"will convene at The Broadmoor, the five-star resort owned by the conservative billionaire Philip Anschutz."

Google the Broadmoor and Mr Anschutz, I wonder if Mr Anschutz was a Reaganite, I haven't found it. So I ask this a meeting of many that are Reaganites of the big $ variety? The fact he is doing this and attracting this crowd if you will speaks volumes of who ( and why ) they are metaphorically invested in Senator Cruz via their support and belief in his ideology. I think he is on greater footing than we know, or the Enema-Media will ever admit...

The Broadmoor host a lot of military functions. I went with my husband to the yearly Cyber symposium and the Space symposiums many times. They gave military/DOD special rates. They're very pro military. Colorado Springs was a very conservative city (home of Focus on the Family, The Navigators, the Air Force Academy, NORAD) but that has been changing. Liberals moving in.
