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

RIGHT!
Not even the most deluded Cruzbot could believe that. Even if he wins, it won't be anywhere near any sixteen points. Furthermore, the poll started on April 13, long be the race shifted.
The poll is such garbage that I can't see why The Hill felt the need to report on it. In a few days, that firm will have shot its credibility to hell permanently.
Put aside the fact that he is a thorn in Cruz’s side. Where has he been wrong? Specific examples please.
Why would Trump be in CA today and tomorrow if he didn’t have a good idear where he stands in IN?
I live here, and I’m kinda thinking this will be a close one. Hard to get a read on things.
I don’t have a huge circle of family and friends, but I have yet to find anyone who supports Cruz. I do know about a dozen who have already voted for Trump.
That, and I have yet to see the first Cruz yard sign in any of the counties I roam which are the most conservative counties in the state.
I do, however, see more and more Trump signs every day. I’m told that they are hard to get as it is first come first serve when they do get any, and they don’t last long.

Which post?
“Is there any concern that Donald may need the votes of the folks who are being denigrated because he isn’t currently their first choice?”
What do you want Trump and his supporters to do - come begging on bended knee for your support, after you’ve been kicking the man for nine long months?
I think it’s high time that Cruz supporters woke up and smelled the coffee. Cruz isn’t going to be the nominee, and there are a lot of very good reasons why that’s so. Reasons that, up til now, many Cruz supporters have been unwilling to hear.
Perhaps it’s time you started listening to us former Cruzies.

Man. That’s obnoxious? OK.
He’s surging to the bottom!
Dead on!
Trump will govern as a conservative with guts.
He truly wants to “make America great again” — note his plan to stop illegal immigration by building a wall, for starters.
So guess what? Nobody "owes" you a damned thing! Vote for Trump or don't vote for Trump, be your usual CUT OF YOUR NOSE TO SPITE YOUR FACE, be A DOG IN THE MANGER if that's the way you decide to be, but it'll ALL be on your own head!
.... I can see Ton Bergeron. ... “and up next... dancing the Canadian Cha Cha.... it’s America’s Fun Couple ...”
That is very clearly a 3-inch group at 10 yards with a .45, analysis wise.
