The ease with which super PACs can raise money—no contribution limits, no spending limits—means groups like Keep the Promise have resources that campaigns may not. In the case of Keep the Promise, that’s thanks to a handful of billionaire families who decided Cruz was their guy. One Keep the Promise backer, Robert Mercer, is a hedge fund billionaire who keeps a very low profile and has drawn criticism for tax-dodging.

Fat cats donate millions, pay hundreds of disinterested pukes to knock on doors of empty homes... for an ineligible candidate. Nice.

He added that Keep the Promise is the only super PAC he knows of that has any sort of ground game in the state. Paul Lindsay, a representative for Right to Rise, said his PAC also has a professional canvassing operation that recently moved down from New Hampshire to South Carolina

So Ted Cruz lost the very conservative and evangelical vote to Trump in New Hampshire, and this same operation that didn't work in New Hampshire will move to South Carolina?

What's the definition of insanity again?

I like Cruz because he sees the Lib and RINO plan to destroy this country. Do I expect them to like him? NO.

Right to Rise is Jeb’s PAC. English not your first language?

Even worse! Jeb's PACs are better funded than Cruz's and still lost miserably.

Good thing none of these people will want anything from the Federal Government after Ted is elected. They all look as of they are all surporting Ted for the good of the country. We need a consistent Conservative who will take on the Washington Cartel and slash the size of the Federal government.

Of course, all these billionaires supporting Cruz wouldn’t dream of wanting anything in return.

Paying people to go around knocking on doors. How do they know that these people actually do anything but turn in a time slip? Essentially, they are mercenaries, with no loyalty to Cruz or anyone else, just in it for the money.

My bet is that new Billionaire funded band of merry mercenaries will soak the billionaires for a bundle, and Cruz will see little benefit.

Yet more proof that Trump supporters are every bit as psychotic as Trump himself.

Weak minded people can be swayed by door knockers to vote for someone. Others just get pissed off having their dinner interrupted and vote for another candidate.

Perhaps Ted is smarter than Jeb and his PAC people are also?

What has a Jeb Bush PAC got to do with Ted Cruz?

Has anyone noticed how easy it is to vote more than once for the Drudge online GOP candidate poll?

Your hero Ted Cruz hired a Sleazy Sleazy Campaign Manger by the name of Jeff Roe. Did you know that Jeff Roe faced charges for matriculating with at least three unwilling co-eds when he was in college? The Office of Records knew, the Dean Knew and even the Professors knew, but still Jeff Roe was there. What about the uncertain future for those poor co-eds?

Does Ted Cruz exercise such precise judgement that he hires a known matriculator as campaign manager? Would you let your daughter around such a person. Does Ted Cruz have no Shame? When will Ted Cruz come clean on the Charges?!

There is only one poll that counts...

I think this consistent conservative is very soon going to hope he doesn’t win the election. Our economy is going to crash, big with a capital C very soon, and the country is going to be in for several years of real hell.

Senator Cruz won’t have a clue as to what to do about it.

True that.

If the Drudge poll is a fabrication, what else besides Trump, is a fabrication?
