GRASSROOTS …
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas says his presidential campaign has raised $26.5 million since it was launched six months ago – including $12.2 million in the third quarter (from July through September). Of interest? Cruz’s campaign saw 185,000 total contributions during the third quarter – more than half of his total 3
The average contribution amount? Sixty-six dollars …
Cruz also said his organization had 6,000 “sustainers” – or donors who had agreed to contribute to his cause on a monthly basis. Those donors “provide enough recurring revenue to cover all expenses every month for Cruz’s entire field operation across the country, which includes the first four early states, as well as the 23 additional states and territories where the campaign is currently organized,” according to his campaign.
Cruz also noted the announcement of five hundred new leadership team members – in the last month alone.
All of the above is evidence of solid grassroots … which will help Cruz in the event he’s able to make a move into the top tier of 2016 presidential candidates.
“We are thrilled to see a grassroots wave of support for our campaign gaining momentum all over the country,” Cruz said. “Not only are we seeing a surge of new donors and recurring donors to our campaign, but also continued growth of our organizations in the early states and all across the country. Americans are ready for real change, and I am ready to stand with them to take on the Washington Cartel and return power to the American people. We have both the financial and organizational resources to compete for the long haul and to take our optimistic message all across the country.”

Maybe you Dumbasses should try it sometime, and you would not LOSE every time you run for any office outside some smelly backwater armpit
Ted knows he’s been a totally ineffectual senator, who will only serve one term. He grandstanded for rubes like you and it worked. He’ll keep taking your money long after he’s left office, just like other ‘conservative’ con men. Trump’s realized what a gullible lot you all are and is pretending to be conservative too. You guys fall for it EVERY TIME.
If you were conservative you would kill yourself. You would be everything you hate. A lazy taker on welfare and Medicaid.
People like GrandTango will have buyers remorse when their welfare is taken from them and they actually have to start looking for a job, then they’ll wonder why the fuck they ruined such a good thing for themselves.
It only pays if you’re the right kind of conservative. What’s the right kind? The kind that the billionaires like.
If only Huckabee hadn’t cock blocked Ted from being on stage with Kim Davis.
The ‘conservative’ suckers would really be opening up their purses!
The donors are wasting their money on this sham who is not even an american citizen.
trump is going to end up with all the outsider votes carson’s and fiorina’s then on he goes to the nomination
What’s that saying, a fool and their money……
The only TedTalk where leave dumber than before.
As of September Bernie Sanders has 650,000 donors, contributing an average of $30 each. Now that is grass roots.
and grass smokers
Rubio’s wife is hot.
Of course none if this matters until the Kochs’ Slave Auction is over. Since Walker dropped out, they have been debating over who they want to buy. Rumor is they have checked out Rubio’s teeth and dick, and watched him lick their boots. While he is not yet as experienced as Walker at boot licking, they think he will be a fine worker and good breeding stock. Plus his neck fits nicely in the collar they had made for Walker. So they will probably pick him up in a few weeks. If that happens Cruz will need to go back to the holding pen for now.
Cruz is running for Trump VP, he’s the only one Trump likes.
The only thing he could hope for is that Trump self destructs(which is always a possibility) or the establishment finds a way to get rid of Trump, which they have yet to do. But if they get rid of Trump, the next target would be Cruz anyway.
who knew a Canadian could raise so much money in the US?
