because cruz is losing
Cruz is in second place, and won three states that he was polling behind Trump just days before the voting (IA, OK, AK). He isn't in first, but he is in contention. In a 2-man race, I say he would be ahead (and have been saying so for months).
CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS-—Cruz spent over $6 MILLION in Super Tuesday ads including a bundle in TX. He spent MILLIONS in advertising w/ a huge paid staff in South Carolina—a state he had to win.
All for naught.....Cruz/s long-planned strategy flopped....he bombed in SC and Trump kept him under 50% in Texas which meant Trump got some of those bell-ringing Texas delegates.
THE BIG WINNER Trump had only 5 paid staff in South Carolina, and spent less than $2 MILLION on advertising. Trump spent just over $1 MILLION on advertising in Super Tuesday states, and had minimal paid staff.
Trump financed a soap box and won.
Cruz is wringing out his long-suffering donors who say they/re being inundated w/ requests for money.
What does this portend for Cruz/s fiscal responsibility in office?
