Republican presidential candidate seeks help from governors and former rivals to stop Donald Trump in Indiana’s primary.
Sen. Ted Cruz, in a last-ditch effort to derail Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, is trying to marshal support from governors, former rivals and other anti-Trump Republicans in advance of the make-or-break primary in Indiana Tuesday.
With polls showing him lagging behind the New York businessman in the Hoosier state, the Texas senator talked up the somewhat equivocal support he received from Indiana Gov. Mike Pence on Friday.
Mr. Pence said on an Indianapolis talk-radio show that he would vote for Mr. Cruz because he is “a principled conservative who has dedicated his career to advocating the Reagan agenda.” But then, Mr. Pence added, “I particularly want to commend Donald Trump, who I think has given voice to the frustration of millions of working Americans.”

It's too late to get on the ballot. The Greens and Libertarians have ballot access but they're not going to nominate a GOP reject.
So will Cruz maybe, finally drop out after he loses Indiana?The media needs to tell a story until the end of primary season so the Cruz story will be kept alive no matter how ridiculous it looks.
Will the media at last acknowledge Trump has won, or will they say "yep, Kasich has Trump one-on-one now!"?
How many “last stands” does Cruz get ? This is ridiculous and that idiot, phony Levin is pushing this nonsense to help Hellary
Teddies “last stands”, are like Obama’s “line in the sand”... they mean nothing... less than a mirage.
This guy will be measuring for curtains in the Oval Office 6 months after The Donald takes the oath of office from a Supreme Court Justice in Washington DC...
Teddy is so confused, he took the oath from a Supreme Idiot Jester who was crying out “the rising prophet” while bawling his eyes out... aka “Stabby the Clown” Supreme Idiot Jester...
No doubt ...this whole Cruz/Face Lift thing is laughable ..who in their right mind thinks that this bizarre duo can win ?
Wouldn’t it be funny if Trump taps Perry for VP?
For Ted Cruz, Indiana is Custer’s Last Stand.
“Gentlemen! Start Your Injuns!” ;-)
bingo.
If he gives up... I suspect a fate awaits him that to him, is worse than living in Canada in his new exile home.
Is it just me, or do Trump’s peaks keep getting higher and higher?
yes he is.
I would place the odds at over 60 percent.
He should surrender nobody is proposing to shop off his head if he does not
His secret behaviors are probably being used to blackmail him for every dime that can be extracted from him.
Fiorina got him for 500,000.00... does no one wonder why?
political blackmail.
Cruz already went through the Alamo - there are no last stands for him to make.
The fact Lyin’ Ted sealed his records (ala Comrade Obamatollah) speaks volumes and is indicative he was hiding the truth.
If he does run for Senate again, he will be forced to show those records to have any credibility so I doubt if he ever runs for office again.
cruz beats Trump as best actor!
Trump was only doing reality tv show, Cruz was and still is acting to help destroy USofA
The GOPe and Ted Cruz are going to steal Indiana.
Phony push poll showing Cruz ahead
The addition of Snarly
the Pence endorsement, although he was forced to do it by GOPe
Now why do you think that Pence would have anything to gain by endorsing a candidate who is unpopular and has no way to win on the first ballot?
Answer: Because they promised him funding for his own campaign and they promised him that Lyin’ Ted was going to get the win in Indiana.
Pence knows the deal, he knows they are going to commit fraud, but he is owned by the GOPe.
TED CRUZ is just fine with cheating and fraud to win.
Helluva rotten person is TED CRUZ.
He should ! Texas’ standing in the country will suffer if it retains him. If Cruz gets re-elected, Texas will have two worthless turds for their Senators.
Lyin' Ted is even lyin' to himself.
it really doesn’t matter what they do it’s all over for them anyway even if they don’t know it or their leaders like Mark Levin and Glen Beck won’t tell them...
