From the outset, and particularly since the ridiculous “Never Trump” campaign began, we have outlined the most damaging aspect to Senator Ted Cruz’s presidential bid is his continued visibility. The reasoning is simple: the more people see and hear Cruz, the more the average electorate are turned off by Cruz. He’s just not a likeable man.
A CNN article today points out the internal polling within Indiana is following this consistent pattern:
Cruz allies and people close to the campaign describe a budding sense of gloom, with internal polls diving as Trump mounted even stronger than expected showings in his native northeast. In Indiana, which Cruz backers once believed they were favored to win after his strong defeat of Trump in Wisconsin, Cruz’s numbers have fallen precipitously: Once leading, Cruz now trails in the state by eight to 10 points, according to a person who has seen the numbers, with Trump over the 40% mark. Cruz’s campaign did not respond when asked about those figures.
Indiana is the absolute last chance for Senator Ted Cruz and the entire coalition behind the #NeverTrump movement. Like Florida in March, tens of millions are now being spent to psychologically target the larger electorate in Indiana with a constant barrage of negative attack ads.
Trump internals from Indiana as of today: Trump – 51% Cruz – 32% Kasich – 13%

Cruz Campaign Can’t Fill A Rally: An NBC news truck was parked outside of the center. There were also five marked police cars as well as a couple of fire department vehicles. There were some cars being used to block off a sidewalk on the side of the building, but other than that nothing else stood out

ENjoy FRiend, enjoy!! :)
You, too, mah brutha! ;)
Nobody, not you or I or anyone else “get’s what he deserves” and we can thank God for that.
With SC, Ted lost out and did not carve out another path to victory. WI and UT were mere aberrations.
I’ve actually said over and over on FR I’m voting for the nominee. As a Cruz supporter who has tried to remain civil I’d like to be treated civilly here. Realizing FR is a small sample and hoping Trump supporters nationwide aren’t behaving as obnoxiously as those here because votes will be needed to defeat Hillary.
Many people, including me, have been desperate for a true conservative, Christian leader for years. We fell for Cruz just because he talks the talk.
Many, many of us have concluded that the real Cruz is a lot less than the idealized Cruz we were supporting. He talks the talk, but does not walk the walk. We wanted it to be real so badly that it was painful to let go.
I think that is what a lot of Cruz supporters are wrestling with today.
AMEN!!!
A leader believes in things but also recognizes where he is and is able to assess his situation reasonably and rationally. Cruz doesn’t seem to be that guy. Rather he seems to be a kind of ideologue going off the deep end of his own advocacy, losing track of where he is. He was like that in the Senate apparently ad nauseum, and he’s demonstrated it here in this nomination race.
As a Trump supporter, I find your post to be anything BUT "civil"; rather it is "OBNOXIOUS" in the extreme.
There is clearly something wrong with you ... I love it.
I hear what you are saying. And having been betrayed in the past by noodleback politicians in the GOP, I keep a keen eye on ANY candidate calling himself “conservative”. I think if Trump wins he will feel like he owes a lot to the people that brought him to that point. I hope that is true, because if it isn’t, he’ll find out very quickly that those who raised him up can bring him down, so fast his head will spin.
What do you think?
WOW! I love it! I’m going to use it if that’s okay with you ;-)
Aligning with Cruz was felony stupid for Fiorina.
She easily could have been Sec. Of Commerce in the Trump administration for 4-6 years, then some seven figure Board of Directors slots.
Now she is radioactive. No one will touch her, politically that is.
Of course VictoryGal!
Use it far and wide and in good health!
And *KEEP ON TRUMPIN!!* :)
Curious in a newer thread above this, Cruz is ahead by double digits. What a joke these polls.
Based on yard signs and attendance at campaign events, I’ll be extremely surprised if Cruz beats Trump here in Indiana.
Trump would never hire her, she was very nasty to him.
She can go on “Dancing with the Canadian” with her political partner.
