Ted Cruz went on Mark Levin's show to complain that Mitch McConnell's Senate Leadership Fund PAC isn't doing anything to help him in his tough battle against Colin Allred. Cruz complained that Mitch's PAC refused to help him with his race, while the Senate Democrats' PAC is spending millions to help Allred.
"We are in the middle of a full-on battle. Chuck Schumer has been explicit - I'm his number one target. They are spending $100-150 million trying to beat me ... For 3 months they've been running attack ads nonstop. I just got up on TV three weeks ago. It's not that I didn't want to be on TV three months ago, we didn't have the money .. and poll after poll shows this as a one point race."
Ted blamed McConnell as the primary reason why he doesn't have any money. When Levin asked him if McConnell's PAC has spent any money on his race, Ted replied, "Not a penny." Ted then complained that Mitch did this to him before in 2018 and it almost cost him the election:
"In 2018 I was facing at the time what was at the most expensive senate race in U.S. history. I was being outspent 3-1. Mitch McConnell spend zero dollars to defend Texas. He spent $300 million elsewhere, but not a penny in Texas. This time that PAC has $400 million and they have spent zero (on my race)."

(9,426 posts)The Turtle has no real reason to help Ted Cruz. This is probably his last term in the Senate. Ted hasnt been that loyal or trustworthy an ally in the Senate. And as much as I hate to admit it, he probly thinks that there are probably enough Red State voters out there to give Club Pachyderm a senate majority even if Ted Cruz goes down to defeat.
