Cruz seeks donations for Walker

GOP presidential hopeful Ted Cruz gave former rival Scott Walker an assist Monday, tweeting support for the Wisconsin governor as he attempts to retire his presidential campaign debt.

Walker has withheld his sought-after endorsement since ending his campaign for the GOP nomination race in September. Cruz's tweet, including a link to a donations page for Walker, suggests he's seeking Walker's support.

“#CruzCrew - I stand with my friend @ScottWalker & hope you will too!” the Texas senator wrote. Walker thanked him in response.

Walker had $982,513 at the end of September, but he had more than $1.6 million in debt, according to his latest Federal Election Commission report. He’s been seeking contributions to officially close the books, offering a “limited edition lapel pin” for donations or $30 or more.

Politico, quoting a source close to Walker, reported in November that Sen. Marco Rubioasked for Walker’s endorsement in late October, but Walker told him he would not announce support for a candidate until after the start of 2016.

How the fukk did this idiot go in debt when his campaign only seemed to last like 5 weeks, and he did most of his work in Iowa which is a bus ride away from his day job?

How Scott Walker spent $90,000 a day to lose an election

The Washington Post said:
When Scott Walker dropped out of the presidential race late last month because he could no longer afford to continue, many of his fundraisers and supporters were stunned. They couldn't believe the candidate had burned through so much money so quickly.

Walker's campaign raised $7,379,170 between July 1 and Sept. 30, according to federal paperwork filed on Thursday. And during that time, they spent $6,393,957 and had bills for $161,133. Given that Walker's campaign lasted just 70 days — from July 13 to Sept. 21 — that means each day cost more than $90,000.

When Walker dropped out of the race, the campaign had nearly $1 million left, although that money will likely go toward paying ongoing contracts, leases and other expenses that can continue even when a campaign stops.

So how does a campaign spend that much money that quickly? For Walker, money went toward a payroll of more than 80, generous paychecks for top staffers, dozens of consultants and vendors who were paid tens of thousands of dollars, and elaborately staged campaign events. For a candidate who bragged on the campaign trail about finding deals at Kohl's and packing sack lunches to save money, the reports show that the campaign spent lavishly even as fundraising dollars began to disappear.

Lotta money to be an unmitigated failure.
