Ted Cruz Is Pocketing the Money He’s Raising for Georgia GOPers. He’s Not Alone
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) needs your help to keep the U.S. Senate in Republican hands. So blared a handful of Facebook’s ads that Cruz’s campaign committee purchased this month. But none of them were actually raising money for the Republican candidates in Georgia. Instead, every penny donated went directly to...Cruz.
The Cruz campaign bought 15 separate ads on Facebook over the past two weeks, each featuring a video of the senator dramatically hyping the need to hold two U.S. Senate seats in Georgia runoff contests.
“Gun grabbing, tax hikes, open borders, and stacking the Supreme Court. That’s the radical Democrat agenda if they win the Georgia Senate elections,” Cruz declared.
He asked for five dollar contributions to his new “Keep Georgia Red fund.” But Facebook users who clicked through to the online donation page—and read the fine print at the bottom—would see that the actual beneficiary was Cruz’s own campaign committee, not Sens. Kelly Loeffler or David Perdue, the two Republicans running for reelection in Georgia.
Cruz is just one of a number of elected officials of both parties using the competitive—and extremely expensive—Georgia runoff contests to raise money for themselves. Increasingly, those officials are doing so on Facebook, where a political ad ban instituted in late October was lifted this month, but only for ads in Georgia.
That’s led to a rash of Facebook ads invoking the Senate contests in the state on behalf of out-of-state political candidates. On some occasions, the ads don’t even mention the runoff contests, but are targeted to users in Georgia in an effort to exploit Facebook’s state-specific political advertising policy.

It is claimed that he was a master debater in college.
I've never seen anything remotely masterful in his debate performances as a Senator

Ted Cruz sees democracy the same way he sees his wife, as something not worth defending.

Nice selection of OP photo. "Who me?!? Why, I'd never."
He's a slimy, self-serving, professional politician. They are a useless species we seem unable to dislodge from the human race.

Is there a video game where you can repeatedly punch Ted Cruz in the face over and over again? Because if there isn't, somebody really should make one!

Maybe like a whack-a-mole game. His face, or his fat body pops up, and we hulk-smash it!

Oh, right, I forgot -- he's a Republican. Okay, carry on.

He's only 50 so unless Texas gets smart, he'll be around for at least another 30 years.
