Influential Donors Criticize Ted Cruz for His G.O.P. Convention Speech

By MAGGIE HABERMANJULY 23, 2016






In an extraordinary public rebuke, two influential donors who were among the biggest supporters of Senator Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign excoriated Mr. Cruz on Saturday for his decision not to endorse Donald J. Trump at the Republican National Convention.

The remarks from Robert Mercer of Long Island and his daughter Rebekah Mercer suggest widening fallout over Mr. Cruz’s convention speech, in which he did not endorse his former rival and, instead, suggested that Republicans should “vote your conscience” for candidates “up and down the ticket.”

“Last summer and again this year, Senator Ted Cruz pledged to support the candidacy of the nominee of the Republican Party, whomever that nominee might be,” the Mercers, who rarely comment in the news media, said in the statement to The New York Times. “We are profoundly disappointed that on Wednesday night he chose to disregard this pledge.”

The statement continued: “The Democratic Party will soon choose as their nominee a candidate who would repeal both the First and Second Amendments of the Bill of Rights, a nominee who would remake the Supreme Court in her own image. We need ‘all hands on deck’ to ensure that Mr. Trump prevails.”

“Unfortunately,” the statement added, “Senator Cruz has chosen to remain in his bunk below, a decision both regrettable and revealing.”

The Mercers invested at least $11 million in Keep the Promise I, one of a group of interlocked “super PACs” that supported Mr. Cruz in his presidential run. During the contentious primary race, Mr. Cruz had early praise for Mr. Trump on the belief that his candidacy would eventually fade and that Mr. Trump’s voters would move over to the senator’s camp.

Instead, Mr. Trump’s candidacy endured and the race between the men grew increasingly rancorous.

Mr. Cruz is up for re-election in 2018 and is said to be looking at a second campaign for president in 2020, should Mr. Trump lose in November. But, in both cases, he will need his donor base to stay with him.

After Mr. Cruz’s speech at the convention in Cleveland, Sheldon G. Adelson, the casino magnate who was an early admirer of Mr. Cruz in the primaries, blocked him from his suite. (A friend of Mr. Adelson’s, claiming to represent him, insisted after the fact that he was not trying to disrespect the senator.)

The next morning, Mr. Cruz was booed by members of the Texas delegation at a breakfast.

A spokeswoman for Mr. Cruz, Catherine Frazier, said on Saturday: “Senator Cruz considers Bob and Rebekah to be patriots and friends. As Senator Cruz urged in Cleveland, Hillary Clinton would be a disaster for America. Republicans need to unite, and the only way to unite is behind shared principles. His speech laid out a path — vigorously defending freedom and the Constitution — for our nominee to unite the party and for Republicans to win up and down the ticket.”

Mr. Mercer in recent weeks has helped fund a new effort for donors who want to defeat Mrs. Clinton, but who do not want to donate to a group that is openly supporting Mr. Trump. That group is being operated by David Bossie, the president of the group Citizens United.

Kellyanne Conway, who was the president of a pro-Cruz super PAC and now is an adviser to Mr. Trump, said the statement reflects the Mercers’ feelings about defeating Mrs. Clinton in the fall and “how grievously piqued they were to watch Ted’s convention stunt on Wednesday night.”

Ms. Conway added, “They supported Ted because they thought he was a man of his word who, like them, would place love of country over personal feelings or political ambition.”

Damn, if true and Robert Mercer & Friends called Cruz's speech at the convention a "stunt" he's forever done large donor/PAC  money-wise. The mega-wealthy don't forget when some politician makes them look bad.

Contested primary/general election runs for the US Senate cost a average of 10 million. I hope Cruz salted some of Mercer & Friends money away because I don't see many "money bombs" head his way.

We'll see; she might be an effective globalist powerhouse in her own right and of value to Goldman Sachs in which case she'll keep her position with them.

Cruz made a very, very bad political decision. If he could not bring himself to endorse Trump, he should have just stayed away from the Republican convention. Now, whether Trump wins or loses, Cruz will be seen by Republicans the same way Ralph Nader was seen by Democrats after 2000 - as a self-centered spoiler. In other words, Cruz has committed political suicide.

I'm voting my conscience.....as Ted said. *

I'm choosing someone who has been successful living the American dream and actually loves this country over someone who hates America and wants it to look like every third world shithole she has ever visited while pedaling influence as secretary of state.

Somehow, though even stupid people have or acquire LOTS of money.  Life doesn't seem fair somehow.  I'm thinking long term about the country and the damage 4 or more completely partisan hacks could do to the Supreme Court.  I lived through both the Carter years and the Reagan Revolution.  I prefer the years of Reagan to Carter.  We will see.

*Original Arfcom Cruz/2016 supporters.  Would still be honored to fight and die along side him if needed.

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/sheldon-adelson-republican-convention-2016-225814

Adelson raised hopes among Trump’s allies when he signaled that he might donate as much as $100 million or more to super PACs supporting Trump’s White House bid, which has failed to attract support from most of the party’s top donors.

GOP finance circles have been buzzing about when — or if — the check would come, and to which of the competing super PACs it would be written. And several GOP fundraisers told POLITICO that Adelson, a hawkish supporter of Israel and Jewish causes, may have been discouraged by recent Trump missteps, including his campaign’s Tweet featuring a Star of David inscribed with text declaring Hillary Clinton the “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever,” superimposed over a pile of money. Trump claimed the six-sided star was meant to represent a sheriff's badge.

But on Monday, when Adelson pulled up to the city’s Public Auditorium and Conference Center for a foreign policy discussion hosted by the Republican Jewish Coalition, he ignored a question about the controversial tweet and also one about when he was going to donate to help Trump.

A handful of Cruz stalwarts (in red states) is not going to make a fig of difference one way or the other but in a state like Virginia it might make a difference so why keep poking the former Cruz voters with a stick with all the name-calling? It serves no purpose at this point.

There's absolutely no doubt that in addition to publically giving his word and signing his name to his pledge to support the eventual Republican Party Candidate;  that he also gave his personal word and assurances in private to his donors as well.

Well  Smirking Ted Cruz lied to them and the chickens have come home to roost; he's now made himself despised, and rightfully so.

Woohoo!!!!!

The Senator with the 2nd highest Conservative rating in the senate may not be able to fund his reelection.  


Now we can finally usher in more congressmen like Trump has supported like McConnell and Boehner.




The absolute joy that some take in the possible defeat of the most aggressive defender of 2A rights on Capitoi Hill never ceases to amaze me.  

  So you are saying Ted Cruz bears no responsibility for his own actions?  Sounds like you are more of a Hillary supporter than a conservative who expects people to "do what they say" and "take responsibility for their actions".  Ted Cruz screwed up and created this mess.  All of this could have easily been avoided had he been a team player at the teams convention.



In terms that some here will be better able to understand; Smirking Ted pissed in his own tip jar and now nobody wants to stick their hand with money into it anymore.

When Ted Cruz said to "vote your conscience" and "vote for the candidate most likely to uphold and defend the Constitution"...


Why are Trump supporters so upset about that?


Cruz never said "Don't vote for Trump". Why would you guys take it that way, unless you don't believe Trump will do those things, and you can't vote for Trump in good conscience?

Donald kept his word, and at the Republican Party Conention he backed the Party Nominee in a very well received speech for which he was given thunderous applause.

Lyin' Ted on the other hand, was booed off the stage and dumped by his most ardent and important supporters and donors because he lied and broke his word as well as his signed pledge.
