Washington Post: “Cruz’s un­or­tho­dox campaign has hit on a fundraising formula that no other candidate has been able to match: raising millions from a robust base of grassroots supporters while also building a substantial network of rich backers.”

“The senator’s quiet fundraising prowess could help give him staying power in what is sure to be a hard-fought battle for the GOP nomination.
