First on CNN: Ted Cruz summons top fundraisers to Vegas
CNN ^ | 3/18/16 | Theodore Schleifer

Posted on 03/19/2016 2:33:39 PM PDT by jimbo123

Ted Cruz is summoning his top fundraisers to an exclusive retreat in Las Vegas next month.

The Texas senator's aides on Friday called their top bundlers to gather between April 8 and 10, according to an invitation obtained by CNN. The candidate and his wife, Heidi, will be on hand.

The retreat for national finance committee members comes at a time when Cruz's fundraising team is taking on more moneymen in order to wage a long, expensive national campaign, in order to prevent Republican front-runner Donald Trump from locking up the delegates needed to win the nomination.

Current fundraisers must collect $100,000 this quarter to attend, but people new to Cruz's team only need $50,000, according to the invitation.

Until he decided to support the muzzie Barry and his America destroying ‘obamatrade’ thing I did! Then it was one damn thing after another we all learned about Cruz as the months rolled on. It is no secret to anyone now that the Globalist string pullers at the NWO/Goldman Sachs/CFR/GOPe cabal control their bought and payed for stooge, Ted Cruz. The Bushs, Romney and Beck in his Camp? Good God.

It will hilarious if no one shows up to his fundraiser. They all know he’s finished so they’ll save their money for the gopE’s third party guy or Hillary.

“Politician for sale.”

Exactly. Ted is putting out a big I’M FOR SALE sign.
Come to Las Vegas with your cash and what you want for it in return. Another indication of Ted selling out to the big donors.

Summoning? Don’t you just love the turn of the phrase?

Kings summon. 0bama summons.

They always spin it as though the R candidates appear imperial.

I’m Trump fan but this is b.s.

“The GOP elite will donate to him, use him to get a brokered convention, and then stick their man Romney in.”

They’ll put Cruz in as VP as a synthetic conservative sweetener on the poison pill.

Are Trumptards upset that if Drumpf wasn’t running that he might be at this Cruz donor event?

Oh wait, he would be at Hillery’s donor event instead. /sarc

It’s getting clearer and clearer that Cruz isn’t in this any more for the good of the country.

I’m pretty sure he’s hanging on now out of sheer spite.

His supporters too; they don’t support him any more. They just loathe Trump so much that they’ll burn the country down to deny him the nomination.

At least that’s what it’s turning into.

When Cruz is mathematically denied the nomination, I wonder what will happen then.

” I still can’t believe how damn stupid I was to once support this fraud. “
*****

I think we’ve all been there. “Fraud”. That’s the word, right there.

I was a supporter in the beginning too. A few things made me pull back and take a very deep look at him.

Never held a private sector job, graduated from Harvard, constitutional scholar, lawyer, junior senator, foreign born, hides his real name, hid his nationality during his senate run, and immediately began seeking the office of president once elected.

Checking my calendar and I’m scheduled to attend another event at that time. Cruz isn’t listed as a speaker.

“Ted and Heidi-—OMG-—another two-fer?

Just what America needs-—a coupla warmed-over Clintons.”

Well, Goldman Sachs has long referred to the White House as their “”D.C. Office “” so justice is served : )

Nice try. Nobody here believes that you “once supported Cruz”.

I supported Ted Cruz long before Trump entered the race, but Cruz' behavior, lies and deception and his proclivity to associate himself with the likes of Glenn Beck convinced me that he is not at all fit for the office of President, in fact his lies to the voters of Texas when he was first elected Senator in 2012, i.e., not disclosing that he was in fact a *Canadian* citizen, makes it questionable that he is even fit to hold THAT office!

Of course Cruz would have you believe that "he didn't know" he was Canadian until 2014, just before he started laying the groundwork for his presidential run.

Even if Cruz manages a win in Utah with the help of those Soros operated online voting machines, his nomination chances are still *ZIP* - MEANWHILE ...

If Cruz makes it to the White House, will the Mormon Temple supplant the National Cathedral as the preferred presidential place of worship? After all, with Beck and Romney backing him up, they probably expect SOME sort of reciprocation!

ALL HAIL KING CRUZ, FULFILLMENT of MORMON PROPHECY!
