Sen. Ted Cruz's presidential campaign raised $772,000 through midnight following his debate performance Wednesday evening in Boulder, Colorado.

"We're continuing to have a strong day on fundraising," a top Cruz aide who confirmed the fundraising haul said on Thursday.

Cruz earned the most-talked-about moment on Facebook and Twitter with a verbal assault on the CNBC moderators, saying their questions illustrate why Americans don't trust the media.

"This is not a cage match. And, you look at the questions: 'Donald Trump, are you a comic-book villain?,' 'Ben Carson, can you do math?,' 'John Kasich, will you insult two people over here?,' 'Marco Rubio, why don't you resign?,' 'Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen?'" Cruz said, sparking applause from the audience and also annoying the moderators. "How about talking about the substantive issues people care about?"

The fundraising number comes the same day that the Cruz campaign announced it had 77,190 volunteers across the country supporting the Texas senator's candidacy....
