Trump: An Indiana win will seal nomination
CNN ^ | May 1, 2016 | Eric Bradner

Indianapolis (CNN) — Donald Trump says if he defeats Ted Cruz in Indiana, he'll seal the Republican presidential nomination.

"Yes, it's over," Trump said on "Fox News Sunday" when host Chris Wallace asked if a win in the Hoosier State Tuesday would end Cruz's chances.

Trump is the front-runner in Indiana, according to a new NBC/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll that shows him leading with 49% compared to 34% for Cruz and 13% for Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Tuesday's primary has 57 delegates on the line.

Trump pointed to Indiana Gov. Mike Pence's endorsement of Cruz, noting that it only came after Pence lavished praise on Trump in an Indianapolis radio show appearance.

He said that Pence "gave me more of an endorsement than he gave Cruz," and said Pence's decision to back Cruz was influenced by "his donors and special interests."

"Most people think it was more of an endorsement of me than it was for Cruz. And it was the weakest endorsement anyone has seen in a long time," Trump said of Pence's endorsement of Cruz.

Trump also dismissed poll numbers that show him struggling with female voters, predicting that Clinton would crater once he's able to focus all of his attention on her.

BTW, Trump di a good job in that interview. He didnt let the little smirking Wallace back him inot a corner.

Cruz is on now, and when asked about Snarlys outsourcing of Jobs at HP, he danced.

It’ll be great to see Carly lose this race twice - perhaps a new record.

Even if Trump comes up a little short of 1237, I think it will be so-close that it will be “a gimme”. Any maneuvering at the convention at that point will cause an ugly backlash. I can see that and I voted for Cruz in the Pennsylvania primary. If Cruz doesn’t win convincingly in Indiana after putting all his chips there, he HAS to concede IMO and support Trump. To do anything else courts disaster.

Her selection was a slap in the face of the laid off workers from Carrier Air Conditioning!!!
Mr. Trump’s laser beam focus on this issue for several ought to make him a hero figure in Indiana. He cares about people!!!

It is a proven fact, everything Carly has any thing to do with, fails: HP; Lucent; her campaign against Boxer; her campaign this time; and now being Cruz’s V.P. and she took him with her...

Couldn’t have been better if it had all been planned out!!!

GO.TRUMP!!!

As I’ve posted on other threads, Lyin’ Ted’s “super intellect” is a myth and exposed by his decisions and who he chooses to be surrounded by in his quest for power.

Lyin’ Ted...just another “convenient conservative”.

As Paul Manafort said: "His dismal losses in the NE primary states
hammered the nails into Cruz's coffin; Indiana will show him he's in it."

Tsk, tsk, tsk...another rough patch for Cruz.

The way that Cruz, the media, the Republican establishment, and, of course, the Democrats, are all cheating wildly, NOTHING will seal the nomination.

He’s already over a thousand.
Add in 51 from NJ and he needs about 180.
Leading in Indiana, Leading in CA.

If he does win tuesday, especially with a significant delegate count, there will be enough available in CA alone to put him over the top.

Add in WV and NM where he is likely to gain significant delegates, and this is all but over.

It’s a math game at this point, and the challengers cannot win through their performance with voters.

And Felito has said that Indiana is his `Alamo’, even though it is over, but now he’s painted himself into a corner.

Joe Dan’s at it again. Another installment of INTELLECTUAL FROGLEGS!
Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and, unless you suffer from ADHD (not likely if you’re on my list), spend an entertaining and enlightening 23 minutes with Sr.Gorman as he corrects the erroneous 411 being dispensed by the MSM about the candidates in the most important election in our lifetimes.
