Mitch McConnell foes helping back Ted Cruz behind the scenes
CNN Politics ^ | December 11, 2015 | Theodore Schleifer

A pair of leading GOP operatives who have tried to oust Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are quietly helping Ted Cruz's presidential campaign behind the scenes, strengthening Cruz's ties to the most rebellious parts of Washington.

Leaders behind the Senate Conservatives Fund and the Madison Project, two of the main rabble-rousing outside groups that have been a thorn in the side of Senate leadership, are also helping organize donors and turn out voters for Cruz, group officials tell CNN. Cruz, who himself has been a McConnell nemesis in the past, has controversially raised money for the two groups, which backs primary challengers against incumbents like McConnell.

Matt Hoskins, the co-founder of the Senate Conservatives Fund, is fundraising for a pro-Cruz PAC, Make DC Listen, the Cruz group confirmed. Make DC Listen bundles hard-dollar contributions for the Cruz campaign much like Hoskins' group does, accepting donations up to $5,000...

I think Levin has been for Cruz all along. He tries to deceive his listeners by pretending to be unbiased. BS! He is playing mommy with Cruz against Rubio. Isn’t Cruz man enough to fight his own battles? If not, then he has no business running fro the presidency. He never mentions Trump without adding Cruz to the mix. It’s sickening! He doesn’t want people to think he supports Trump, so he is trying to play coy - well, I for one, an mot deceived by his words.

Good God, you post this over and over again. This is Levin’s opinion, and it means nothing to me, except for a biased review of who he wants to win. Nothing more - nothing less. So what if he screams at people? Talk radio is considered entertainment - it’s all for ratings.

Yes, it does now make more sense than it did before.
Not that that stupid chart ever did mean a damned thing anyway.

It means LESS than NOTHING; especially since it is untrue.

Yes, I know Mark’s screen name. I’ve known that for years.

I didn’t realize we have to ping him to every FR post he’s mentioned in. Lol.

Got it.

Mr. Rove, you are just a peach.

Does Jeb pay you, or do you now work for Sen. Rubio?

LOL...I think we know who Rove is ‘paying’.

Did you happen to know that Robert Mercer is also a big Crossroads (your boy Rove) donor? Sure, I’m sure you did.

EXCELLENT!!

I might offer a humble suggestion, which would be to change that yellow dot to a red dot for Jebuardo under ‘Education’, since he is a supporter of that Common Core garbage?

Otherwise, this will be a great tool for getting the word out about who is *BEST* for America!

NICE job!!

Thanks....but it’s not my design.

I agree about the Jebero ‘poll/rating/score’ (whatever they’re calling it, today). Just proves what a sham the CR rating is.
