Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is calling out former President Trump for not spending more of his $100 million war chest to boost Republican Senate candidates ahead of next week’s midterm elections.
“I will say by the way I wish Trump was spending some of his money,” Cruz said. “Trump’s got $100 million and he’s spending almost none of it to support these candidates.”
Cruz also accused Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) of withholding critical political dollars from “pro-Trump” candidates, while funneling money into races where “moderates” and Trump critics are running.
“It would be nice if Trump would spend some of that $100 million to help some of these candidates who Mitch is abandoning because they’re pro-Trump,” Cruz said. “Those are the two pockets of money that are there, and right now neither of them are spending in a number of these states. They’re not.”

Trump succeeded in business and in politics by spending wisely. His rallies are more effective than any ads he could purchase.

Still, the way he’s been treated even with fat-lipped Ronna McDaniel disrespecting him at times I don’t think they deserve a cent!

The RNC that is trying to get Murkowski elected over Tshibaka but won’t do much for Mike Lee? The RNC that ALWAYS supports the RINOS? That pulled out on Bolduc and Masters? THAT RNC?
Sorry, no good.

Winred is the bane of my existence. In the 2020 cycle I donated multiple times totaling several thousand dollars to winred under the pretense that the donations were going to Trump and other conservative candidates.
Strangely, not one of my donations have appeared on opensecrets (a donor lookup site)
I have been barraged with text messages and emails requesting more money. I probably block a phone call or two a day. As for email solicitations, I get at least 10 a day despite incessantly unsubscribing to them.

Trump has to defend against the leftists though...that isn’t cheap. And he forgo his salary for 4 years. Did Cruz do that? No? Oh, right he’s into it for himself.

I will never donate money to the RNC!
I will never donate money to RINOS!
Former President Donald J Trump is neither.
He will get my support.
