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...

This won’t help Cruz if true. He doesn’t need or want help from McConnell or any of McConnell’s allies!

This is a divide and conquer tactic that will fail!

lolol I am surprised they even rated Trump. Only reason he scored was copying Cruz positions. Who knows, 2020 he might run democrat. Trump has more position changes in the last ten years than Carter has liver pills. Dollar to a donut trump and bush are only gop candidates gave money to the hiliary foundation. As hubby says, he is campaigning he will say anything.

Isara, thanks for all you do, and for continuing to delineate the differences between the Constitutional conservative in the race and the rest of the pack.

Yeah, some folks are actively against that true conservative and would like to shut down his support-—crazy, huh?

Why, even Mark Levin is on the crap list... a Trump supporter recently referred to him as an idiot, a stupid chimpanzee, and a knuckle-dragging buffoon, LOL.

But I know you’re aware that Cruz supporters aren’t always the loudest in the bunch, and there are many of them here who don’t get into the back-and forth. I’m sure they appreciate what you do...I know I do.

Then there are the lurkers. You’re educating them, too. And they’re forming opinions about lots of things by watching what goes on here.
