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...

Yes. I know. I haven’t listened to Levin for years. He is on at a bad hour for us and I never hear him.

I have seen a lot of firsts on FR in the last week or two. Some I would have never imagined.

And how!! I’ve never seen so many attacks on true, consistent, tested, proven constitutional conservatives and constitutional conservative organizations such as Mark Levin, Ted Cruz and the Senate Conservatives Fund...by so-called FReepers. It’s like there’s been an outbreak of Constitutional Conservative Derangement (CCD).
