get 180 from Kasich, 150 from Rubio and probably 200 from Trump. He will walk away with it easily after the send roll call.
Acting like an asshole, belittling people, bullying people, threatening people, making fun of people and talking about the size of your penis may be a good strategy for attracting attention and getting some free media coverage. Unfortunately for Donald, it is not a winning political strategy.
Now, go cry yourself to sleep.
What chaps him is all the high class hookers want to stay at Trump Plaza. Just $10 more.
It took me a while to get off the Cruz email lists but the “Heidi is concerned” ones always struck me as kinda funny.
Did it come the same day as the Sheriff Arpaio letter?
Sounds like another thing he learned from Glenn Beck...
Too bad Ted. You burned your bridges
A campaign contribution? Ok, how much? 5, 10, 25, 50?
They sent email like that before if you remember and Heidi was worried sick. Besides didn’t he just get big checks from Wall Street yesterday? He sure can spend OPM.
I don’t even want to ask who is the baby dad....I know it’s him. LOL!
He’s from Washington....they have a spending problem. :>)
“His campaign is going broke!”

NOT! In the run-up to Super Tuesday, Cruz was sending $$$ requests on a daily basis and each day he’d update on the amount needed...Doing some quick math, it looked like he was pulling in close to $250K per day! That’s multiplies to about his last quarterly take, a little over $20M...he also spends wisely, so he seems to always have a lot of cash on hand...
I wonder how many $5, $10, $20, $100 donations I could pull off if I was a Goldman Sachs biggie that had a six-figure salary before going on hiatus?
