<p>Pro-theocracy GOP candidate Ted Cruz is off to a great start, having already raised over $50 million since his campaign launch three months ago. This figure comes close only to the $60+ million raised by Hillary Clinton&rsquo;s supporters and her PACs. ;</p>
<p>In just three short months, individuals and outside spending groups have donated $51 million towards the Texas Senator&rsquo;s campaign. Cruz seeks to up that amount by meeting with wealthy Republican donors like Sheldon Adelson, the casino magnate. ;</p>
<p>While his pocketbook grows, Cruz is taking some criticism from fellow candidate Chris Christie, who said Monday on the Fox program &ldquo;America&rsquo;s Newsroom&rdquo; that he &ldquo;didn&rsquo;t need to be lectured by Ted Cruz&rdquo; about &ldquo;Republican-on-Republican violence.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>Christie, although long-time friends with Donald Trump, took issue with the billionaire&rsquo;s recent comments about illegal immigrants and was surprised when Ted Cruz responded to the same comments by stating that he wasn&rsquo;t going &ldquo;to engage in the media&rsquo;s game of throwing rocks and attacking other Republicans.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Christie takes exception that &ldquo;the guy who put together a group that was sponsoring primary ads against Senator Lamar Alexander is giving us &ndash; the rest of us &ndash; lectures on Republican-on-Republican violence. I mean, all due respect, I don&rsquo;t need to be lectured by Ted Cruz.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Christie doesn&rsquo;t appreciate the inconsistency and hypocrisy evident in Cruz&rsquo;s behavior, adding that he really admires Senator Alexander. ;</p>
<p>As to his opinion on Trump&rsquo;s controversial comments, &ldquo;I think that&rsquo;s what he would expect, he tries to evoke reaction, that&rsquo;s part of who Donald is, I&rsquo;ve known him for a long time, and I consider him a good friend, but on this one we disagree. I think those comments are inappropriate, and I think when you&rsquo;re running for president, you have an obligation to answer some of that stuff, and we do.&rdquo;  ;</p>
<p>Christie believes that Cruz&rsquo;s talk on Republican-on-Republican violence is his way of trying to deface the competition. ;</p>
<p>Christie went on to talk about the nuclear deal, saying that it was the Obama administration&rsquo;s &ldquo;single biggest disaster&#8221; and claiming that Obama &ldquo;cares [more] about his legacy than anything else at this point.&rdquo; ;</p>
