Ted Cruz Is Crushing Hillary In This Big Indicator Of Electoral Success!

The Clinton camp is scrambling to catch up.

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is off to a booming start in terms of super PAC fundraising. His campaign’s primary political action committees reportedly took in a combined $31 million in just their first week of existence last month. Compared to his chief Democrat rival, Hillary Clinton, Cruz’s haul is even more impressive.
Projections indicate that, even by the end of next month, Clinton’s Priorities USA Action super PAC will bring in less than half of what Cruz was able to raise in just a week.
In response to the disappointing numbers, Clinton backers have replaced high-level committee officials in an effort to attract new donors. One insider told the Wall Street Journal that some involved in the campaign had “unhappiness with the lack of leadership in the organization.”
Another source confirmed there was a unanimous opinion among staffers that “fundraising needed to be stepped up significantly.”
Meanwhile, Cruz is amassing a war chest his supporters hope will take him through the nomination process and into the general election, at which time he can go head-to-head with Clinton – assuming she fulfills expectations by securing her party’s nomination.
Political analyst Mark Halperin concluded that the Cruz campaign and its “eye-popping” ability to raise money is not only a threat to Clinton, but “instantly raises the stakes in the Republican fundraising contest.”
As multiple scandals continue to take their toll on Clinton’s candidacy and reputation, only time will tell if a few personnel changes at Priorities USA Action will bridge the fundraising gap.
