Ted Cruz has spent more than all but one other senator on Facebook ads in recent months, a move that could help him if he runs for president again

Politicians with an eye on the White House have built digital-heavy campaign fundraising apparatuses in the past. Vice President Kamala Harris spent heavily on online ads in early 2017 right after she was elected to the Senate. Back then, her teamthat she was taking advantage of small donors' enthusiasm for contributing to Democrats after Trump's election; and, indeed, the roughly $300,000 she spent on digital ads resulted in nearly $750,000 in small dollar donations.

Other potential Republican presidential candidates have spent a fraction of what Cruz has on Facebook in recent months. Sen. Tim Scott spent about $72,000, Sen. Josh Hawley spent about $44,000 and former Vice President Mike Pence’s Great America Committee PAC spent about $42,000. Cruz’s burst of ad spending comes as his ties with corporate America have frayed. Corporate PACs have pulled back their support for the Texas senator after he voted not to certify Biden's victory in January. Just one corporate PAC gave to Cruz's campaign in the first quarter of this year, according to a campaign finance disclosure. But a spokesperson for the PAC, the Lyondell Chemical Company PAC, said the donation was actually made back in September.

in The Wall Street Journal. "Starting today, I no longer accept money from any corporate PAC. I urge my GOP colleagues at all levels to do the same.""I'm done with these woke corporations," reads athat started running last week. "I'm never taking their money again. I won't owe them a single thing and I'm going to spend every day stopping their radical agenda.

What’s the sense, the Republican Party can no longer be trusted. They tell nothing but lies to get their way.

....THIS MAN CALLED TRUMP ...HAS DAMAGED ENOUGH... AMERICA AND THE WORLD .... ..COMPRENDE SEN CRUZ

FB needs to be closed down along with FoxNews at thi point.

We can’t have a President that let’s both his Father and WIFE get fully sht on by his own party. SPINELESS is defined in Webster’s dictionary as “Ted Cruz.”

Vomit

Ted Cruz must be a delusional drunk if he believes he has a chance to become the POTUS. Should try that Cancun trip again…but stay there on a permanent vacation from politics.

Social media should ban political ads

No matter how much he spends on ads on Facebook, Texans and Americans will never forget how he abandoned his constituents when they were in crisis. TedFled CancunCruz ResignCruz TurnTexasBlue

Who in the fuck would vote for Ted Cruz? Stop trying to speak this into existence.

What does Hawley say about Cancun Cruz sleeping with ‘Big Tech’

Which you’d think would be mitigated by the fact that he is an awful person

Cruz was born in Canada. Congress would have to approve his unlikely nomination. No one likes Ted Cruz, not even Ted Cruz.

This is funny. He has as much of a chance to be President as my grandpa's mule. And the mule still would get more votes!!

Ted Cruz thinks the planet is 6,000 years old. That should be the story.

SenTedCruz tedcruz is this the Big Tech you keep referring to?

What won't help him in a run for president is that he is Ted Cruz...

lol, it won't

The idiots at Politico are clueless

Is he advertising his timeshare in Cancun?
