The Most Important Primary Is ... Wait, Indiana?
The New York Times ^ | APRIL 18, 2016 | Nate Cohn

It may be Indiana or bust for Donald Trump.

If the polls are right, he will dominate in New York on Tuesday and in the coming races across the Eastern Seaboard. He could win nearly all of the delegates at stake — keeping him on a narrow path toward the Republican nomination. That would set him up for what will probably be the most important test of the race: Indiana on May 3.

What? We matter? What is a Hoosier to do?

LOL.

That is the same way a LOT of states are feeling right now. So many times the nominee is decided in Feb-March and our votes (I’m in Washington State) don’t matter.

Any state where #NeverTrump has a chance is the most important one. Iowa, Texas, Wisconsin, now Indiana, next month California and Washington. Same script, drop in different names, different delegate totals, different “block Trump from 1237” math.

Indiana if first ballot committed to the popular vote for all delegates. Second ballot, should there be one, would be the personal choice of the delegate. And based on the delegates listed, I know several of them are Cruz supporters (Pence for instance is the wife of Governor Pence). Patricia Miller is my State Rep. I’m pretty sure she is for Cruz.

Were the polls comprised of registered Rs provided by each county? If not, those polls could be off 10% or more as late Oct. was deadline to register with the party in order to vote today.

Man, typically, back when the GOPe had all their ducks in a row; Indiana was a backwater rubber stamp, cause the fix was in.

We live in interesting times.

The MSM is ignoring the fact that Trump will have HUGE leverage once he gets close to even 1100.

People will be BANGING on the door to get into the tent - they will not want to be left outside looking in.

Close primaries are a double edge sword and everyone is missing that.

I don't think there any Cruz states left, the rest get to vote

It doesn’t matter who they are. They are obligated by law to support the winner of the primary in the first vote at the convention. PERIOD.
