Poor misunderstood Ted Cruz can’t catch a break. Capitol watchdogs keep attacking Teddy’s own grift gathering media presence on his iHeartMedia-sponsored podcast by saying such unfair things like “This is not an arrangement we’ve seen before, and it seems like Senator Cruz is trying to find a way to walk the line between not falling into an ethics violation and not falling into a campaign finance violation.” 

But TFG must be fuming. What must The Don think about all of this grift not flowing his way? Not even getting to wet his beak a little?

Cruz’s latest reporting to the FEC, thanks to Alfredo at the Dairy Queen, had a whopping $156,185.72 in digital revenue sent to his Truth and Courage PAC. That plus the last reporting period gives an aggregate sum of $370,938.70.

Not bad for a podcast.

And not that a cool 370 large is chicken feed, but wait until The Convicted Felon hears about what Sheldon Adelson’s widow, Dr. Miriam Adelson did for Cruz’s PAC.

Yep. Seven figures. A cool million from The Las Vegas Sands…er…a successful medical practice…that did NOT go to TFG, even after The Former Guy decorated Dr. Adelson with a Medal of Freedom.

What’s a corrupt grifting former President to do? You hand out these hunks of metal and they repay you by donating to one of your former opponents whose dad helped kill JFK?

And that is the best thing I can say about Ted Cruz’s grift: at least TFG didn’t get it.
