As I heard Ted Cruz say at a recent event, words were about not spending tons of money flying around on private jets to events...that he preferred a $200 ticket on one painted blue and the name “Southwest” on the side.

Money still matters. Obama and the liberals ditched the federal campaign finance system as soon as it made financial sense while opening their credit card system to take foreign donations. All their earlier talk about principles went into the toilet, and their voters didn’t care. The money they collected helped a lot.

Donald Trump can self-finance, but even he might need help after the nomination.

I was hoping you would answer some of those since I’m a primary newcomer :) Never really paid attention before this one. I’m 47 so better late than never.

Why have many Trump supporters moved recently. I believe you, just wondering why.

He has a HUGE blue collar following. Are they less apt to vote? is that the reason his voters are statistically less dependable?

In my personal experience, blue collar conservatives are more apt to vote as we genius college grads know the system is rigged and no one can make a difference /s (i think)
