People are donating to Planned Parenthood ‘in honor of’ Cruz and Rubio
By Philip Bump
On Tuesday evening, shortly after Jeb Bush stated that he wasn't sure "we need a half a billion dollars for women's health issues" in the federal budget -- and then backed off -- Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains received a donation.
Twenty-five dollars isn't a lot, but notice the fine print: "Thank you so much for your gift ... in honor of Jeb Bush."
Designer Mike Monteiro, a popular Twitter user whose love of Internet trolling is (or should be) legendary, seized on the idea and encouraged followers to donate in the name of other Republican politicians. One gave in honor of Mike Huckabee, another in honor of Ted Cruz.
Curious about how many donations Planned Parenthood received in honor of 2016 candidates, we reached out to it. The organization's Liz Clark provided us with a breakdown. So, in the money-where-your-mouth-is Republican Trolling Primary, here are the leaders:
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) is included on that list because she led the effort to strip federal funding from the organization.

Stephen King Has Written a Campaign Slogan for Donald Trump
"If you're white, you're all right!"
Stephen King proposed a new slogan for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign Wednesday, and it’s pretty safe to say the bestselling author won’t be voting for The Donald.
“If you’re white, you’re all right!,” begins King’s suggested slogan. “Any other hue, I don’t trust you.” The motto plays on the accusations of racism that have plagued Trump since his campaign launch in June, in which he referred to some illegal immigrants from Mexico as rapists. Although Trump has claimed broad support among the Latino community, polls show otherwise.
Trump currently leads most national Republican polls and will be taking center stage at the first GOP debate Thursday night.
