Coming soon to Team Cruz in Indiana: Jeb Bush and/or Mitt Romney?
HotAir ^ | April 20, 2016 | Allahpundit

He won’t be alone. There is preliminary talk of Cruz assembling a high-profile team of GOP surrogates and bringing them to Indiana, according to sources familiar with the Cruz campaign’s internal deliberations. The goal would be to project unprecedented party unity against Trump with a roster of supporters that, in addition to familiar faces such as Walker and Carly Fiorina, could include Jeb Bush or even Mitt Romney.

Is that what last night’s surprisingly upbeat Cruz speech was about? Sounding more like a traditional general-election candidate in order to encourage establishment Republicans to unite with him now? In any case, per Alberta, Cruz and his team are all-in in Indiana — both the campaign and pro-Cruz Super PACs are planning an all-out GOTV effort to try to blunt Trump’s momentum after his inevitable big wins in the east next week, and some outside groups are planning ads in the state to try to drive Trump’s numbers down. Emphasis on “some,” though. The later it gets in the campaign, the less cash there is from big donors to go around. A few more big wins by Trump in the mid-Atlantic might even convince some anti-Trump donors that Cruz’s cause is lost, which will damage the Indiana effort. Another X factor for Cruz is that Indiana doesn’t have the same anti-Trump talk-radio establishment that Wisconsin did to drive right-wing opinion against him.

If Cruz thinks those two will help then he is no political genius.

It’s over. Those of us who have supported Cruz have to recognize this although we can’t like it, at least I can’t.

“familiar faces such as Walker and Carly Fiorina”

He needs Carly by his side in case he’s asked again about his infidelities.

A vote for Cruz is now nothing but a vote for a contested convention and chaos. If that is what Romney, Jeb and Cruz want then they are all selling us out to the Democrats, because that is what a contested convention really means.

Cruz is going to have his team of endorsers and Trump will have his.

I doubt either is really going to showcase Bush or Romney. Jeb and Mitt may be there in spirit but not in the flesh, or if they are there they'll be in the back row.

The media like to cough up familiar names because they generate buzz and hits. That doesn't actually mean that Cruz thinks Mitt or Jeb would help him or that he'd be willing to put them front and center.

Ted Cruz, Mitt Romney & Jeb Bush........three of the worst GOP Establishment losers. LOL Indiana, support & vote only for Donald J. Trump in your upcoming GOP POTUS Primary. A vote cast for Ted Cruz or John Kasich is a wasted vote!!!

Seeing the “outsider” who used to talk of the Washington Cartel campaigning with them will be icing on the cake.

Romney, Bush and Cruz will lick the toads in Bush’s pocket,
under the guidance of Bad-governor RomneyCARE,
as Cruz chants to his rats, who will assemble and
bow to Willard.

They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you

Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got

Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around
So let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

Ted Cruz dodges question about whether he's 'always been faithful' to his wife as endorser Carly Fiorina leaps in to insist a declaration that he's not an adulterer is a 'dance to Donald Trump's tune'

Will he copulate with the rats before or after he chants to them, or both?
