So all that Team Hillary "we'll raise two and a half billion dollars" talk was blowing smoke? Folks, right now, just the top individual bundler in my class (Federalists, the lowest of the ranks) has raised $544,936.04 since March 23rd, and that's just in Texas. The SuperPACs are a whole different deal and not officially part of the campaign, IIRC.

They just have to figure out how to move the money out of the Foundation & into her campaign. A few months & the current controversy will be put to bed. Then they’ll do it.

Ted Cruz has definitely tapped into something that is seething just below the surface all through the territory once known as “the United States of America”, and it may have a great deal to do with a resurgence of that formerly great nation.

Maybe armed insurgency will not be necessary to take back our country. But a couple of tripwires are very close to activation.

Of course, George “Satan” Soros will just dash off a check for an even billion to Hill!

Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Why do sites that have comments insist upon loading scripts from a bunch of 3rd party sites? Some of us use a javascript blocker, and I for one get sick and tired of having to figure out which sites to allow, and which can remain blocked, just to view the only thing I really care about, which are the comments to an article. Westernjournalism isn't as bad as most, but it is still inexcusable.

Cruz is great, I like him, he will not be the Republican nominee....the only way the Pubbies will win is with either Walker, Bush.......and wait for this one.......in a convention battle.......Romney.

That’s like saying a major league baseball player can beat a T-ball kid.

I think she was planning on using the “Crime Family Funds”; because nobody would know .. RIGHT ..???

I’m not surprised Ted is winning all over the place. He just won a huge straw poll and then got a standing “O” in GA.

Anybody who does not take him seriously .. does so at their own peril.

Today, I heard a snarky remark from another candidate - but sadly I missed who it was. Something about foreign policy cannot be learned from committee briefs (which is what is prepared after a committee hearting - and all the members get a copy). This information is probably all Ted needs to be brought up to speed about what took place in the hearings.

Remember, as Solicitor General, I believe Ted supervised approx. 700 State of TX attorneys. That would probably require him to know what all their cases were; and to be advising or assisting them in their cases.

But, the comment came from the fact that as a “Presidential Candidate”, Cruz is gone a lot of the time - and I wouldn’t put it past the others on that committee to purposely hold hearings when they know he will be away.

AND .. this little dust-up is an EXAMPLE of my idea that the GOPe has purposely encouraged (or helped) more than a couple of the “extra” candidates in the group - FOR ONE PURPOSE ONLY - TO TAKE OUT TED CRUZ.

I’m sure they feel that if the group is LARGE ENOUGH .. the more it will dilute the numbers, and they will be able to get rid of Ted as a candidate. And .. it will spread the money thinner - denying Cruz a larger share of donations.

Just watch the comments the newby people are saying .. especially, Gramnesty, and Huckabee, and/or Jeb.

To ‘H’ with Clinton. I think the message here is Cruz cleaning the clocks of the other Republicans, and that should continue to be his focus. After all it’s the nomination that’s the goal now. Democrats, and the Clintons are down the road yet.

2nd Div vet ? Even though they could be just blowing smoke, the Beyatch Hillary should never be underestimated.

If Hillary was a sure thing to be president her campaign war chest should be overflowing but it looks like the big Democrat donors are taking a wait and see approach on her. Maybe they sense what we think and the kook, lefty base doesn’t want to admit to, and that is Hillary is in real trouble. She should have fifteen to twenty million in the bank already, and not the paltry half million she’s garnered so far. Maybe I’m being overly optimistic but I sense, with each week gone by since her announcement for president, that a vast majority of Americans don’t want her as our next chief executive.

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

The more Cruz speaks, the more fans he will get. Thanks for the posts.

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

I saw my first “FOUR DIED, HILLARY LIED” Benghazi bumpersticker yesterday and I was so happy.
