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.”

He attacked McConnell for only putting up money for RINO candidates and said Trump should fill the financial gap that McConnell left for the conservative candidates.
He has also been running around the country campaigning for MAGA candidates. Not for Bushies, for our guys.
Ya. I can’t imagine
Waiting for trump to take stage. I guess RINOs are unaware
Your timing is bad. Like Cruz.
He is asking Trump to put more money into the conservative candidates that McConnell abandoned.
Ya. Not buying it.
Just facts; you can “buy it” or not.
Trump gives 25% to the RNC? Where you getting that from? Why in the world would he give 25% to the establishment?
So he can support candidates. Read the fine print. It has always been like this. Ted Cruz and the rest of the NeverTrumpers are so full of it.
Read what “fine print”? He can donate directly to candidates. Give me a link that shows he gives 25% to the RNC.
Look it up yourself on the donation page. 75% to Trump 25% to the RNC. It is common knowledge.
You’re lying.
You can look it up, stupid. It is right on the donation page. There are also articles written on it.
Trump’s Save America PAC is raking in donations
The Trump campaign’s fundraising shows no signs of abating, though Election Day was over a month ago. Since November 3, the campaign, Republican National Committee, Trump Victory and Trump Make America Great Again joint committees, and President Trump’s new political action committee, Save America, have collected $207.5 million in donations, his campaign announced Thursday.

Here’s the way small donations are allocated according to the campaign website: “75% of each contribution first to Save America, up to $5,000/$5,000, then to [Donald J. Trump’s] Recount Account, up to a maximum of $2,800/$5,000.
Then, the RNC’s operating account gets the other 25% of each contribution, up to a maximum of $35,500/$15,000.” Any additional funds would be used by the RNC’s “Legal Proceedings account or Headquarters account — up to a maximum of $213,000/$90,000.”
I did a search on "Trump donates 25 percent RNC" and some variations on that and came up empty. I did find this:
Former President Donald J. Trump urged his supporters to no longer make donations to Republicans who are against his Make America Great Again agenda in a fiery statement Monday night. Instead, he directed donations to his campaign website and the Save America political action committee, instead of the Republican National Committee (RNC).So he's telling people not to donate to the RNC while giving 25% to them, according to you.
“No more money for RINOS,” Trump declared in a statement, using the acronym for Republicans in Name Only. “They do nothing but hurt the Republican Party and our great voting base—they will never lead us to Greatness. Send your donation to Save America PAC at DonaldJTrump.com. We will bring it all back stronger than ever before!”
We could do this all year and you'll never give me a simple link, which is very easy to do, while repeatedly telling me to look something up. Continually telling people to look something up without ever giving them a link is classic leftie troll behavior.
You're a pathological liar.
