Is Indiana the last stand for Ted Cruz?
BBC ^ | May 2, 2016 | Anthony Zurcher

Posted on 05/02/2016 10:44:04 PM PDT by Trump20162020

Indiana was supposed to be where Ted Cruz stopped Donald Trump's recent east coast winning streak. Like Horatius at the bridge, the Texas senator would turn back the Trump throng.

Instead the primary on Tuesday could prove his final undoing.

A Monday afternoon campaign event in the tiny town of Marion, Indiana (population 29,000) gave a taste of what Mr Cruz is up against.

It was supposed to be a feel-good gathering, the candidate's first public appearance with Mike Pence since the Indiana governor had thrown his support to the Texan last week.

That was before a small knot of Trump supporters began heckling Mr Cruz from across a street.

"Lyin' Ted!" they shouted, echoing a favorite Trumpian insult.

"Do the math!" they taunted, in reference to the insurmountable deficit Mr Cruz faces in the all-important convention delegate count.

Pennsylvania was his true last stand. Indiana is the Sioux hunting down any survivors after Custer led them into a trap

Bottom line: No one is listening to Cruz any more.

For Ted Cruz, Indiana is Custer’s Last Stand.

Last stand?

Pfft.

Teddy cares more for the one-night stand.

Sorry, my comment was dumb. Cruz going over to them is very different then them running up to Cruz and getting in his face. Puts the exchange in a much better light for the Trump supporters.

The first picture I saw in the media was from behind Ted, making it look like they had come up to him while he was speaking.

Marion has been devastated by the loss of GM several years ago. Pretty crappy town, but making a bit of a comeback.

I’ve bought a couple of guns at a pawn shop/gun shop there

GM is still here. But, we are still a depressed area.

Isn’t that the same expression she always has on her face? Is she physically able to change it?
