It All Comes Down to Indiana
Yahooooooooooo ^ | 5/2/16 | Zeke Miller

Posted on 05/02/2016 11:32:51 AM PDT by TangledUpInBlue

Cruz, who trails by as much as 15 points in recent surveys is betting it all on the state, amid a fundraising crunch and an exhausting schedule. His hail Mary selection of a running-mate before the primary, combined with the backing of the state’s governor, Mike Pence, could help narrow the gap in the final days—or, like most traditional endorsements, fall by the wayside in the year of Trump. Trump, meanwhile, is growing confident about his chances, predicting a swift end to the fighting. If Trump pulls off another win, he’ll be on a clear path to winning 1,237 delegates before the convention.

It’s over already. Ted is playing for extra innings and giving Hillary ammo in November

Unfortunately, Trump as the nominee gives Hillary plenty of ammo in November.

Well currently the delegate count is:

Trump: 1,002
Cruz: 572

Here’s my worst case for Trump in the upcoming primaries, including IN:

IN : 25
WV: 24
NB: 0
OR: 16
WA: 20
CA: 90
MT: 0
SD: 0
NM: 12
NJ: 51

This ads up to 238 for Trump, added to the 1,002, it puts him over at 1240.

Best case is:

IN: 45
WV: 28
NB: 0
OR: 20
WA: 24
CA: 130
MT: 0
SD: 0
NM 16
BJ: 51

That’s 314 added to his 1,002 and he is way over at 1,316

We will just have to wait and see. If Trump were to pull out any one of the three NB, SD, or MT, then he wins in any case by just that much more.

But a slam dunk tomorrow should silence Cruz...whether he elects to go on or not, IN is really there last fire wall to even have any chance of stopping Trump. As I say, I do not think it will matter even if Trump does as poorly as I show in the worst case.

Indiana—The latest in the series of “It All Comes Down to . . .” states.

California, I think, is next.

High on my list of phrases I thought I’d never hear in my lifetime is “It All Comes Down to Indiana”.

Usually the only way we can make the papers is a tornado or passing a law protecting religious freedom.

Every election to date has resulted in laments regarding our poor voter turnout. Up to now these races have been a forgone conclusion by the time we have a voice. I suspect it’ll be different this year.

I think Republicans have given Hillary plenty of ammo already. I think Hillary will beat Trump in a landslide, so everyone get ready to be forced to learn Spanish!

“I think Republicans have given Hillary plenty of ammo already. I think Hillary will beat Trump in a landslide, so everyone get ready to be forced to learn Spanish!”

I would like your straight out prediction to how many votes Trump will get as a percentage of Romneys (especially
Considering Trump in the primary is already ahead of Captain McBoring Romney). I would also like your prediction of what percentage frumpy boring Hillary will get as a percentage of Rock star Super Shiny almost deity like Obunghole got, especially after all the feel the bern moronials feel like they got cheated. Then I want you to compare the ratio of those numbers to the ratio of Romney vs O’Bunghole, and get back to me.

The early voting in Hamilton County has been very heavy for a primary. A result of having an election that matters at the top of the ticket, even though many of the important positions are at the bottom.

You're right, we probably should go with a safe candidate, like Dole, or McCain, or Romney.

Cruz will be stomped tomorrow but he won’t quit. However, I believe his supports will quit attending rallies.

Each Election people are going to get tired of selfish Ted Cruz and his poll will go even lower.

“If Trump pulls off another win, he’ll be on a clear path to winning 1,237 delegates before the convention.”.........

Not if the GOPee has anything to say or do about it. They have lied, cheated, changed the rules and stole delegates already, don’t think for one minute it won’t be attempted again. None-the-less, I do hope Trump pulls his rabbit out of the hat and demolishes Cruz in Indiana.

Why would he be “silenced” when he’s spending someone else’s money?
