Ted Cruz raised $12.2 million in the past three months for his Republican presidential bid, about twice what competitor Marco Rubio collected in the same time period.
The new numbers are being circulated by the campaigns ahead of a deadline next week to report fundraising to federal regulators. The quarterly figures mark a practical and symbolic measure of strength for all presidential candidates, but they don't tell the whole story.
Cruz and Rubio both topped Rand Paul, whose presidential campaign said it had pulled in $2.5 million through the end of September....

One thing for sure Rand Paul needs to throw in the towel.
But, but, but, but , Waaaaaaa Ted Cruz is running low in cash, Ted Cruz is polling low in the polls, Ted Cruz compromised with the Pacific Trade Bill, Iran Bill..... sarcastic spasm
I ignore those people. Cruz is in the running until the primary is done.
Cruz the senator is a china shop’s nightmare.
Cruz the campaigner is still lost in the fog.
You guys still get free Pizza Uno and Zima?
Go, Cruz, GO!!
What does that mean?
I believe R. Lee Ermey has officially endorsed Ted Cruz.
Wait a minute here, we are constantly being told with propaganda by the anti Ted Cruz naysayers that he doesn’t have support, that he is not gaining steam, he’s not catching on, that he is not going anywhere, but yet ?
He tops all of other candidates ( almost combined ) in soft money contributions and has beat out Jeb Bush in the last cycle of fund raising.
Sounds like there is a hidden movement of support for Ted Cruz that the media, and the lying propagandist here on Free Republic are not telling us here.
To the liars and propagandist here on FR against Ted Cruz.
Your lies are damnable lies.
Son and I finally watched "Full Metal Jacket"; just damn, he sure played a mean SOB drill sergeant.
Money =/= votes.
All the gold out there means nothing if he doesn’t start connecting with voters.
I’m still stuned that Jeb! still has 5-6%.
anyone have numbers for the superpac that supports Cruz?
Did it raise some serious money also?
Guess what ?
The votes don’t start for another 12 weeks.
Don’t know what votes your talking about.
The Trumpathon is a giant smoke screen, to get the people to get emotional.
The real votes that do matter happen in 12 weeks or so.
You’re right. Great post.
We used to have an saying: “The only polls that matter in the year preceding an election are the FEC statements.”
Doesn’t hold up with a self-financed candidate, though. PACs muddy the waters as well.
I follow Animal Mother (Adam Baldwin) on twitter. He’s also a conservative.

I don't know the future of the race, but Ted has my support as long as he is in the race. And as long as he remains in the race I have renewed hope that God may yet deliver the nation from this current darkness.
