The most prominent "super PAC" supporting Ted Cruz said on Monday that it was placing a $573,000 ad buy in Nevada and boosting its field operations in the state.
The move by the group, Keep the Promise I, comes a week before the Nevada caucuses on the Republican side -- a key test for Mr. Cruz and his allies, who are hoping to capitalize on Donald J. Trump's perceived weakness in ground organization.
A spokeswoman said the group had 13 paid staff members and about 75 canvassers in the state.
While Mr. Trump has significant holdings and impeccable name recognition in Nevada, his loss in Iowa, another caucus state, has left questions about his capacity to efficiently turn out voters in states where organization matters more than advertising....

Oil money, or more Goldman Sachs cash?
Think that will do any good?
Sheldon Adelson: “Unfortunate I served in US military.”
Is this the Midge McConnell attorney led PAC? Or the Glenn Beck BFF Barton led PAC? I can’t keep up with all of CRuz’s PAC’s.
This is the PAC that gave $500,000 to Carly Fiorina.
IF Trump knocks Ted Cruz out of this race, I will not be voting!
Wow. They really DO have money to burn, don't they?
It's like Highlander. There can be only one.
If your favorite is out, then pause and reconsider your options, and make the best choice for you. Don't disconnect from the process.
None of us are actually married to or otherwise related to any of these candidates. Be engaged, but don't take it so seriously you let the D's decide the winner.
I'm all in for Trump, but I'll support the nominee, whoever that is. Except for Jeb Bush.
Trump has a big skycraper Hotel on the Vegas strip
You know the one that says Trump on it?
Trump is well liked in town I waited 2.5 hours, had a ticket and couldn’t get into a hall that had 4,500 seats.
Trumps held several big rally’s here.
Lots of Hispanics, Blacks like him here. This town is dying from Republicans that educate over 100,000 Mexican illegal kids for $14,000 per head per year. We have a governor who is a Republican and both houses of the legislature are GOP, and they passed the largest state tax increase by far in Nevada history.
If Trump gets in we could make our schools better, and Americans could take the illegal’s jobs in the hotels and casinos.
How about you Trumpsters quit saying Trumps funding with his own money....he’s sold so many people out of their money and pocketed it himself....so tell me again who’s money he’s using....
Trump uses stocks to leverage investment money....rare does he put his own money up for anything “yuge”.... He convinces investors into bringing their money to his investments, while he himself provides little, if any actual money to the ventures he boasts about.....
...Business call this “highly leveraged,”...which Trump has openly stated , “I LOVE leverage”.... but for common folks its called “borrowing way more than you can ever afford to pay.” ....
When the Trump Taj Mahal declared bankruptcy in 2006, an ‘employee’ of the parent company was allowed to remove over $1.2 million in cash before the judgment was finalized....... The bankruptcy papers claim the payment was for “services done on behalf of the resort.”....And so easy to see how Trump makes his profit... He over leverages businesses,.... removes cash equity..... and leaves investors with the company remains to be repaid.
Now you may call this business...I call it corruption....at any rat he’s left a ton of investors holding his bags.....so who’s paying for his campaign.....really now....
#groundgamematters
You are touting this , like it a good thing ? Who is behind this super pac ? Hint , it’s NOT a bunch of Constitutionalists ...
Don’t forget about Trump’s daddy helping him get his head out of debt in Atlantic City with a purchase of 3 million dollars worth of chips.
You stated....”If Trump gets in we could make our schools better, and Americans could take the illegalâs jobs in the hotels and casinos.”......
You truly believe that’s going to happen if he gets “in”?????
This sounds an awful lot like the woman who voted for Obama because ..”if I support Obama he’s going to help me”
That very woman says to day...”Obama lied to me”.
I know, only Don Trump’s skirts are clean. All other candidates are corrupt, etc., etc.
Trump has never gone it alone....he simply makes the deals leveraging ‘other peoples money’....heck most of his buildings he claims only have his name the owners lease from him.
He’ll do likewise with tax payers money and that not to the advantage of this nations people...but more of the corporate cronies he’s said he’ll be bringing on board in WAshington...the “smart people” he’s convinced his fans will get the jobs....right!....he’s so mislead his fans!
But I suppose you’re just fine with Mercer, the guy who gave 12 million to the Keep The Promise I super PAC mentioned in this link? He runs a company that uses a bunch of super computers to skim wealth out of the stock market with no human effort, and he’s under investigation for enormous personal tax fraud.
But I’m sure his interests in buying $12 million in votes for Cruz are entirely selfless. LOL
