BURLINGAME, Calif. — Ted Cruz is speaking confidently about knocking off Donald Trump to take the GOP nomination, but his top staffers admit they’re getting nervous.
In interviews, several aides, speaking on the condition of anonymity, expressed growing alarm that Cruz would lose Indiana’s primary on Tuesday — an outcome that would be a major blow to his hopes of holding Trump below the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the GOP nomination on the party convention’s first ballot. The aides concede that, without a win in an Indiana primary where 57 delegates are at stake, Cruz’s shot at the nomination would significantly narrow.
Within the campaign, some are turning to the question of what’s next. One senior aide said there had been no discussion about dropping out before the final primary contests are held on June 7 but noted that Cruz wouldn’t be eager to prolong a campaign he was convinced he couldn’t win.

it took them that long to find enough people to skew the poll within their margin of error. no biggie.
Ted’s campaign is headed for the wood chipper.
| Yes. Lyin' Ted is exposed as Warren Buffet's puppet now, so his usefulness to the Golden Sacks is finished after this election cycle. It's in the Globalist interest to groom new "talent" to their cause, and not spend anymore money on Lyin' Ted. On the Democrat side, the Globalists won big time with Obama and caused 8 years of decay to our free Republic. Obama, too, is a puppet. But he's policies are still seen as consistent with his own political philosophy. He's bought and paid to be sure. Is it any surprise that the two stealth Bushies this election hailed from the two big states of Texas and Florida? So who's the next "consistent conservative" Golden Sachs and Globalists are nurturing? |
Meet Mr. Lyin' Ryan.
I don’t think Cruz is a big drinker but he is an incipient Pillsbury Doughboy. Dude looks like he never exercises.
Not likely voters, just voters, and it took 14 days to poll 400 people, and who in the hell is mike downs?
If you are hoping this out-lier is your salvation, I'll pray for your soul today.
I heard he selected his entire cabinet, and head has frequented Macy’s to selected the China.
The Indy Star is a Gannett owned liberal rag. Of course they pump a loser like Cruz.
You Cruzbots need to tell that sleaze loser and his new girlfriend to get out of the race because those two have no chance to win a general election.
He can’t even get two hundred people at a rally.
It has to be an odious experience listening to Ted and Snarly.
Hope everyone saw the quote in the article where Kasich said he was endorsed by more than 70 newspapers and he “wished it mattered”.
The GOP establishment wants to bring back horse and buggies driven by cheap foreign labor and horses imported from Saudi Arabia—that is their “plan” to make American great. :-(
Or spend a term because of the federal MANN act
Lollypop claims he flew her from Texas to Maryland and rented a car for her to drive to Alexandria VA
This is the IPFW poll already reported in RCP’s average. Note that unlike all the other polls that are for only 1 to 3 days of polling that this one is for 2 solid weeks and accumulates only 400 voters. The article says ‘400 voters across the state from April 13-27”
What does that tell me? It tells me that half of this poll at a minimum was conducted PRIOR TO the New York and the Northeast primary landslides by Donald Trump.
“...an outcome that would be a major blow to his hopes of holding Trump below the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the GOP nomination on the party convention’s first ballot.”
This says so much about Cruz and his flying monkeys. A true American candidate would hope that the will of the voters would be preeminent. For Cruz, it’s (always) all about him, and not about what most of the people want. Let the people vote. Let it play out as it’s meant to. It’s not about blocking.
When Kasich drops out Trump inherits the Ohio delegates
We chewed this poll up and spit it out as useless.
This Mike Jones guy who founded this was a registered Democrat. It is being run through Indiana university, a Liberal organization.
This poll is a biased in every possible way, the outliar of outliars.
It is laughable that you would for a nanosecond consider it credible in any way.
Ok. It IS Politico, but this sure seems true.
If you hadn’t used the derogatory term, “Trumpkin”, I’d have gone to your click bait, expecting possibly to see some valuable information. But when I saw “Trumpkins”, I moved on. Grow up, for Pete’s sake.
Praying that Indiana is not another Wisconsin!!
Just saw a talk show host on Fox and Friends describe that Mark Downs out of Fort Wayne as being reputable!!!
This talk show guy also characterized the Indiana race as a “jump ball” and mentioned that a lot of voters had not made up their minds yet.
Fingers crossed for one rumored to be coming out from NBC, probably this morning on Meet the Press, although they’ll liable to dump another dirty poll in association with the Wall Street Journal. It seems like forever since CNN/ORC conducted any polling.
Cannot wait for Manafort on Face the Nation today, NEED to see him oozing CONFIDENCE about Tuesday!!!!!
The mere thought of having to wait for the split decision on May 10 between West Virginia (for Trump) and Nebraska (for Cruz) coupled with the do-or-die scenario in chaotic CA is literally too much to bear for this Trumpster.
PLEASE INDIANA MAKE CRUZ GO AWAY!!!!
MR. TRUMP NEEDS TO DIRECT ALL OF HIS ATTENTION SQUARELY ON CROOKED HILLARY ASAP!!!!
I heard that Carly and Heidi will be hosting his Inaugural Ball on Wednesday.
Don’t bother. The delusion is strong with this one. Pretty soon it will be . .
