Donald Trump Leads Cruz by 15 Points in Crucial Indiana Race
NBC ^ | 5/1/2016 | Mark Murray

Posted on 05/01/2016 7:03:50 AM PDT by GilGil

Donald Trump holds a 15-point lead over Ted Cruz in the potentially decisive May 3 presidential primary race in Indiana, according to results from a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll.

Trump gets support from 49 percent of likely Republican primary voters — followed by Cruz at 34 percent and John Kasich at 13 percent. If that margin in Indiana holds on Tuesday, Trump would be on a glide path towards obtaining the 1,237 delegates he needs to win the Republican nomination on a first ballot at the GOP convention in July.

Don't forget that if Kasich drops out, his 66 delegates automatically go to the second place finisher according to state rules.

Trump finished second in Ohio and stands to inherit those delegates if Kasich does drop out.

Cruz will name his Secretaries of State and Defense, and go camp out in Nebraska, and South Dakota.

“ABC news has Trump at 1002 as of now!”

I guess that does not include the two Carson delegates who said they are now supporting Trump.

I can't believe how much I've soured on Cruz over the past year. He went from being my ideal candidate to an utter embarrassment in less than 10 months

Concur, and Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin are thoroughly discredited and on probation to see if they support Trump against Clinton.

“NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll.”

This poll has not been friendly to Trump throughout the campaign. So they either straightened up or Trump is up really yuge.

When I see a WSJ/PMSNBC Rupert Murdock poll add at least 5% more to Trump’s percentage. Trump takes Indiana by 20% plus.

A radio guy named Kincannon said someone from the Trump campaign gave him a copy of Trump’s internal polls and there Trump was up 19 points!

I think he has plans to filibuster the convention.

I know that's a Casablanca poster, but from a distance I'm imagining Ted and Carly with the title "Cruzina".
