Can't vote for a conservative if nobody does what it takes to get one on the slate and fund him. I'm willing to bet that even on FR, 80% of those who say they support Cruz haven't donated a dime to his campaign.
It’s also interesting that Trump seems to be characterized by more of a communitarian spirit than Cruz. That’s a major key to getting support, getting people to accept and believe that they are part of the game instead of virtually powerless spectators.
Communitarian is kept from dissolving into socialist by a God view. Trump pushes no distinct theology, but in some ways acts as though he does have a God view, and is very sanguine to the idea of a free Christian community.
For the very first time in my life, I donated to a presidential campaign last week. Yup. Go Cruz!
Cruz isn’t lacking for money. People usually have to voice support of someone before they send them cash to begin with. Cart before horse and all that.
