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...

“PS Carly is not liked in the Silicon Valley”

Hope that resonates state-wide.

She’s ugly, inside and out. A miserable person.

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


Do you think that when Cruz loses Indiana he will annul his marriage to Kasick and go after Washington and Oregon>?

I think he will which will just be another indication of his duplicitous character.

“duplicitous character.”

After having listened to his audio on Laura Ingraham show this morning, I think Ted has “maxed out” on his duplicitous character. He hit rock bottom today.

I think the Cruz campaign, which never had an original thought, took McCain’s idea of bringing in Sara Palin as a ‘game changer’, and now recycling that loser move. Keep in mind, Carly was part of the McCain campaign, so maybe she was put up as “game-changer-female VP-move” for the Cruzer-Loser.

On another note, both Lyin’ Ted and Carly the Gamechanger use the same ...pause...pause...pause.... halting .....pause...pause...pause... clipped, speech pattern. Their collective style of speech is off-putting, stilted, condescending, always reminiscent of a dramatic parlor reading and ....pause...pause...pause.... annoying.

I was listening in, and was pleased Trump didn’t get personal. Cru-ina DeVille is chomping at the bit to play the Vagina-card.

Not a nice post; she could be a good wife, mother, grandmother. Posts like that are counterproductive.

Ugliness exists inside and out but woe to unjust judges.

Carly is a NWO globalist: Check this out: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/04/27/tripwire-alert-a-desperate-ted-cruz-announces-carly-fiorina-as-running-mate/#more-115515

From HP website:
CARLY FIORINA VISION 2010: U.S. & ARAB ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES U.S.-ARAB ECONOMIC FORUM
SEPTEMBER 29, 2003 DETROIT, MICHIGAN
(snipped)”As we work together, let us remember the example of Muhammad. When the Prophet Muhammad was still a young man, a stone fell from the Ka’ba. In response, the tribes of Mecca quarreled over which one would have the honor of returning it to its place. Rather than choosing one tribe over another, the young Muhammad solved the problem by placing the stone on a cloth so each tribe could hold a corner of the cloth, and all the tribes could lift it together.

May the wisdom of the Prophet Muhammad inspire us this week, and may his wisdom guide the Arab world as it works together to write a new story of the ages for our time.

Thank you for letting us be part of that journey. “

“Not a nice post; she could be a good wife, mother, grandmother.”

She is not running for good wife, mother or grandmother. And she is a public figure who lies like a rug, and her lies hurt people. You need a NEW candidate to flog me with. This one doesn’t help you : )

I know, just looking at that snarkfaced woman with the nasty tongue makes me ill.

I wonder if El Cruzbo ever mentioned Snarly today?

I get to vote for Trump this Tuesday.

Take that FioRINO!

CNN wants a Hillary victory. They’re playing, “Let’s him and you fight” to weaken GOP contenders. We fall for it every time.

Not this time. The great unwashed FINALLY woke up, and boy are they pissed. The Paul Ryan budget capitulation was the final straw methinks.

Yesterday he said Indiana would be his “Alamo,” but his Alamo was New York.
He was destroyed two days ago. His paymasters were hoping he would siphon off more honest delegates, but that fell flat when he came in third.
He sure stole Trump’s thunder with the masterstroke of gaining Snarly’s—drumroll, please—one (1) delegate, striking good looks and sterling reputation.

I expect on May 15th he’ll say, “Oregon is my Rubicon” and on May 23rd, “Washington, it’s my uh, well that’s my `Hot gates. Or Gettysburg. (Whatever. I wasn’t fooling anyone after April 26th.)”

I actually want to see Trump improve his numbers with women so he wins (and we all win). Insulting other women about their appearance is not a winning strategy. I realize he did it once or twice and deem it a mistake. Following that example is a mistake. There are plenty of strategic reasons to ignore Fiorina at this point, or one could ask why is Cruz not her Vice President choice instead ?

Google her relationship with her husband’s children by the marriage that Carly broke up. Not good. Not the wonderful female she wish people thought.
