Texas against Ted Cruz gofundme has the $$ to post this billboard when Trump campaigns for Cruz


@davidhogg111, 2hr
We did it!!!!! Thank you to everyone who contributed.

President Donald Trump will be campaigning to help Sen. Ted Cruz win his re-election. A rally is being planned, according to Trump "at the biggest stadium in Texas." We are planning to display the presidents own words about Cruz from 2016 on a mobile billboard, to remind Texans of the truth.

This is a joint effort in collaboration with Claude Taylor and David Hogg. The money raised by this account will go towards funding the mobile billboard to maximize visibility and impact.

Please consider donating. Every dollar counts. Texans deserve better.

I wholeheartedly approve of this type of petty trolling of Cruz (or any Republican for that matter). LonePirate Sep 2018 #1

Several months of a billboard could cost much more than that, pnwmom Sep 2018 #17

At this point, many people understand that he lies all the time, and even the Deplorables know that he lies sometimes. So for the Deplorables, they simply figure that he was lying back in 2016 when talking about Cruz. Or that he changed his mind. Or that he is simply adapting to a changing environment - he's not campaigning against Cruz now, you know.

The Deplorables simply don't care what Hair Furor said about Cruz back in 2016.

The goal is to get a % of Trumpers and undecideds-who-favor-Trump to stay home cause they think Trump dislikes Cruz ... hell, there's probably easily at least 20% of people in TX with no idea which party Cruz is even in ... when you're dealing with a race THIS close, just getting a few % of Trumpists to fail to show up to the polls for whatever reason ... could decide the race ...

Hell, 80,000 out of 370,000,000 sicced us with Trump, remember that ...

I’m sorry if Trump would have said/done the things he did to hell even my ex-wife. Ugh, I mean where is the fortitude to stick up even for you own damn family. God Cruz creeps me the f out.
