This new Indiana poll is very bad news for the ‘Stop Trump’ movement

The poll gives Trump a 15-point lead in the state. Even if the poorly laid plans of Ted Cruz and John Kasich had come to fruition and Kasich had vanished from the scene, Trump would still lead Cruz...

Part of the reason Trump still beats Cruz one-on-one is that Indiana Republicans think that the clumsy attempt at an alliance between Cruz and Kasich was, in short, dumb. Nearly six in 10 disapproved of the ploy, which lasted about four hours...

“The good thing about CRUZ staying in is it does not officiality declare yet Trump the winner of the Republican primaries. Works for a while because it blunts the all out attack coming from the press and Democrats that would be going off now on Donald ifnthere were not a Kasich or Cruz.

The two stooges do serve a purpose.”

Excellent point! Hadn’t thought about that...but, do you think that overrides delaying the party unifying behind Trump? That is the question I am pondering.

[Bogie]

That's what I was thinking too. Even the unbelievers on the political left will do a flip.

Trump already said that running against "corrupt Hillary" will be a lot of fun.

“I picture a future for Cruz, dressed in robe and slippers, leafing thru his scrapbook, and holding cabinet meetings with his stuffed animals.”

You nailed it!!!

[Ted Grant]

The ever loving Trump! Trump! Trump!

I have noticed that over the last two months or so a number of ardent Ted Cruz supporters seem to have disappeared.

For instance Cincinnatus Wife among others that don’t post anymore, the only one I still see is 2nddivisionvet. So where did all the others go???????????

These people have been in politics for so long doing dumb things that they cannot even imagine doing a sensible thing. This is why Trump is scalping them. They are intellectual dwarfs.

Can’t wait to hear who the genius was behind this cruz kasich alliance

Is this the same poll I just saw on my facebook from Trump? Viz: Good news! Thank Heavens, the long campaign for the nomination of the Next President of the United States is over and The True Choice, Donald Trump and the voice of the base, has won. Basically, Ted Cruz ran an ugly, dirty and disgusting campaign. His attacks on Trump were like the attacks and lies on our police. Lyin' Ted always started it, and it was always phony and bizarro. But now we can concentrate on Hillary and not this frog sitting on the toad stool of the "never Trump" treachery and their termites and stink bugs. Anyway, a frog isn't even a toad anyway, there was no way the Cruz frog who thought he was a toad would get away with this treachery because the base is watching for both the frogs and the toads. Well, now that the frog who would have been a toad is back in the water sloshing his way to the shoreline reeds, and the Kingfisher Trump is perched proud and gazing over the watery domain from the eucalyptus, let Trump begin his pincher movement on Hillary. As for me, I want to see the stink bug Mark Levin get his commence.

I was thinking of Cruz votes cast before Trump did so well last Tues. - votes Trump can never get now.

Every time a NBC/WSJ poll is posted, we get dozens of replies about how they are totally unreliable, biased, push-poll, etc. What’s different about this one I wonder?

[Robert DeLong]

That’s why the Left calls themselves the artistic and intellectual crowd.

Don't forget their other clever slogan: FDT (B)uck Donald Trump

[COBOL2Java]

After Cruz loses Tuesday he will pick his Cabinet.

I really, really hope that Trump wins.

At this point, not because he’s my favorite. But if he loses when it’s mathematically infeasible to lose - I know the next thing that we must do to set things right.

And I really, really don’t want to take to the streets against americans.

The math is just about settled - With is own winning in the GOP (The party that fights him more than the enemy (sic)) compared to the losing numbers that Hillary is pulling and the DNC’s commitment to her over Bernie..

If Hillary gets the oval office, we will know without a doubt that its’ been rigged. The numbers at that point just may not work out in her favor.

Be vigilant folks, talk to others about this. The numbers may not be there for a Hillary president and they certainly aren’t there for a Bernie presidency.

[BigEdLB]

What is doubly delicious is that this is an NBC poll. No fan of DT. LOL

[LS]

LOL.

[Optimom]

Heartened by this poll; but what about that other poll showing Cruz up by 16? Go Trump!

[Shugee]

Carly’s purpose was to gather one of her famous one week bumps for Cruz.
It didn’t happen and people find it mostly odd...

You know what else is odd - it’s Carly’s Nancy Reagan act. She went from Ted’s tiger mom straight to demure admirer (hands in lap, eyes on Ted, speaking when spoken to, quiet inside voice) in mere days. What a fake.

[Optimom]

It’s the IPFW/Downs Center poll.

[Williams]

Yeah!!!

[Company Man]

it blunts the all out attack coming
