Report: Ted Cruz Prepares for "Somber Speech" Tonight Aide tells AP if Cruz loses, staffing cuts are likely

He has campaigned hard in Indiana, but a report suggests Ted Cruz is not expecting to win.

An aide to the Cruz campaign whose name was not given told the Associated Press that the Republican candidate is preparing for what the aide called a "very somber" speech at his election watch party in Indianapolis tonight. Though Cruz says he will stay in the presidential race even if he loses the Indiana primary to Donald Trump - and despite his public alliance with fellow candidate John Kasich to stop Trump - the aide told the AP that the Cruz campaign was bracing for immediate staffing cuts "at a minimum."

And Jim Robinson’s fault. And Trump supporting Freepers’ fault.

I think its moot per Trump winning the nomination. He has it either way at this point.

Actually I have been hoping for Cruz to drop out earlier for the purposes of unification of the party toward taking on Hilary. And hoping Cruz would salvage his reputation and recover to be a warrior on our side in the future. I am afraid it may be too late for that, but hope its not.

Actually, Trump is now at about 1050, meaning NJ will put him over 1100, and CA will break 1237 without OR, WA, WV, or NM.

Cruz has done immense damage to his reputation, his credibility, and his trustworthiness.

He could have had a Supreme Court seat by running a clean race.

Two months ago most of us had a high opinion of Cruz. Maybe in a couple of years into the Trump Presidency this nasty time will be less raw on our nerves. I don't want people to be perfect on our side. I just want people who will fight the Democrats.

Unifying means trying to drop grudges that have formed between us.

Pappy Cruz has cost his son the White House.
