Ted Cruz's Indiana plan: Throw everything at the wall and see what sticks
CNN ^ | April 28, 2016 | Theodore Schleifer and Eric Bradner

Posted on 04/28/2016 2:29:16 PM PDT by monkapotamus

Cruz allies and people close to the campaign describe a budding sense of gloom, with internal polls diving as Trump mounted even stronger than expected showings in his native northeast. In Indiana, which Cruz backers once believed they were favored to win after his strong defeat of Trump in Wisconsin, Cruz's numbers have fallen precipitously: Once leading, Cruz now trails in the state by eight to 10 points, according to a person who has seen the numbers, with Trump over the 40% mark. Cruz's campaign did not respond when asked about those figures...

I’m so damned tired of winning.

I wish Trump would stop it!

“Cruz must have signed her up for the California contest,”

Problem is, she is hated in California. Cruz on crack: )

Trump won’t even need Indiana, but he will carry it.

She lost here in her bid to be California’s Senator.

She isn’t well liked here.

I think it was a dumb move.

She sucks everyone in with her charming stories of success at Hewlett Packard. I never bought into it. Folks have to really stretch things to make her look good.

I used to think the Cruzer was a smart guy and a lousy politician.

After Glenn Beck, and Snarly Carly, I’m wondering about the first part.

Cruz sure does more than his share when it comes to fueling the dominant entertainment media depiction of the modern white Republican conservative as an awkward, oblivious asshat.

Exactly!

Heck, he could have picked Meg Whitman. Same difference.

At least Meg had a decent rep.

She’s also as big a RINO as Fiorina.

“She sucks everyone in with her charming stories of success at Hewlett Packard”

She created 10,000 jobs in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. More employees there than in Silicon Valley. I lived there(KL), and actually saw the operation.

Manufacturing

sales

Marketing

assembly

all done there.

LOL

On the one hand you have Trump that promises to bring jobs back.

On the other side you have someone proud of moving thousands of jobs off-shore.

Yeah, that’s going to catch on like wild-fire Fiorina/Ted.

Fiorina/Tead 2016

Not a welcome source on FR, but cannot disagree with this analysis.

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2016/04/carly_fiorina_ted_cruz_s_unfathomable_choice_for_vice_president.html

There is one way in which Fiorina makes perfect sense as a means of quickly and acutely shifting the political terrain before Indiana votes. It essentially involves using Fiorina as bait for Trump.

If the Cruz campaign is lucky, the Fiorina selection will provoke Trump into saying or doing something egregiously sexist before May 3. For Trump, the only thing standing between him and the nomination may be his ability to avoid that simple trap. Will he be able to do it?

Yes Trump will be able to do it. I don’t think he will even need Indiana, but he will take it anyway.

PS Carly is not liked in the Silicon Valley

Well so far it isn’t working. Trump has mentioned Snarly, but didn’t get personal.

He called her a nice lady.
