WASHINGTON, D.C. Consultant Liz Mairs controversial anti-Donald Trump super PAC shares a mailing address with Carly Fiorinas presidential campaign, which just re-launched as a nonprofit.
Fiorina is a Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% supporter.
Mairs PAC Make America Awesome is under fire after it ran a sexist advertisement in Utah featuring Trumps wife Melania, a model, posing nude. The ad encouraged people to vote for Ted Cruz. Mair is open about the fact that she is helping to boost Cruz, though Cruz has denied involvement with the ad.
But how does Make America Awesome make money?
According to the PACs most recent report, filed on February 29, 2016, the group listed only seven donors as having given $200 or more, including consultant Juleana Glover, a former George W. Bush and Bill Kristol employee who now works for Teneo Holdings, an advisory firm linked to Bill Clinton.
The PAC takes money in envelopes at a PO box in Alexandra, Virginia.
If you would like to donate by mail, send checks to: Make America Awesome PO Box 26141 Alexandria, VA 22313, the PACs website states.
The PACs Facebook page also lists its address as PO Box 26141 in Alexandria, Virginia.
That PO box also happens to be the mailing address for Carly for America, which was Fiorinas presidential campaign and just re-launched as a nonprofit organization.
Carly for America was still listed at PO Box 26141 in Alexandria at the time of its last monthly FEC filing on March 20, 2016, according to the Federal Election Commission.
Carly for America Committee listed PO Box 26141 in Alexandria on its FEC public disclosure form on February 26, 2015.
Fiorina sent out an email on March 23 announcing that Carly for America is back, and will help to elect consevative candidates. Fiorina has endorsed Ted Cruz.
Fiorina said in her re-launch email:
First, we will identify principled conservative candidates from outside the political class, who arent afraid of a fight and arent afraid to shake up the status quoand we will introduce them to the American people. Second, we will give them the critical boost they need to win: by campaigning with them, supporting them, and fundraising for them. Anything we can do to make sure they have all the resources they need to amplify their voices, bypass the media and the establishment, and win over voters.
Mair did not return requests for comment for this report.

This is the GOP establishment trying to take down both Trump and Cruz. They are setting these guys up to fight a nasty dirty filthy fight that will take both Cruz and Trump out so they can put in the guy they want.
You have to worry about these candidates helpers that back you from other camps. They just want to harm everyone because their guy got beat.

Fiorina is a posturing actress with the brains of a beanbag. That's why she was fired from HP. She could strut and look the part, but she couldn't do the job or "walk the halls". She is all superficial image and hot air. Now she demands to be accepted as a conservative on the mere basis of being able to say the word.
Cruz also demands to be accepted as a conservative on the mere basis of being able to say the word three times a week before dumb audiences. They, and others like them are turning pursuit of the presidency into a con man playactor's holiday and celabrtion.

Actually, they are just hired guns. Since their candidate failed, they are unemployed unless they start a PAC and start taking in money from various anonymous tycoons (Left or Right) and attack whoever the PAC's backers want to take down or damage. We saw this most recently with Rand Paul's campaign staff that flocked into a PAC and were then joined by Jesse Benton. Hired guns, in the pay of whoever will donate to their attack ads.
