Ted Cruz wants his supporters to help pay off Scott Walker's campaign debt

You might recall that Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) ran an almost remarkably short-lived presidential campaign. That might have something to do with the fact that his campaign spending averaged out to more than $90,000 per day.

On Sunday night, Republican presidential pal Ted Cruz urged his supporters to help Walker's campaign pay off its debt.

Perhaps the Texas senator is feeling generous coming off of a strong poll showing. Or maybe Cruz just really wants his supporters to show up to rallies sporting commemorative Walker campaign lapel pins.
