Revealed: Ted Cruz Is Crushing Hillary In This Big Indicator Of Electoral Success
Western Journalism ^ | May 22, 2015 | B. Christopher Agee

The Clinton camp is scrambling to catch up.

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is off to a booming start in terms of super PAC fundraising. His campaign’s primary political action committees reportedly took in a combined $31 million in just their first week of existence last month. Compared to his chief Democrat rival, Hillary Clinton, Cruz’s haul is even more impressive.

Projections indicate that, even by the end of next month, Clinton’s Priorities USA Action super PAC will bring in less than half of what Cruz was able to raise in just a week.

In response to the disappointing numbers, Clinton backers have replaced high-level committee officials in an effort to attract new donors. One insider told the Wall Street Journal that some involved in the campaign had “unhappiness with the lack of leadership in the organization.”

Another source confirmed there was a unanimous opinion among staffers that “fundraising needed to be stepped up significantly.”

Meanwhile, Cruz is amassing a war chest his supporters hope will take him through the nomination process and into the general election, at which time he can go head-to-head with Clinton – assuming she fulfills expectations by securing her party’s nomination.

Political analyst Mark Halperin concluded that the Cruz campaign and its “eye-popping” ability to raise money is not only a threat to Clinton, but “instantly raises the stakes in the Republican fundraising contest.”

As multiple scandals continue to take their toll on Clinton’s candidacy and reputation, only time will tell if a few personnel changes at Priorities USA Action will bridge the fundraising gap.

If Cruz keeps raising money, maybe one of the pollsters will include him in their poll.

Correction. I know the Hillary campaign has raised more than the half million I stated. She’s raised millions already but the fact remains it isn’t the huge bounty her campaign expected, and her campaign has troubles ahead.

ARe you smoking crack or something? The only way we win is a bunch of RINO’S? Did you miss the last 2 elections against Obama?

Cruz is capable of winning and will win. He is outpacing everyone on money and the only reason you don’t think he can win is because you support someone else.

I stand with Ted!

In 2012, Super PAC spending between Romney and Obama was 397 million to 249 million.

I’m thinking it isn’t committee officials that need replacing.

Vote for Hillary Clinton

The Federal Siege at Ruby Ridge: In Our Own Words



WACO SIEGE EXPOSED


Bush might have been in office,
but it was Bill and Hillary Clinton's Administration, with Janet Reno and Louis Freeh,
that directed and did the coverup of the investigation into the Ruby Ridge,
the Government MURDER of Weaver's 14 year old son Samuel, and the MURDER of Vicki Weaver,

while she was holding her baby in her arms at the front door of their cabin.

I did not miss the last two elections but a whole lot of so called REPUBLICANS DID BECAUSE THEIR PET CANDIDATE WAS NOT NOMINATED....That is the story of pubbies lately.....nominate my guy or I'll sit home....Obama thanks them every day.

Cruz is great and I like him a lot as Walkers vice-president.....but he will NEVER be nominated.

-——CRUZ/PALIN is the key ! ———

The key to lose...

Seriously, why would Cruz throw an anchor like Palin on his ticket?

I love Palin, but she would drag Cruz down and give the media and dems lots of ammno to discredit Cruz for picking her...

She is damaged goods, the left have done a spectacular job of demonizing her to the point no return...

You’re just plain old nuts!

Bush=Jeb Bush. Not Geo Bush.

Jeb and Hill are very much twins on policy and outlook.

Tell me, why won’t Cruz be nominated? You must have been there in 1976 when people said the same thing about Reagan.

Walker is not the guy for the establishment either...and, Cruz would be better served to stay in the senate than serve in the VP roll.

We shall see, but Ted is VERY much capable of being elected

Jeb on the General Ballot would cause me to vote for whomever I thought had the best chance of DEFEATING that ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN" !

I WILL VOTE AGAINST ... AND TO DESTROY ANY "Establishment Republican" !
Compromisers ALWAYS LOSE !

"Establishment Republicans" lose everytime they're listened to.
They wouldn't care if they DO lose.
If they can't be in power, they don't want US in power.
It's just that simple.
It's WAR!

We will never unify under "Establishment Republicans" .
"Establishment Republicans" have more in common with the Democrats, than they do with Conservatives.
The weak candidates are "Establishment Republicans", weak on national security, amnesty for illegals, abortion, and government spending.
"Establishment Republicans" scream "COMPROMISE".
And people who study the Bible know that COMPROMISE almost always leads to destruction.
Someone once said [We're] 'Not victims of "the Establishment." '
I disagree.
I ask you again: It WAS Mitt Romney, leader of the "Establishment Republicans"
and it WAS the "Establishment Republicans" who funded all those negative ads against Conservatives.

So conservatives, the BASE of the Republican Party, WERE ' victims of "the Establishment." '

These "Establishment Republicans" are being weeded out, one by one, and slowly but surely, the TEA Party is taking over.

"Establishment Republicans" Want to Redefine the Term "Conservative"
DO CONSERVATIVES "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" WANT TO WIN IN 2016 OR NOT?

Jack Kerwick wrote an article on May 24, 2011 titled The Tea Partier versus The Republican and he expressed some important issues that I agree with.


I'm fresh out of "patience", and I'm not in the mood for "compromise".
"COMPROMISE" to me is a dirty word.
Let the RINO's compromise their values, with the conservatives, for a change.
Take a good long look at where "Establishment Republicans" ALWAYS take us.



The "Establishment Republicans" can GO TO HELL !
