Senator Ted Cruz won a hard-fought partial victory in Texas during last nights 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 Cruzs 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.
The numbers are staggering.
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 states 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 Cruzs 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 Cruzs Iowa Caucus win) but far less cash than before yesterdays 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.

ABSOULTELY thank you for TED CRUZ for President of the United States in 2016........
He’d love to sit on the Supreme Court with his nemesis.
I know, right? When did FR become a site where energy companies that provide wealth for America get attacked so viciously.
With Trump, this place is looking more and more like the DU every day.
I know, and Heidi is concerned. I have been getting the emails from he Cruz campaign for months saying he is out of money.
I guess we need to drive slow and watch for her along the interstate.
hmmmm. I don’t get any, but I know where his Website is and I can direct you to it if you like, no problem. They take Credit Cards too.
Donnie takes the cake for the absolute biggest, tallest, fattest and most inaccurate lies of all times. He calls it, “the art of the deal”.
Don’t rightly remember one of Teds.
False. Check again.
This article is inedible biased. Cruz won three states including Texas. And he’ll win on Saturday because those contests are closed to disruptive liberals.
And Cruz is doing fine financially. So basically what we have is a bunch of liberal bs designed to hurt Cruz.
Bump for Ted.
tedcruz.org.........I think that is a good site to donate through. I had some in here that seems to want to know that. lol
Did you see Romneys speech today on Cspan3? Wow, he was right on the mark about DT......everything nailed just who DT is.......now some didn't like it, but oh well.
Stay classy.
Go Cruz!!!!
Ted got the yuge prize so far TEXAS. Which puts him within 100 delegates of Trump.
Way behind? I don't think so.
The fathead Trump hasn't sang yet.
Ahhhh....Cruz support and solidarity with Romney in one post, right here on Free Republic.
A thing of beauty.
lol. Oh well, just a minor flaw.....but there can/will be an excuse for both those statements, with so many mind readers here that seem to always know what DT means after he flip flops once more. Sure must get weary trying to keep up with the Don.
How is Heidi doing? I've heard rumors that she is 'worried sick'. Poor lady must be having a rough time.
I tend to disbelieve you.
I’ve contributed to Cruz and I have NEVER gotten more than one e-mail in a day; often none.
Ben Carson, to whom I’d never contributed, sent me a solicitation every day.
I would never accuse you of falsifying but I actually contribute to Ted and he has NEVER sent me multiple e-mails.
Why would he send to you?
And your candidate is so far ahead ... ahead of the world ... why would you people say things that are not true.
Please do. Keep flushing your money down the drain.....I just hope you are not a welfare type like most Cruz supporters are.
