Cruz Vows to ‘Go the Distance’ Ahead of Crucial Indiana Primary

Cruz Vows to ‘Go the Distance’ Ahead of Crucial Indiana Primary

With a pivotal vote in Indiana this week, Ted Cruz is vowing to "go the distance," whatever the outcome of Tuesday's primary.

"It is an incredibly important state," Cruz said of Indiana on ABC's "This Week." "We are competing hard. I hope we do well here. I can tell you I'm barnstorming the state, we're in a bus with my family, we're doing everything we can to earn the votes of the men and women in this state. We're going the distance. We're competing the entire distance.”

Cruz, trailing his main rival Donald Trump by 431 delegates, enters this week after two weeks of losses to Trump in six states. When pressed by ABC News’ Martha Raddatz about whether Indiana is a must win, Cruz would not say. While it is mathematically impossible for Cruz to clinch the 1237 delegates needed to secure the nomination before the Republican convention in July, Cruz says Trump won't get there either.

It looks like Cruz will lose Indiana on Tuesday. Will people continue donating to him, and turning out to vote for him after having lost 7 in a row? I’m sure the pro-Cruz and anti-Trump Super PAC’s will continue spending their money, so I’m guessing Cruz only has to come up with bus fare to and from his events, they way Kasich does.

Of course he HAS to say that now — before the vote in Indiana. I fully expect him to at least suspend if not outright withdraw should he lose there.

He is running for 2020, after Trump has self destructed.

“Can you Cruz supporters not see the narcissist mindset of this guy???”

Can you Trump supporters not see the narcissist mindset of this guy???

I mean come on, are you saying Ted has beaten Donald at narcissism? That’s a mighty high hurdle.

Ted pole vaulted over that hurdle. When has the enormous ego of Donald Trump said that he is anointed by God! When has the enormous ego of Donald Trump had Beck perform a ‘swearing in’ ceremony? Ted Cruz more than out does DT in the narcissist department.

If Ted takes this all the way, saying the pure crap he has been, the Trump majority delegates should keep him out of the convention. Give him no slot to speak and refuse him credentials to get in. Keep his rancid, putrid ass out, he can stew in his own bile back in Texas.

The Vast Majority of Republicans want to start the war with Hillary, but this one f-ing jerk is holding everybody up. This f-ing narcissistic, fringe lunatic, piece of stool, is helping her.

California , Trump is up by over 20 points

Oregon where I thought Kasich might win but Trump is way up.

Third place Ted needs to get out.

I will be interesting if Ted can raise any hard money to fund his campaign and if Mitt Romney can find some Pac money.

“Cruz should fire the VP if he loses. That should solve the problem.”

Exactly. Especially since things were going so well for him until Fiorina screwed it all up.

Can we get back to the REAL issues now?

The only "issue" Cruz ever raises anymore is grossly distorting Trump's position on every issue. "Lying", in other words.

That exchange with Megyn Kelly was comical. Cruz insisted on lying about Donald Trump's position on 0bamacare, and he simply wouldn't let go of his gross distortion.

Megyn Kelly had Cruz on previously, and she remained silent on Cruz's distortions, but the second time around, she wasn't having any of it.

Good for her to show some journalistic integrity for a change.

Vote Trump

“Someone or some organization is telling Cruz to stay the course”

that’s certainly likely. Cruz’s MASSIVE ego is another likely possibility as well.

either way, Cruz’s many character flaws have been exposed during this campaign and it really makes me wonder what his future in politics is. I wonder if, like Rubio, he doesn’t even want a second term in the Senate anyway.

Cruz has a mission, stop Trump.
The Cheap Labor Express cannot allow the citizens to elect a President who enforces the laws and borders.
They must have an amnesty candidate.
It won’t be Ted Cruz.
Ted is their tool for getting there.

Cruz seems to be working for the Bush family.

*****************************

That’s the bottom line and why I will not support him in the future.

Cruz has managed to do ONE thing in this campaign: make Marco Rubio look good!
