politics and politicians Title: Ted Cruz Raises $2 Million in First 3 Days of 2016 Campaign From USA Today: WASHINGTON — Sen. Ted Cruz, the first major Republican candidate to declare his White House candidacy, raised $2 million during the first three days of his presidential campaign — as his team deployed a mix of complex social-media strategy and behavioral analytics to reach and sway potential donors. Hours before his announcement speech Monday in Lynchburg, Va., Cruz tweeted the news that he was running for president. That day, he had 5.7 million interactions on Facebook. So far, nearly two-thirds of his fundraising haul has flowed in through the Internet, aided behind the scenes by a team of data scientists who closely monitor social media and digital traffic to determine who’s reading their messages, who’s sharing them and who’s clicking through to his website and taking action. The communication is two-way. Relying on marketing techniques common in the world of commerce, Cruz’s team has tailored its web advertising to reach seven different “psychographic” clusters — groups of people with similar attitudes, personalities and interests. It has crafted 17 different advertising messages to reach those potential donors. For instance, pro-gun “traditionalists” saw online banner ads with a grandfather and grandson heading out to hunt, while another targeted people concerned about personal safety with an image of a home break-in. Another talked about “bringing … faith in God back to America” to attract religious conservatives. They all directed people to visit www.tedcruz.org. “Our entire culture here is to build engagement,” said Cruz campaign manager Jeff Roe. If a potential supporter first visited the Cruz website via her tablet Tuesday evening during the Texas senator’s interview with Fox News host Megyn Kelly, the campaign will direct future online ads to that voter’s device during the evening hours. In all, Cruz hopes to raise $40 million to $50 million by March 2016.

2016 brawl breaks out on Senate floorPaul lashes Cruz, Rubio [Lindsey Graham] for ‘dangerous' and ‘reckless' positions on government spending. Rand Paul wants to increase pentagon spending and pay for it, by cutting the EPA, etc... Cruz, Graham, and Rubio want to borrow the money from China, and let your kids pay it later, while learning to speak Chinese at the mosque.
#17. To: hondo68, A K A Stone, pingunite, We The People (#16) 2016 brawl breaks out on Senate floor Aaah, thanks.... Gonna have to examine the details and minutiae of this proposal. IMO, we can certainly cut the defense budget as Paul proposes. But aren't there other issues the consider of these guys? What of Paul going to the carpet on behalf of the ball-less reptile, Mitch ("yes, me lord, 0bola") McConnell?? Come on, Hondo -- "borrow the money from China, and let your kids pay it later, while learning to speak Chinese at the mosque" -- isn't that juuust a wee bit of an exaggeration? Problem: None of these Senators actually knows what resources from the budget are actually being used for "Defense," and how much is buried. Remember -- the Regime is FUBARing all the book-keeping and sabotaging the entire works to begin with. Whomever wins the Presidency will have to re-audit the entire budget, personnel, and priorities, then work from square one. Much like Reagan in 1981 after Carter. Only Carter wasn't an active enemy of this nation.
#18. To: Liberator, borrow and spend, Chinese foreclosure (#17) (Edited) -- "borrow the money from China, and let your kids pay it later, while learning to speak Chinese at the mosque" -- isn't that juuust a wee bit of an exaggeration? Not by much. The neocons are not even pretending to want to balance the budget. All four senators want to increase defense spending by $190B, but Paul is the only one with a plan to pay for it. Cut spending! Is that too radical? The standard of living has already decreased substantially. More Chinese debt will only make it worse. The wheels are coming off! Yes, our kids will pay a heavy price for our foolishness in electing Republicans and Democrats, known criminals.

All four senators want to increase defense spending by $190B, but Paul is the only one with a plan to pay for it. Cut spending! Nope, NOT radical but sensible. CUTTING spending is a no-brainer. I don't know why the others want to ratchet UP spending when we know it's most likely unnecessary. Without auditing the regime's fake books, why assume MORE money must spent on the military? The standard of living has already decreased substantially. More Chinese debt will only make it worse. The wheels are coming off! Hear ya.
