Good lord, the amount of money going to Republican “outside groups” is astonishing. They’re not even trying to hide it anymore. Ted Cruz has collected almost as much outside money as Hillary Clinton has collected in legitimate campaign cash. Ted Cruz. Think about that.
In case you haven’t heard this is the end of the fundraising quarter. Here’s a sample of Ted Cruz’s fundraising
I’m sure you’ve heard…the crowded field of presidential candidates is beginning to thin out, and what you may not know — money was a big factor.
That’s why I’m emailing you today.
Right now, we are still more than $400,000 short of our End of Quarter Goal.
Since TWO of my fellow conservative candidates have been forced to drop out due to lack of funds, it is more urgent now than ever that I have your support before the hard cutoff of my fundraising deadline on Sept. 30th.
I’ve asked my staff to put a clock below to show the amount of time left before my Federal Election Commission (FEC) fundraising deadline.
FEC DEADLINE COUNTDOWN
I’m personally asking: will you to chip in $35, $50, or $250 right now — BEFORE the clock runs out?
After September 30th, EVERY presidential campaign must file financial reports with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) detailing our contributions and expenditures. Once results are made public, every media outlet will have immediate access and begin scrutinizing each candidate’s report.
I can feel it…Republicans across the country are fed up and will not allow the establishment to pick another “Campaign Conservative” nominee if we can offer them a proven conservative alternative!
Douglas, the bottom line is this: a grassroots campaign like ours can’t afford setbacks. If our fundraising is not as strong as we need it to be — Washington insiders will use our disappointing numbers against us.
We’re building real momentum in key states, but we must keep the campaign doors open if we want to fight off the Washington Cartel and be the ones to reignite liberty.
The Washington Cartel…You’ve got to love these guys.
Bush and Cruz have collected the most money. Here’s what it’s bought them:
Bush’s decline is precipitous. He was at 17% in July. Cruz at least has ticked up a little bit. But neither one of them are setting records for anything but collecting rich people’s money and saying stupid things.
