Ted Cruz’s $51 Million Haul: TEA Party Favorite Has Big Bucks Behind Him …

FITS News ^ | July 5, 2015 | Will Folks

In a little more than three months, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz‘s presidential campaign has raised more than $14.2 million from over 175,000 contributors. Combined with the $37 million raised by a political action committee backing Cruz, the Texas lawmaker’s presidential aspirations will be supported by a $51 million war chest.

“The grassroots energy and support we are seeing is overwhelming,” Cruz said in a statement. “In Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina – and all across the country – we are seeing courageous conservatives coming together for real change. We’re reassembling the (Ronald) Reagan coalition – from conservatives to libertarians to people of Faith – and with the help of so many supporters, we will be able to deliver our optimistic message all across the country.”

This website wrote back in January of Cruz’s path to victory in early-voting South Carolina – and these fundraising numbers will go a long way in making sure he gets his message out here and in other early-voting states.

In fact Cruz’s impressive haul guarantees he’ll be one of the top tier GOP candidates through Super Tuesday (March 1, 2016), when twelve states hold “Republican” primary or caucus elections.

Our thoughts on Cruz at this stage of the race? As we noted in our post assessing his chances there’s a lot to like about the guy … although there are certainly things to dislike, too. So far, he remains one of the few GOP candidates we’d consider getting behind … in spite of his occasional missteps.

[American Constitutionalist]

Well, well, well, what do we have here ?

A month ago we heard 24/7 from the Cruz haters propagandists that Ted Cruz was toast, that he lost a lot of his cord supporters,so on and so on , ya da ya da ya da.

Looks like the Ted Cruz haters propagandists agenda didn’t work, but rather failed dramatically.

We even got Cruz haters here lying about Ted Cruz being a copycat using other people’s speeches.

I told them to prove it here, since the burden of proof is on those who trow out accusations.

Ted Cruz is first and foremost is a born again believer and a child of God.

Anyone attacking him or lying about him is attacking one of God’s own.

If God has a ordained purpose for Ted Cruz then nothing cN stop God’s will or purpose even if it’s other Christians attacking Ted Cruz or lying about him.

Heh, thanks...

Not hard to find things to dislike but hard to find anything else. Must have taken some effort, so thanks. I thank you for taking the time to get those links....

[2ndDivisionVet]

I think this site is based in South Carolina, since he talks about it quite a bit, if that helps.

[Deagle]

Thanks again. He is my favorite candidate!

[MN_Mike]

What missteps? The only one I can think of is his vote on TPA.

That poster is awesome! Best pic of Cruz I’ve seen.

[Din Maker]

Trump is clearing the way for Ted.

Country Music is not your favorite genre anymore? Well, I’ll pray that you break out of this backslidden condition soon and return to your first love.

[Kickass Conservative]

I sent him what I could afford. Actually, what my Wife told me we could afford. LOL

I promised some Moron on a Yahoo Comments section that if Obama ever sent me that $2,500 that he promised us due to Obamacare, it would go straight to the Ted Cruz Campaign.

Anyone else here want to join me in that Promise? LOL
I’m sure we’ll get that Cash the moment Hell freezes over.

[2ndDivisionVet]

By that I mean the modern (pop) version of country. I still listen to the pre-1980 or so songs all the time.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I’m not on Obamacare, I’ve “evolved” right into single-payer.

[Kickass Conservative]

Okay, here’s the deal. If I ever get the money from Obama, half goes to Ted and half goes to you. Deal?

Have a good night my Friend. I have to get to Bed. I hope things are going well with you. Take good care and God Bless.

Remember, you are Thread Master here.
You have an awesome responsibility.

Oh yeah... Classic Country is the only Country I listen to. Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Ray Price, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Willie Nelson, Hank Jr., Tammy Wynette..............

“If God has an ordained purpose for Ted Cruz then nothing can stop God’s will or purpose even if it’s other Christians attacking Ted Cruz or lying about him.”

Agreed. I just hope that God doesn’t give the U.S.A. what it wants like He did with Israel and giving them kings (that turned out to be a bad idea.)

“Okay - you wanted abortion, gay marriage, a muslim president? And now you want Hillary? Reap what you sow you evil people. Maybe some day it will get so bad that you will turn from your evil ways.”
