The Mysterious Case of Ted Cruz PAC’s $1/2 Million ‘Donation’ to Help Carly Fiorina

Months ago, before the Republican race was whittled down to just three candidates, a very curious thing happened. Ted Cruz‘s super PAC ‘donated’ $500,000 to Carly Fiorina‘s super PAC. A few articles popped up at the time, and the Federal Election Committee even issued a letter asking the Cruz super PAC to better explain what the donation was for.

To be clear, a half a million dollars is not a small donation, and, at the time, it was the largest expense that the PAC had paid out. So why the heck would Cruz’s PAC hand over that kind of money in the midst of a heated campaign splintered with so many candidates? In an interview in October, Kellyanne Conway, president of Cruz’s PAC told CBS News, that they made the donation in June “because we thought she had important things to say that weren’t being heard.” She added, “we are all in for Ted Cruz for President.”

Do you seriously believe that a group that was pushing for Cruz to be president several months ago would want to help his rival, Carly Fiorina? That makes no sense.

“Skinny lady?” Are her cankles not fat enough for Drudge’s taste?

[DJlaysitup]

Donald Trump is an “active guy” when it comes to the ladies - but he marries them and when he gets a divorce he pays them big money - fair is fair in love and war.

The guy screws around while preaching “values” then takes money given to him to get elected to an opponent to cover up a sexual escapade.

Facts don't matter in your world? That's an enormous amount of lyin' crammed into one sentence.

I think you can support a candidate without characterizing his opponents as the spawn of Satan. Especially one who has fought for us in the Senate more than 99% of the people in our party.

Teds PAC sent money to Carly. Some think it was to keep one of his mistresses quiet

[digger48]

does Carly have his testicles in a lockbox?

Without his nuggets, I sure hope Ted knows which bathroom to use.

That pic really reminds me of Lena Dunham...another face I wish I had never seen.

[Nifster]

Play on the old line it ain’t over till the fat lady sings

[opus1]

Thanks, now I see what the money’s for. Both those girls are in desperate need of some new frocks.

I am not big on calling people out for their religious hypocrisy. At all. BUT, Ted says he’s a SOUTHERN BAPTIST (Though many say he’s a “DOMINIONIST”, which his father---who has called Ted “The Anointed One”---claims to be; or even a Mormon, as he stood by while Glenn Beck recited Mormon-specific references, applying them to Cruz, That Cruz is the “raising of the priests” and the fulfillment of the “prophecy of the White Horse.” Or a Seventh Day Adventist, as his wife, Heidi, who has more than once referred to Ted as “The Face Of God.”)

I am Southern Baptist, raised that way. Let me tell you, Southern Baptist are very loosey goosey when it comes to what it accepts or allows in each affiliate congregation (for example, some can dance, some cannot.) BUT….THREE THINGS are not acceptable ANYWHERE to Southern Baptists: GAMBLING, DRINKING, and NOT TITHING:

She revisited the final moments of that epic national title game between Villanova and North Carolina. Fiorina and Cruz were watching the game on the bus, and after Marcus Paige’s incredible 3, Cruz threw money on the table. – USA TODAY

I can’t believe he picked her. I’ll bet it was the party pic. Cruz is into his “hear and obey” phase.

[Sacajaweau]

So if it was just campaign rhetoric, we can’t believe anything she says either.

[CAluvdubya]

Got to be hush money. For the mistress?

Got to be. Nothing else fits.

[Yaelle]

Which mistress?

One of the 5 with the bars over their eyes. She used to work on the Cruz campaign, then left for Carly’s. Then his PAC puts $500 into Carly’s PAC.

[SaveFerris]

Well, for $500,000, she steps right up to the plate.

Man, that is one expensive woman!! lol

[batterycommander]

....NE and Roger Stone ( whether or not you like the man he knows where the bodies are buried)

or rather where the used condoms lie.

[Sacajaweau]

Looking at the real stories...They both love waterboarding. Carly is pro-life....except...rape incest & Health of the mother.

It was a stupid choice and he's done.
