Again.

On Tuesday morning, this landed in inboxes across America:

Read the article.
It’s a fundraising plea.

It make him look desperate. Bobby Jindal is using the same tactic.

I don’t think Ted is actually leaving the race. I think he is playing with words here in order to promote last minute donations. I think he’s saying the campaign is ‘dropping’ about $200,000. short of their fundraising goal to be reported on Wednesday. If this is what’s going on, as much as I like Ted, I don’t like this tactic of using tabloid like, panic inducing headlines.

Um, no. Trump will fund him if necessary. They are allies. The only two who “get it,” and they both know that.

Poorly written article.

If it is indeed a fundraising gimmick, then Ted is not really ‘dropping out.’ It said he ‘may’ have to dropping out.

Click bait.

I predict his fundraising this last quarter will take everyone’s breath away.

Cruz wants 400k by Wednesday or he'll fold the tent.

His supporters should get to work.

This is the downside of not backing a real state billionare.

It is merely a funding raising tactic. I get many, many funding raising e-mails. This was done to get people’s attention, and I realized what the Cruz campaign was doing before I opened the e-mail. It was obvious. And I didn’t have the slightest fear that he was dropping out.

OK, so National.Sun.Times.com accused Ted Cruz of using a click-bait subject line and National.Sun.Times.com had no qualms using the same.
