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.
Trump internals from Indiana as of today: Trump 51% Cruz 32% Kasich 13%

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 SS Cruz is taking on water and circling the drain. :-)
The Fiorina farce will convince the undecideds if there were still any left.
“Lately he’s been running the ‘TED CRUZ IS SATAN INCARNATE!’”
Do you have a link for that? I’m a regular at the Treehouse and have seen nothing of the sort.
You Cruz folks talking to others about the need for civility is as outlandish as the premise Cruz isn’t completely precluded from winning the nomination in 2016.
Stuff your idiotic concerns where the sun doesn’t shine!
You folks have been the biggest a.h.s I’ve seen on this forum in the 18 years I’ve been here.
The Conservative Treehouse has indeed done some absolutely fantastic investigative reporting... before it went on it's current Trump uber alles! Crank-fest.
It has lost it's ability to examine facts objectively, and it has lately endeavored to skew facts and opinion to suit it's personal preferences.
It is my hope that once the primary is over, (and congratulations to Mr. Trump if he wins) that "Sundance" will go back to being sane, rather than the fanatic he currently appears to be.
Whatever has happened to him, also appears to have happened to Jim Hoft of "Gateway Pundit." He too seems to have become a bit of a loon obsessed with getting Trump to win the nomination.
I fully appreciate why people want to support Trump. He has said and proposed some very good things, and I hope the good things he has said are made into a reality, but anyone who just embraces him wholly on the basis of what he is currently saying while ignoring all of his past history as a Liberal Democrat from New York, is being naive to a level that I regard as foolish.
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.
Call me out of touch, but I sort of follow the line of thinking that a person who will enact conservative policy is one that has held these views since before they were popular. Someone who has defended these views in the past. Not someone who is a recent convert and has a tendency to change their opinion on a dime.
The current fanaticism on display from Sundance and Jim Hoft just puts me off. One would think rational people would be more wary.
The Clueless Ten
I've seen post after post here at Free Republic purporting to be from "Sundance" which all sum up to "TED CRUZ IS SATAN INCARNATE!!!!!
If you haven't seen them, you must not have been paying attention.
He said radaronline was reporting that Trump had raped two 12 year old girls. This his man, whoever he was, quoted Donald Trump’s response to Ted’s NE scandal report: They’ve been right before but I’m not saying they’re right now. And for his sake I hope it’s not true.”
Beck is certifiably nuts.
I haven’t and look how you replied to me. Donald will need my vote in November along with a lot of folks who aren’t in his corner now.
He’s been pretty correct thus far, no?
No more so than the rooster taking credit for the sunrise.
When you join the biggest gang spreading the most malicious rumors across the internet, the odds are that you will eventually achieve a preference cascade.
No great prognosticating powers there. Just being another member of a mob.
The media does this stuff all the time.
They took that poll over 15 days and only polled 400 people? It’s worthless.
Take your vote and ram it.
I’ve had it up to here with you self-righteous ass——s!
This forum should be a shining light to other Conservatives.
Instead of leading you folks have sought to rip this forum right down the middle.
What leadership could we provide to the community? Zip!
We told you Ted was not who he said he was, and he is proving it more by the day.
And after completely destroying the ability of the forum to be of any use leading others to support the best man, you now try to guilt those of us who saw things with clarity from day one.
John W, we’re not going to let you folks fritter away the rest of the campaign season.
If you can’t get behind Trump and push, go away.
True Conservatives have put in too many years to get an shot at taking out the GOPe. We’re not going to take a pass for idiots like you.
You don’t want to vote for Trump? Don’t! See if I give a rats ass.
Dumb Cruzers talk big but can't prove their candidate isn't a bread-face mutant who lies about everything. Cruz lies so much he was even claiming a few days ago that Trump supports Common Core, and that he never told Kasich to get out because he "couldn't reach the 1237" mark.
All destined to the trash heap of failed pundits following the election.
It is better to stay clear of the blast radius from the splodey heads:
What a bunch of sourpusses.
