A super PAC supporting former tech executive Carly Fiorina's run reported raising $3.5 million -- with a half-million dollar lift from a super PAC supporting GOP presidential rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.).

The pro-Cruz PAC, Keep the Promise I, reported the disbursement Friday in a document filed with the Federal Election Commission. That is...unusual, to say the least.

Cruz has four allied super PACs, all named some variation of “Keep the Promise.” Together they raised an estimated $38 million...

That’s how it should be....pay directly to the PAC’s, and never the GOP.

Wait on it...I’m still thinking?

I think you guys with the possible VP choice are correct.

I didn’t see it at first, but potentially, it’s the Silicon Valley money that Cruz is aiming at. Cruz is big on tech.

Don’t see it, but maybe he wants to put California in play.

(P.S.- Mod, I didn’t list this thread as “front page” news.)

No, RINO infiltration into Cruz PACs. They raise money from conservatives and fund their RINO.

Nice scam.

That’s not what was said. He said he gave directly to the candidate and not to PACs or the GOP.

CA in play...not one I thought about. Are you talking in the generals or in the primaries?

Possibly helping Carly now will help him secure the votes out West. Is that what you are thinking?

Could be because Cruz is a One Team-One Fight person.
Fiorina is not the enemy.

Since Hillary will most likely be the democrat candidate, republicans want to have at least one female candidate in the running or as a possible VP pick (besides Lindsey Graham).

Maybe but maybe not. Cruz is way smart and recognized that Fiorina is as well and she is now than willing and capable of attacking Hillary.

Better for VP, SOS good too, or head of labor dept with the mandate to dismantle it.

She’s very effective and keeping her alive as a candidate only helps the general cause of defeating the Democrats.

“It is illegal for him to have any control over the spending done by pacs.”

Only Democrats are allowed to do things like that
