Exclusive: New Ted Cruz Super-PACs Take in Record Haul
Oh snap!
New Ted Cruz Super-PACs Take in Record Haul
The Texas senator's supporters throw down a marker in the fundraising sweepstakes—$31 million raised in less than a week. An associate of the Texas senator, a recently announced presidential candidate, tells Bloomberg that a cluster of affiliated super-political action committees was formed only this week, and among them they are expected to have $31 million in the bank by Friday.Even in the context of a presidential campaign cycle in which the major party nominees are expected to raise more than $1.5 billion, Cruz’s haul is eye-popping, one that instantly raises the stakes in the Republican fundraising contest.
“Our goal is to guarantee Senator Cruz can compete against any candidate. ”

What does "Oh snap" mean in this context?
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

It means holy crap that's a lot of cabbage.
That said, it's one thing to pull in that kind of money in Q2 of 2015. The question is can Cruz keep going to the well as we get deeper into the primaries.
Give the man credit though. I don't get his appeal even a little bit but he must be speaking to a significant number of voters to put up that number. (note: I am assuming that his PAC raised a significant portion of that from activists and not just from a handful of deep pocketed contributors).
I think you're going to see a lot of different United States of America over the next three, four, or eight years. - President Donald J. Trump

Only if we happen to like what was reported.
If it's about guns, for instance, it's a lying liberal rag....
