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

All right, thanks for clarifying it.
Sure, have a nice weekend.
Chicago was my anti-Cruz turning point as well. For crying out loud, one would have thought a Constitutional scholar would know about and defend free speech and freedom of assembly. What a disappointment.
Thanks, you too.
Yep...his sandbox, his rules.
>>> I’ve been there with George HW Bush. People told me over and over again that he was a “conservative” and that he would promote a “conservative agenda”, and then he didn’t
I have no illusions that Trump is an ideological conservative. But at this time, I still support him 100%. There is a major national realignment happening. The labels liberal and conservative are taking on less meaning, while nationalist vs. globalist is dominating the debate.
Trump is the only nationalist in the mix, and the consensus among many conservatives (at least on this site) is that if the borders and immigration and trade can’t be fixed, then all is lost. Do I expect Trump to be a small government conservative? Absolutely not... but then again, I don’t trust Cruz in that regard as far as I can spit after his mask came off in recent months. But Trump loves America and what we used to call the American Way, I think most would agree. The same cannot be said of the current Resident.
Like those laid off after 31 years of employment with their job moved offshore(Eastern Europe).
Emasculated male must count.
That’s a drag. I liked his commentary; though, I stopped watching FNC years ago.
Levin just of a “lifelong contract” from Clear Channel at or near the beginning of the primary season. This could be fun to watch.
Roger that on the both.
“Donald will need my vote in November along with a lot of folks who aren’t in his corner now.”
Well, I’m sure you’ll be perfectly happy with Hillary. Screw you too.
Thank you.
Yes, that event occurred after our primary.
I think if I could do it over again knowing what I know now, I’d vote Trump.
That said, I think I’d still like to see those two bury the hatchet and Cruz run as VP.
Don’t know that I’ve ever crossed that line.
Have a good weekend.
John Boehner is Sundance?!?!?!?! ;)
