Ted Cruz has been chastised by the FEC three times this election cycle for exceeding donation limits.  Three. That’s not a common thing. Only three other senate candidates have received an excessive contribution notice and those three only received one notice. Reminder: Ted Cruz has three.

Local Texas newspapers have taken note of this – but what with all this fake news and stuff, there’s no telling if any Republicans even read the newspaper.

My guess is that this has something to do with it. The Houston Chronicle did not mince words.

Campaigns have become aggressive in signing up monthly donors to create a steadier stream of funding. On President Donald Trump’s campaign website, donors are given the option of checking a box to make their one-time donation or a monthly contribution.

Cruz has a similar feature on his website, but with a key difference. Instead of giving people the chance to opt-in to a monthly donation by checking a box, supporters are automatically enrolled in monthly donations unless they un-check a box.

Ted Cruz is slicker than an eel dipped in axel grease, Honey.

By the way, his opponent, who has out-raised him $13 million to $9 million hasn’t exceeded limits even once.

(The Houston Chronicle has the best story on this.)

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
