Can Cruz Raise Large Amounts from Small Donors?

Mark Halperin: “What is not known: what kind of grassroots email and mailing lists does Cruz have and how potent will they be to raise small donations (such as those from donors who can give again and again all cycle)? With the exception of Rand Paul and his father, no one in the Republican Party has shown an Obama-like capacity to raise money this way in a nomination fight. Cruz just might.”

New York Times: “By becoming the first candidate to declare himself officially in the race, Republicans briefed on his strategy said, Mr. Cruz hopes to reclaim the affection and attention of those on the party’s right wing who have begun eyeing other contenders, particularly Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin.”
