I saw a statistic that showed Cruz paid $12/vote, and Trump may have paid $20. All the other establishment candidates paid numerous times more.

I’ve read the Cruz number doesn’t include the pro-Cruz SuperPACs. I’d like to see the numbers with the PAC’s spending for each candidate included. Estimates, anyway....

I saw a statistic that candidates had spent $hundreds per vote, and one, Jeb (I think), over $1,000. They would have been a lot smarter to just pay a couple of hundred to voters.

Meanwhile, I am off to buy more popcorn.
