Ah I feel somewhat guilty and ashamed, but resemblance is uncanny.

In the first weeks of the 2016 campaign, I made nice donations to Rand Paul, Trump, and Cruz campaigns. I have never been solicited for donations from the Trump campaign, I have made my donations to Trump 2016 from the campaign's webpage. I also signed up later for the emails that announce Trump's campaign appearance stops, these have not solicitated for donations.
Both the Paul and Cruz campaigns would send me regular emails solicitating donations, often they have been of the "emergency" tone. Early on I continued donations through these emails, about four times more to Paul and twice more times to Cruz. My follow up donations to Trump were only by way of his webpage, I never received emails directly solicitating money.
My final decision was to vote Trump.
The Cruz solicitations by email became annoying in nature, especially the tone of them and I was appauled by the conspiracy theory nature of some of the Cruz supporters and their hatred of the majority of the Republican base, some of which was of the fringe element that was at times schizophrenic even from some or something from a bad rerun of the Munsters, as lame and as off issue as Megyn Kelly's first "question" (which was really a statement and not a question, and designed to dislodge the Trump campaign early on and which amounted to the exact tactics of the Hillary campaign) at the opening of the first Republican debate.
So a while back, I decided I no long wanted to receive these solicitations for campaign donations from the Cruz campaign since the Cruz campaign felt like the Crude campaign.
Three times now I selected the "unsubscribe" option at the bottom of the email, as well as the "unsubscribe via email" option.
The solicitations from the Cruz campaign continued anyway. And they continued, and continued. I just got another, so now I am complaining publically. This one said I was added to the email list. I am sick of this. Again I just selected unsubscribe.
I am not unsubscribing to the Paul campaign, he may have some things to say about the annoying nature of Cruzism and crude demeanor. I really have come to dislike this, and I want his relentless solicitations for money to stop.
If Cruz cannot manage these solicitations in a responsible, unannoying way, how can he manage a nation in a responsible and unannoying way? What kind of annoying campaign is he running? In my opinion, his annoying solicitations for money has me concerned if this annoying attitude will demand and continue hounding money from the American people in general if he would ever become President.
I have now seen enough debates, that's enough and I think we have had enough by now and need to move onto a more 21st Century theme of townhalls and the internet events as far as the primary cycle and the base doesn't need another half-dozen debates to make up their minds. Enough is enough, it is really all about money for the cable channels at this juncture who profit off the popularity of Trump and other than that serve no purpose, especially considering the unprofessional self-serving moderation. My mind is made up, and please, quit ringing my doorbell Cruz campaign, you are annoying.
Sorry, but Donald is self-funding his campaign.

Block all emails from the domains from which they come. You put yourself on a sucker list, and while you can’t get off the list (they will likely sell your name and email to other campaigns in the future) you can block the sender so they never reach your inbox. Repeat for each purchaser.
Is that an actual add? With the zooming in and all?
If you have GMAIL, hit the SPAM button rather than unsubscribing.
The Cruz email turned me off to Cruz. I was getting—it seemed—a dozen emails a day.
Well done trick. You caught me.
What’s the Canadian word for Spam.
getting unsolicited requests from politicians doesn’t engender warm, fuzzy feelings toward the senders.
That seems rather childish. Who are you going with now?
No normal human being wants to be President. But Cruz is revealing himself to be a bit too creepy.
Nobody. I just took my ball and went home.
I don’t know, as I have never seen it on TV.
I have seen others say that it was, but I can’t be sure.
Oh, the horrors!
That does it. I’m voting for TRUMP!
I got FOUR solicitations from Cruz yesterday. This is all RNC backstage scamming.
The NRSC, along with it’s house counterpart the NRCC, is corrupt. There is no other way to put it. I’m still waiting for Ted to condemn their current scam of stealing campaign money from Trump supporters, as he takes hundreds of thousands of dollars from them.
Here’s how it works. You see a NRSC prez poll on Facebook and vote for Trump and get on their mail list. Soon you are swamped with email selling Trump gear, stickers, tshirts, you name it. NOT ONE CENT ever goes to the Trump Campaign. This is where it goes:
From open secrets, donations to Cruz: 2. Senate Conservatives Fund $315,991
Here is the FB poll: https://yourvoice.nrsc.org/landing/presidential-poll/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=20160104_nrsc-lb-votetrumprubiocruz_facebook&utm_content=nrsc&utm_term=83920800
This is the National Republican Senatorial Committee and they are CONNING you to hurt the Trump campaign!
They have been doing this for months and it’s cost the Trup campaign likely millions. http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/2015/09/more-gop-fundraising-on-trump-name-now.html
I get almost daily snail mail letters from Cruz...no idea on emails as they are spam mail now....I haven’t chosen a candidate, but I sure don’t like it when someone spends SO MUCH money on solicitations...sheesh. Makes me wonder who is funding it.

Trump does not solicit contributions, but he does accept and appreciate them! Be sure to only give at his official website, there are MANY scammers out there collecting contributions from his supporters and not one cent is ever given to the Trump campaign.

Oh no. Don’t say that.
Bingo! Log into your web email server and set up the block out there. The emails will never download to your client machine, but be trapped out there.
Spam eh!
