Why did Ted Cruz give that c*nt 500 thousand dollars?
This is actually old news reported as early as September from a transaction in June of last year . To be technical ,it was one Pac giving money to a rival Pac. That is suspicious in itself....enough so that the FEC sent Cruz' Pac a letter asking for an explanation. I do not know if they complied with the FEC ;but if not then I'm sure the FEC has opened an investigation. It could be as simple as doing a favor to Fiorina that will be repaid at another time. It's common for one candidate to help pay off another's debt if they are going to team up.
The assumption is that this is hush money . But there are other explanations that have been advanced. Kellyanne Conway ,President of 'Keep the Promise' Pac explained that the donation went to Fiorina's Pac because "we thought she had some important things to say that weren't being heard ,including her poignant and effective criticism of Mrs. Clinton,at the time ,the likely Democratic nominee." Now the Carly Pac has been complicit in some dirty tricks like the use of photos of Melania Trump in controversial campaign ads.It could be that Cruz is using Fiorina's resources (and his own $$ donated to Fiorina) to do the dirty work while denying involvement in the gutter campaign. That has been SOP in campaigns in this country from the founding .Jefferson ,Adams both used surrogates while appearing to be above it. Since there is supposed to be no coordination between PACs and candidates ,there is instant deniability
If that was hush money then Fioria is playing her part to the T . She campaigns with Cruz and supports his candidacy . There has been talk that she would be his Veep choice if he won the nomination.That also makes sense since Fiorina's campaign from the start looked like a VP run.

Not a bad explanation.
The PAC's donors (or donor) may have had their own agenda. The hired guns who run the PAC's day-to-day operations don't just to keep the money when the candidate drops out. I don't think any of the PAC's ever return the money to the donor(s) but I think they are expected to use it as the donor(s) direct them to.
How these PACs operate in these various situations is something not well understood by the public.

Paying down debt is a good way to get an endorsement (which Cruz did) or to get the dropout candidate to swing their delegates over.
30,274 voters responded to our online poll asking if the the ongoing Ted Cruz sex scandal is true or not.
At the time of posting 65% (19,678) of voters think Ted Cruz did have an affair while 35% (10,595) say Cruz did not have an affair. Is the #CruzSexScandal real? What do you think?
It is now 42,355 and 69% think Little Ted misbehaved.
Regardless of what the facts may be, Cruz has a perception problem.
