I'm a staunch Trump supporter who lives in Indiana, I have a really bad feeling about Tomorrow. I was listening to an AM station out of Fort Wayne, they're firmly in the Ted Cruz camp. They were talking about how Ted and Pence we're criss crossing the state today, seriously, the schedule is insane, the wives are also criss crossing to a different set of towns.
Sadly, a lot of folks in Indiana are none to bright and what I'd call followers, they basically fall for the MSM stuff easily.Clearly Pence is on board with the GOP establishment, why else would he endorse a candidate that is already mathematically eliminated? If Pence says he's okay, then that's enough for a lot of people here. Hell, I'd bet half of the voters don't even know Ted's eliminated already.
Anyway, the buzz here is non stop Cruz. Also, the ads on TV have been hammering Trump all weekend, I have not seen a single ad by Trump against Cruz? The polls for the most part have it very close, and like I said, folks here pretty much do as their told. I do not have a good feeling about tomorrow at all, in fact, I am preparing for bad news. Hoping and praying for a Trump victory of course, but more than worried.
Bingo! This primary isn't the end all the media is portraying it as. Either way, the campaign will continue and Cruz will not suspend, regardless of the outcome.
What I've been watching are some interesting trends in the polls (and I hate long term polls). Seemingly, the more Cruz attacks, the better the trends are in a Trump vs. Clinton match up.
Cruz (to me) is becoming more offensive everyday. Even though he may be very legally smart, he's a terrible campaigner, which seems to be helping Trump nationally.
I still think the last shoe to drop will be an announcement that Cruz will contemplate a Third Party run.
That's an excellent point. I rarely watch the news on TV but last Tuesday night, I decided to turn it on and flip between CNN and FoxNews for the election coverage of the Acela primaries. As soon as I turned it on, I got a pit in my stomach because everybody seemed to be down on Trump's chances to win the nomination and segment after segment was playing down his chances to get to the 1,237. I figured that they must have access to exit polls that were not favorable to Trump.
Then at 8PM, we learned that Trump won landslides everywhere. It didn't fit the pre-result narrative at all.
Yeh Cruz can always fill up a 65 seat diner. LOL!
Bob Dull went non-stop at the end, but he didn’t mean it!
Are they THAT desperate that they'd Perot the election to Hillary??
Ted couldn’t run in TX on a third party without waiting until 2020, and he is a man in a hurry.
I really hope Trump wins Indiana; hopefully it will finally shut Rush Limbaugh up!
Just a guess on my part. But, I do believe there’s an element in the Stop Trump movement that truly would prefer Clinton to Trump. Then we have Cruz refusing to say if he’d support Trump yesterday.
Conclusion? Yes, they are that desperate.
I think Trump sweeps the rest of the way now. After last Tuesdays sweep, even people, like myself, who don’t like Trump are starting to line up behind him as the nominee. He’s too close now to clinching and Cruz has no chance other than a contested convention. A contested convention will seal defeat for whoever the nominee is.
So even people who don’t like or trust Trump are realizing he needs to be backed by them for the sake of stopping Hillary.
Trump will probably win tomorrow by 10% or so.
The big chick is hiding the fact that the floor of back of the gym is vacant. Zoom in.
Well, yah it is because already IN was the only place where he could hope to deny Trump the magic number (it was of course a lie: Trump gets to 237 with WV, NJ, NM, and even a very, very modest percentage of the CA vote). But with IN, he will be at about 1150 with WV and NJ meaning he’d only need to score half the CA delegates to win-—and that doesn’t count the NM, OR, WA races or the races everyone thought would be 100% Cruz, but which now may well not be (MT, SD, NE).
My sense is the guy who started this thread is a troll and is looking to dispirit Trump voters.

His posting history says otherwise. I think he’s just getting dispirited by hearing the non-stop anti-Trump crap in his state.
Trump-a-licious, can I recommend you stay away from the media until after tomorrow. If you need news, simply come to FreeRepublic. BTW, you might also want to avoid Rush Limbaugh; he’s got his head so far up Cruz’s butt, he can’t see daylight.
“It’s amazing how much influence broadcast media has over us, isn’t it?”
There’s a reason 95% of all media and United States is owned by less than six corporations. Big-money knows that there’s big money in controlling the masses. Americans need to pass some laws where broadcasters cannot be owned by conglomerates like GE and Disney and cannot be foreign owned period.
I spent a week last year in Michigan City, Indiana visiting a friend I grew up with in Montana and he and everyone he knew were armed to the teeth and almost pre-revolutionary even then. Being a city with the Indiana State prison might have had something to do wit it. They made Texans I know look moderate.
We’ll see!
Biggest difference between Trump and other candidates was they were holding rallies in restaurants, bakeries and small hotel meeting rooms while Trump was holding rallies in stadia with thousands of seats.
BTW...every, and I mean every commercial break on radio and TV featured at least 4 anti-Trump ads.
Trump is campaigning also in the state. I believe Bobby Knight will be with him today.

I think this is why the MSM like calling races before polling places close. To convince those who haven’t voted not to waste their vote.
I guess I’m in the not to bright category. Even though the MSM isn’t my voter guide. I thought they counted votes tomorrow. Still haven’t decided who I’m voting for. I would definitely vote for Pence if he was running.
