They were going to have to show their faces sooner or later...good thing it's before the election is over.
Ummm I think he is a freshman FOUR year Senator. He was elected in 2012.
Washington Cartel money spends just like Goldman Sachs it seems
and now entitled to decide.
Let’s talk about issues. Has the mere accumulation of wealth turned into a badge of dishonor on this web site? If Cruz is right on the issues, it doesn’t matter how wealthy his supporters are, as long as their wealth hasn’t been gained by theft or monopoly.
I've liked Cruz because he has been a consistent defender of the good guy side of most issues. As long as that remains his habit, he will get my support.
In fact, if he were to get the nod and support by big donors, it would cost me less of my meager assets. If he gets the nomination, he will get my vote.
I feel the same way about Trump. If he is the nominee, he will get my vote.
In before the “Are you sundance?”
Are Trumptards upset that if Drumpf wasn’t running that he might be funding Cruz?
Oh wait, he already is on Hillery’s donor list! /sarc

Yep. Take a look at this too.
Inside Political Baseball – Visible Signs of Cruz Campaign Strain…

The “DC insiders” are using Cruz as a useful idiot to bugger up the primaries’ results. When that mess is over they’ll kick him to the curb and bring in Jeb or Romney.
Donald Trump is the one candidate the entire "establishment" fear.
Cruz has joined with the establishment to “stop Trump”.
Trump is the citizens effort to stop the Cheap Labor Express.
I am very disappointed that Ted Cruz has decided his ambitions are more important than the country.
It was already well-known that Cruz worked for the Bush administration. He apparently was an effective -- an highly conservative -- member of the FTC, as well.
Nor was there any secret that he met Heidi, his wife, during this period...and that she worked for the Bush administration, as well.
The Bush finance team members who have been hired are also largely Texans. It's as much about geography as ideology. Who's to say that those staffers aren't largely conservatives, anyway.
So, one of the PACs supporting Cruz is run by a lawyer who also worked for Mitch when he was fighting off Matt Bevin's challenge. First, do we know who else the lawyer worked for? Lawyers tend to work for a lot of people who don't necessarily share the same ideology. Also, as I recall, Mr. Trump gave $50,000 to Mitch to help him beat Matt Bevin.
No "blockbusters" here. Just conspiratorial nonsense.
Finally, mightn't Sundance at ConservativeTreeHouse be a Trump operative? Upon reflection, from the outset, he seems to have played the role of a very skilled propagandist.
Ted has been carrying conservative water for years when we had few allies.
It is wrong to shame him.
That said, where else is the ‘beltway’ cash to go?
Ted is closer to the ‘establishment’ then Trump.
Seems we are on a roll, though many here cannot see it.
Now that the presidential race is down to the ‘brass tacks phase’, and with the glaring reality of Team Jeb Bush, Team Mitt Romney endorsement, Team Lindsey Graham endorsement, Team Carly Fiorina endorsement, and the entire DC professional political class aligning themselves with Ted Cruz, it’s a good opportunity to highlight the uncomfortable truth for those new to the awakening.
A freshman, two-year Senator/Presidential Candidate, Ted Cruz was presented, by intentional Wall Street conduct, as an outsider; as “a fallacy of false dilemma“. If you don’t know what “false choice” really means, click on the link ↑ to read the definition and see how easy it is to manipulate the electorate.
Cruz was never “an outsider“. The intellectually honest political observer would have to detach themselves from all reasonable cognition to avoid accepting Ted Cruz:
Those are facts.
So too, are the facts below.
♦ This is one of those ah-ha moments when several political variables seem to reconcile simultaneously. For those who doubted the Earlier Tripwire, here’s the evidence.
There is a Super-PAC called “Stand for Truth” registered out of Lexington Kentucky headed by a guy named Eric Lycan. [Here’s the link – search box “Stand for Truth”]
Mr. Eric Lycan was Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s lawyer during his re-election campaign against Matt Bevin. Lycan also has deep tentacles within the entire GOPe apparatus, including the Chamber of Commerce.
You can confirm identity from the filing paperwork and the reported contact information which is the same as THIS LINK to the Dinsmore legal group.
Link for FEC Filing [Again search box “Stand for Truth”]
So obviously Eric Lycan is a deep insider within GOPe circles:
There’s no questioning his GOPe bona fides. However, here’s where things get really interesting.
Given his curriculum vitae and the direct connection to Mitch McConnell you might not expect to see this:
It’s a pro-Ted Cruz Super-PAC. The filing above also shows they spent $42,000 to create digital advertising for Ted Cruz, and…
…..wait for it…
….. spent $192,594.00 for “RADIO ADVERTISING”.
It makes a person wonder which radio broadcasters might have picked up some of that Pro-Ted Cruz advertising money?
…and maybe that explains why THIS seemed to have struck such a nerve.
.@marklevinshow Have you taken any advertising $$ from SRCP Media?

But wait, it gets better….
Eric Lycan’s “Stand for Truth” Super-PAC is not only Pro-Cruz, it is also Anti-Donald Trump. Producing and paying for airing of negative ads in Iowa against Candidate Donald Trump (examples found here):
The filing above exhibits spending of $150,000 for negative digital ads in opposition to Donald Trump and $15,750.00 in production costs for the same.
And this is NO SMALL SUPER-PAC, they are spending $2,251,345.00 They are putting out a lot of money. More money than would come from small donors etc.
But again, big picture, why would a Mitch McConnell aligned type of DC insider, with strong connections to the U.S. CoC, be spending millions to support Ted Cruz and spend millions against Donald Trump?
These FACTS, not suppositions, FACTS, blow the “outsider Cruz” narrative a bit, no? These FACTS also seem to run exactly opposite of this Ted Cruz presentation of his relationship with Mitch McConnell, no?
Exactly the opposite seems to be going on. A DC PAC pro-Cruz and anti-Trump, has the very distinct odor of yet another Cruz-like quid-pro-quo (TPA maybe).
The “Never Trump” movement is dependent on the electorate remaining oblivious to the UniParty scheme. Once people wake up, the DC machine is done….
THANK you so much for posting Sundance. Everything is on the record and exposed.
It’s true. Ted is a TROJAN HORSE.
That would explain why Rush has become so pro Cruz. Sucking up those ad dollars. Shame on him.
