[…] “In Indiana, Trump is positioned to corral all the [state’s 57] delegates, which will be a big prize toward winning the nomination outright,” says Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. “Clinton and Sanders are more likely to divide the delegate pool, which will do little to change the narrative on the Democratic side.” (link)

Stop whining. You’re not voting for Hillary.
Forgot the /s.
It was a joke.
Don’t worry. Trump will win another lopsided victory, but Cruz will deliver another breathless victory speech, invoking the Constitution, the Rule of Law, Principled Conservatism, the Magna Carta, and other conservative goodies.
Then he will assure his disciples that the campaign is heading into friendlier territory, that he’s the only one that’s beaten Donald Trump time and time again, and that he’s clearly the only one that can defeat Hillary in November.
He single highhandedly opens up new dimensions in asshattery.
Not USA Today, it was a local University based polling group that hasnt polled in years. It was probably carried in USA Today. It is the one outlier that shows Trump behind. The rest show him up single digits with the exception of this one.
George did not look or sound well. He was probably hung over from the WH Correspondents fete last night.
It is exhausting to campaign for a losing cause when you have accepted and already spent the GOPe payoff.
Washington,Nebraska, one of the Dakotas can’t remember which one
If he loses CA, he will try to change the convention rules.
Don’t forget that as soon as it is official that Cruz has lost all 57 delegates, Cruz announces his cabinet.

One of the convention rule changes Cruz will insist on is that all registered Republicans will have to show their general election ballots to make sure Cruz was properly checked off as president.
Cal just posted a pretty lame opus a few threads after this.
Let’s give him/her a big send off
Way-way-way-wait. If it's going to be a three-way split, how could all the delegates go to Trump? Why wouldn't they be divided up according to the percentage of votes each man got?
You mean to say each state gets to make its own rules and a candidate can maximize his delegate yield by playing by them?
(Uh, yes. America is built of autonomous States. So let's cut the whining when there's a difference between the vote share and the delegate share--regardless of which candidate happens to reap the advantage. Deal?)
Subsequently opused himself and rode the lightning. Another asshat who will not be missed.
Cruz’s horse has died he just won’t get off.
You miss one small point.
They are voting in Indiana. It is not a “Voterless” state like Colorado.
The outcome in Indiana, whatever it turns out to be is not rigged.
I already said that Teddy is poised to vote against rule 41. He is after all a cheater, a liar and a no good Canadian Bastard.
I doubt his daddy is his real daddy.
Saw something that said Trump’s up in Nebraska, too.
Are you from Colorado? If you or I don't like it (I'm not from CO, and I prefer primary elections, too), we can move there, join the GOP there, and get them to remake the rules. Or fail in the attempt. Right?
Why should we be allowed to run Colorado's delegate selection from New York or Ohio or Washington, D.C.? It's their state, isn't it? Conservatives accept eccentric differences among the States. Don't we?
They changed the rules a few times, got rid of a primary for a caucus and got rid of the caucus for nothing. Sure the powers that be did that, but it is no different then what went on in Communist Russia to keep the “party” in power
Defend it all you want, but I am calling it what it was
Don’t get over confident. Indiana has early voting. I hate early voting. It tends to favor establishment candidates as so many votes are “in the bank” before later breaking events and momentum and before a lot of voters get to know less familiar candidates well.
