Didn’t Cruz take money from Club for Growth as well?
My concern about Cruz is that he needs money from somewhere to run. He’s the most legit conservative in the race, but the GOPe wouldn’t fund him and he’d die on the vine in the general.
It cost about a Billion dollars for each candidate to run in 2012. If you think Trump is going to fund his campaign out of his own pocket, I can probably tell you why you aren't rich.
Cruz has plenty of donors and I am one of them. He has plenty of money to take him through the primary and general election right now - much more money than any other candidate. Trump has money of his own, but he is not going to spend billions of that money. He thinks being on TV will win it for him. It does not. It takes county by county work to win and Cruz has that in place in every state and US possession now. I do not know who will win, but it will not be lack of money or organization for Cruz that causes him not to win. I think he will win.
So what if he did? Aside for the horrible misstep of including Bush in their bundling program, Club for Growth is the most effective RINO-hunting outfit out there. They were formed to attack people like George Voinovich, Olympia Snowe, Joe Schwarz, Arlen Specter, Lindsey Graham and Thad Cochran. They’re literally the original anti-RINO group.
