Ted Cruz trounces Marco Rubio in third quarter fundraising

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz's presidential campaign raised $12.2 million in the third quarter of this year, eclipsing the roughly $6 million that his GOP rival Sen. Marco Rubio brought in, campaign officials confirmed to CBS News.

Rubio only managed to raise about half of the $12 million he raised in the second quarter. However, the Florida senator entered the month of October with about $11 million in cash on hand. Cruz's campaign did not reveal how much they had on hand.

Rubio campaign officials said July and August were tough months for donations. Rubio's fundraising pales in comparison to Cruz's and that of Ben Carson, who brought in around $20 million for the third quarter.

Go away Jeb and take your Mini Me Rubio with you

[Lurkinanloomin]

I’m actually kind of surprised by this. I would have thought that more money would come Rubio’s way as ¡Yeb! craters. The Cheap Labor Express must be counting on Carson now.

[MNJohnnie]

Still pimping your lies about Carson I see.

Here are the facts.

So when can we expect you to stop lying?

[Lurkinanloomin]

I’ve heard him say that entire industries are reliant on imported labor and we can’t do without it. That is a lie.

There are 93 million people out of the workforce.

[MNJohnnie]

Sorry since you are proven to be a liar, doubling down on your lies only makes you look absurd.

[Lurkinanloomin]

link doesn’t work.
He has said he is against deportation which means he’s against the rule of law.

[MNJohnnie]

Read the links rather then continuing to lie.

[Lurkinanloomin]

From your link:

“Some segments of our economy would virtually collapse without these undocumented workers—we all know that—yet we continue to harass and deport many individuals who are simply seeking a better life for themselves and their families”

[Lurkinanloomin]

I read the link, here is what it says, in part:

“Some segments of our economy would virtually collapse without these undocumented workers—we all know that—yet we continue to harass and deport many individuals who are simply seeking a better life for themselves and their families”

That what is a lie.

[MNJohnnie]

The facts have been presented. You ignored them to repeat a lie. You are a liar. If you don’t like that fact being pointed out, quit lying.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Again, from Carson:

“Some segments of our economy would virtually collapse without these undocumented workers—we all know that—yet we continue to harass and deport many individuals who are simply seeking a better life for themselves and their families”

Do you have a reading comprehension problem?

Ted is doing great

Is it moral for us, for example, to take advantage of cheap labor from illegal immigrants while denying them citizenship? I'm sure you can tell from the way I phrased the question that I believe we have taken the moral low road on this issue. Some segments of our economy would virtually collapse without these undocumented workers--we all know that--yet we continue to harass and deport many individuals who are simply seeking a better life for themselves and their families. Is there a way to apply logic to this issue and arrive at an intelligent solution?

All we have to do is look to our northern neighbor, Canada. They have a guest worker program, which allows people to enter the country as officially recognized guest workers who pay taxes, receive benefits, and are able to come and go as they please without infringing on anyone else's rights.

So far, you’re losing this round, Johnnie.

Hells bells, he isn’t lying he is giving you quotes for crying out loud & clear. Like Chapter and Verse.

[SharpRightTurn]

jimbo—do you have any inside info on Cruz’s burn rate?

[RitaOK]

Trump is really doing great. Spent only 2 million, and raised squat.

Money isn’t winning this cart race. Talent at fighting is.

[CharleysPride]

“Money isn’t winning this cart race.”

Thank you, the two boys could spend their collective $18M on buying tamales for all their friends in DC for all the good it’s going to help them against Trump.

•Cruz is expanding his own small donor machine.

The senator from Texas has collected 362,300 contributions through the end of September,
and 6,000 donors have signed on to give him money every month. Those “sustainers” provide
enough revenue to cover all expenses every month for now for Cruz’s entire field operation
across the country, the campaign said. Cruz also launched a social crowd-funding platform this
month that encourages donors to bundle small contributions online.
