Ted Cruz Sells His Soul to Frackers for $15 Million

While Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are bringing in a sizeable number of donations of under $100, Republicans have been going for the big money, like the huge score Ted Cruz just made from a pair of Texas frackers.

Even so, on July 16, Newsmax made a big deal of Hillary receiving donations from wealthy individuals, with the headline, “Hillary Clinton’s Donations From Hedge Fund Titans Exceed Republicans.”

Those Democrats are such elitists! You don’t want to be drinking milk when you read these things, at least not without a bib.

And here the Texas Messiah, Ted Cruz, just hauled in $15 million in a single donation from a pair of – yes – Texas brothers. CNN reports that it “amounts to the largest known donation so far in the 2016 presidential campaign.”
