Rachel Maddow shows the paperwork that indicates Keep The Promise, a Ted Cruz-aligned superPAC, donated $500,000 to Carly For America, a Carly Fiorina-aligned superPAC, but what remains unclear is why.

It just dawned on me that Ted Cruz may have his own Bimbo Eruption Unit at work right now.
That will be veddy interesting!
It’s never just about sex, is it? Usually it leads to other shady things.
well here’s what is also interesting: there are several “KTP” PACs. The formatting doesn’t transfer so you can see their income and expenditures here:

We all remember Lyin’ Ted going on about not taking big money and all? Well:
Keep the Promise I - $11,000,000 from Robert Mercer, co-CEO of Renaissance Technologies, a hedge fund.
Keep the Promise II - $10,000,000 from Toby Neugebauer, co-founder of Quantum Energy Partners, a Houston private equity firm.
Keep the Promise III - $15,000,000 from the Wilks family: $5,000,000 each from Farris and Jo Ann Wilks, and $2,500,000 each from Daniel and Staci Wilks. Farris and Daniel Wilks are brothers, based in Texas, who founded Frac Tech, and sold the firm in May 2011 for $3.5 billion according to Forbes.
So I guess one of the #10 million PACs didn’t mind having $500K shuttled over to Carly. But it would be interesting if Trump challenged Cruz publicly to answer this question. I suspect his “small money” donors would be suprised.
We are wind surfing the dunes baby!
I watched the video. They did not give Maddow a plausible explanation. If donor’s money was used to keep someone silent; I would guess that a crime was most likely committed the people running one or both Superpacs. How could such an arrangement have been reached without some type of coordination between the candidates and the Superpacs which would also be illegal. We have entered some really strange territory here. Do-do—do-do—do-do—do-do.
all the campaign told Maddow is that some of their donors also liked Carly. Pretty weak.
KTP 1:
President Kellyanne Conway
President of The Polling Company/WomanTrend since 1995. Practiced law but describes herself as “a fully-recovered attorney.” J.D. from The George Washington University Law School; B.A. in political science from Trinity College in Washington, DC. twitter
She’’s a nasty piece of work based on my impressions when she’s on the cable news shows. All pollsters are IMHO liars and manipulators.
Do you have any evidence other than just wanting to believe the worst? Even the Enquirer is only reporting this a rumor to keep from being sued. This story is being reported from them quite differently than previous political scandals.
Well that answer doesn’t fly because they could donate directly to the Carly Pac and donate to the Cruz Pac so that answer doesn’t make any sense. Of course with that answer, the donors names are withheld or not given because it’s a “disbursement” Very shady indeed.
If it is to be a payoff...how does that work? Does the Carly pac then cut a check to Miss X to her bank account? Weird...And Carly, has she given an explanation as to whey the Cruz campaign showered her with cash?
Sarah Isgur Flores. Snarly’s DC area campaign manager.
LOL!
Give it hell!
How is Cruz supposed to answer a question about what a Super PAC did?
He can’t. They own him.
Good questions. This was posted on twitter again and I thought maybe FReepers would have some thoughts. It may be unrelated to the present scandal but it didn’t take long for people to remember that it was never addressed.
These campaigns are pretty slimy affairs (pun intended)
The simplest and most logical answer is that Money from a Cruz PAC was being used to buy Fiorina's endorsement.
However, that may only be the cover for the real reason.
Scratch a liar .... catch a thief.
Buying Fiorina’s support is like buying Linda Graham’s support.
Ppphhhttt!
cruz pac donates to carly fiorina back in 2015 site:freerepublic.com

The endorsement answer makes sense if the disbursement was done in say Feb or March...but it was done last August when he didn’t need her endorsement and she didnt need her bills paid off. (yet)
