FORT WORTH, Texas _ When Ted Cruz of Texas ran for Senate in 2012, he did so with the help of a conservative grass-roots movement fueled by small-dollar donors eager to oppose the president at every turn.
This time around, Cruz says it's his Democratic opponent who is benefiting from the energy of a burgeoning political movement _ while his own campaign seeks help from GOP allies with ties to the party establishment's money.
National Republicans are still raising plenty of money for their efforts to hold House and Senate majorities this fall _ an effort that now includes the incumbent Cruz.
