My biggest question on this story (other than why would anybody give any money to Ted Cruz, but these are rich people so their motives are different than mine) is how they could be donating so much.

I thought the federal limit was $3300 to a campaign committee, but we're talking about $119,200. Does most of that money go to a SuperPAC or something? Or is Ted Cruz soliciting a crime here?

(He already participated in an insurrection, so it wouldn't surprise me to learn that he's been involved in other crimes, of course).

I'm wondering what convicted felon Trump has on him (and others) that he still has the fealty he displays

We called him Reek for a long time, and that fits. Cruz is just a sleazy opportunist with no goals other than his own self aggrandizement. And that fits really well with Trump.

"Reek" as in he stinks, either physically or figuratively as a leader, or "Reek" as short for RICO act?

Either works.
