Yes, I believe Cruz is worried that if he says the wrong thing, the money spigot that is funding his campaign will be turned off. Our elected officials are pretty much owned and controlled by their donors. I don't really know what the answer is because we can't rely solely upon independently wealthy people like Donald Trump from this point forward.

Every time somebody proposes shutting down the PACs, people holler about free speech. Yet PACS easily circumvent the maximum contributions we are allowed to make directly to a specific candidate and they then own and control our elected officials. So we are in a quandary.

Sam, good description of the dilemma.

I just hope a good man like Cruz doesn’t get dragged down by this structure.

I would love for Trump to throw Cruz a VP lifeline, but it is too soon for that.

I think a Trump/Cruz combination would be the best thing for America and the worst thing for Democrats, our biggest domestic enemy.
