Ted Cruz Campaign Running Out Of Cash

Senator Ted Cruz won a hard-fought partial victory in Texas during last night’s Super Tuesday primary battle. It was the culmination of months of time and money spent meant to culminate in a clear post-Super Tuesday lead in the race to the GOP nomination this summer. The southern states were to be Cruz’s ticket to the White House.

For Cruz, that ticket never arrived. The Texas senator remains well behind Donald Trump in the delegate count, and now rumors are swirling of a campaign that has spent almost as much money as did the already-departed Jeb Bush fiasco, with little more to show for it – and that money is said to now be running out.

Over $100 million raised, much of it from Big Oil, and law firms, and much of that now spent trying to secure a better than 50% victory in Texas that would have garnered the candidate all of his home state’s 155 delegates, Instead, Cruz will have earned less than 44% support among Texas voters, a number well below historical averages for home state Texas candidates.

Ted Cruz gambled almost everything on a decisive Super Tuesday victory. That victory instead went to Donald Trump. Now word is spreading that Cruz’s former willing donors are pulling back from the campaign. Cruz still has considerable cash on hand, as does the Super PAC promoting him, (both raised significant amounts last month primarily after Cruz’s Iowa Caucus win) but far less cash than before yesterday’s primary battle and likely not enough cash to survive yet another month or more as projections have fewer and fewer donations coming in, unless the senator is somehow able to pull off one or two big upsets come March 15th in either Florida or Ohio.

Correction on my post— Jefferson had left office and it was his co-founder of the Democratic-Republican party, James Madison who was President and sent a list of grievances to Congress— not asking for war, but they voted to declare war on Britain anyway.

As a Patriot, I too am troubled by people who facilely discard thinking rationale people (whom they cannot know but stupidly lump together in their little minds)- because they won’t support their demagogue. It’s not pretty what is going on— but regardless, we cannot allow a nightmare of a 3rd obamaomau term in the form of ANY democrat nominee— any one of them.

Hillary will start to run more to the “conservative” as a war hawk— which is a lie (especially with Huma still humming), even as right now Trump is “spreading” his market to a left of center swath (the healthcare “thing”— at least some details are on his sight).

The debates are purposely obfuscating the policy disasters visited on us by a cabal of left wing insiders, their judges/judiciary and their RINO enablers comfortable in their enabling “we are one of the ruling class” positions and money machines inside the beltway. And the money people are placing and hedging their bets, and trying to continually steal this country from the Patriots, the good Real People.

I personally haven’t stated what you wrote. I am saying that this attempt to stand on the idea of being an outsider is bogus imho.

It doesn’t matter, RWB, what will be will be. I’m just one vote as are you - time will tell what millions of voters decide.
