Group Backing Ted Cruz Makes $573,000 Ad Buy in Nevada
The New York Times' First Draft ^ | February 15, 2016 | Matt Flegenheimer

Posted on 02/15/2016 5:37:38 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

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....

Many have seen their ad money flushed down the toilet while Trump’s poll numbers far exceed.

Trump spends less money per vote than the big spender/losers.

500,000 is chump change - ask that fool, Yeb! and his support.

I posted this on another thread ...

The sooner that Trump can defeat Cruz the better ,and then we can let the healing begin ...I don’t envision a scenario that most of the new voters that Trump brought into the political process will vote for anyone except Trump .. there is no other way ,it has to be Trump or we will lose ...guaranteed

Don’t think of it that way Lu.....Cruz is going to win this...don’t let the Trumpsters rants and raves, nor the media dictate to you how think. They all play on the emotions.....you know his History and it’s solid, you know his character and that too is solid....this is a political race and everything gets twisted and yanked so you’ll doubt and get flustered.

Cruz stays the course and steady as it goes.....Won Iowa, placed better then expected in NH, and now we’ll see if the ground game comes in for S.C. as well.

Trump would not have continued to spend most of his press conference slamming Cruz hard if he wasn’t afraid he might loose...and he has good reason to be afraid that he might. He has little to nothing ground game....and it saw what that did in Iowa.

Trust God....pray for Cruz and his staff....and that Cruz stays the course regardless of any states outcome.....God is well known to come into a situation at the last moment...the way there is to ‘stretch our faith’. regardless how things might “look” from our view....the ‘underside’ of the tapestry he’s weaving.

Yes.

Meet Teddy ‘s Evil New York City Hedge Fund owner / Sugar Daddy ...

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/04/10/meet-ted-cruz-s-tax-dodging-sugar-daddy.html

Robert Mercer is the 6 billion dollar tax cheat that has funded the Saint Cruz Ugly Smear AD machine .

Typical sleazy cynical DC Cruz operation.
Mercer think Teddy will let him skate from the 6 billion Mercer owes to the IRS for illegal transactions .

The Lovely good Christian owner of Teddy and Heidi .

Mercer is the biggest Wall Street fat cat funded but there are more.

Running a Non stop smear attack operation is expensive for a phony Christian like Saint Ted.

.....”The sooner that Trump can defeat Cruz the better ,and then we can let the healing begin”....

What healing? They’ll be no healing with me....I’m not that emotionally invested in Cruz....but I sure won’t be voting for a Demorat if Cruz doesn’t get this.

Your business sense is as dense as a plank.

You do realize that YOUR candidate’s donors have also been ‘highly leveraged’, in their business investments.

CRuz was ‘highly leveraged’ on a much smaller scale...when he took out loans on the only thing he’s ever managed....himself.

So, stop with your nonsensical and uninformed posts. Corruption? Better talk to your fanboi CRuz about that.

Robert Mercer also stuffed another
11,000,000 of his own money into Dear Teddy's pockets along with a Fracking Billionaire too .
Read the eye popping Cruz Billionaire list .

https://www.crowdpac.com/blog/cruz-clinton-wall-street

Mercer runs the Dark Money PAC operation that does all the Trump lies and spin attack Ads.

Saint Ted needs those evil New Yorkers to funnel the secret PAC to do the lords work smearing and lying .

Please there hearts ...

Oh then does that make YOU feel better to think it doesn’t come out of your pocket?????

I don’t want our Presidential races to be where ONLY the wealthy can run...not ever. .....Trump cries about the ground being a fair playing field but he ade it an UNFAIR field from the get go of his run.... fling around in his personal jets and helicopters, already having a “brand” name and the celebrity status that goes with that........knowing how to manipulate the media and using them and they him in their deals.....THAT is not a level filed when none of the candidates on their own could possibly afford the luxury of flying to and from rallies....having a field of attorneys to sue everyone who stands in your way.

Trump has never played fair from the get go.....nor will he....he’s a user of people, other peoples money, and that of his fans and supporters. This to get his ultimate prize he seeks...the “power” of the Presidency.

So don’t talk to me about corruption in politics when Trumps as crooked and deceptive as they come.......he’s a snake oil salesman and the uninformed are buying it....it’s that simple.
