From the outset, and particularly since the ridiculous Never Trump campaign began, we have outlined the most damaging aspect to Senator Ted Cruzs 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. Hes 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, Cruzs 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. Cruzs 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.

Cruz Campaign Cant 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

The Cruz campaign is throwing everything, including Carly Fiorinas kitchen sink, at Trump in their last ditch effort to save the strategy of a contested convention. If you have followed the GOPe for any length of time you already know the severity of anger, and the disposition of vitriol, that exists within the Professional Republican Political class.
Strong Horse Theory is taking over.
Voters know this is over.
Glenn! Start fasting - now!

It is better to stay clear of the blast radius from the splodey heads:

~~Go Trump, GO!~~ ~~Go Trump, GO!~~ ~~Go Trump, GO!~~
I bet Levin and Beck are literally ablaze today with hate-filled rhetoric.
And here comes another rant from "Sundance."
The Love Boat?
Time to put Cruz away. KO.
Ted: Hey Carly, call my house 20 times and ask me who I’m voting for, then call Trump once. Then we’ll post it as a poll that I have a double digit lead.
Again, as I’ve been saying for a few days, between Cruz’s “basketball rings” statement and Bobby Knight’s endorsement of Trump, Trump crushes it in Indiana. And I voted Cruz in the primary, though I admit that would be a more difficult question knowing what I know now, vs. back in March.
I think momentum will push Trump closer to 60%
At least his rants are coherent, I’m not sure the same could be said of yours.
Why don’t you give it whirl princess?
