Cruz Vows to ‘Go the Distance’ Ahead of Crucial Indiana Primary
With a pivotal vote in Indiana this week, Ted Cruz is vowing to "go the distance," whatever the outcome of Tuesday's primary.
"It is an incredibly important state," Cruz said of Indiana on ABC's "This Week." "We are competing hard. I hope we do well here. I can tell you I'm barnstorming the state, we're in a bus with my family, we're doing everything we can to earn the votes of the men and women in this state. We're going the distance. We're competing the entire distance.”
Cruz, trailing his main rival Donald Trump by 431 delegates, enters this week after two weeks of losses to Trump in six states. When pressed by ABC News’ Martha Raddatz about whether Indiana is a must win, Cruz would not say. While it is mathematically impossible for Cruz to clinch the 1237 delegates needed to secure the nomination before the Republican convention in July, Cruz says Trump won't get there either.

The real fight for Turd will be to try to get a seat at Trump’s inauguration.
Cruz moves lines in the sand like Obama
“Ok, this time, really, this is really where we are making our stand. I really mean it this time...”
Yeh you got that right. If Luz doesn’t drop out soon he’s going to find himself banned from the convention.
Didn’t Bob Dull ban Pat Buchanan from the 1996 gathering in San Diego? He should have chosen Pat for VP instead of the hapless Kemp.
Are they “basketball rings”.
Sorry, had to do it, I’m not proud of myself.
Cruz is a shallow man. A man that lacks vision and who has an ego that only allows greatness upon himself.
I am happy that so many Americans have seen through this souless man and are embarrassed by his phony hubris.
Make America Great Again. I will vote for Donald J Trump tomorrow morning in Indiana!
As will my whole family.
Didn’t they ban Ron Paul in 2012? Or try to?
I raised the issues whether Trump, Kasich, Hillary or Bernie care to or not. On many, Trump does not care to either. Hey, who cares? It is only Western Civilization at stake! Sodom and Gomorrah appeared remarkably self-confident right to the end, the rather sudden end. But, hey, if it feels good, vote for it! You can always cure the hangover later, one way or the other.
Trump's followers would, if confident, move on as well but Trump and the followers are all in a verrrrrrry passionate hurry to get Cruz and Kasich to drop out. How come?
If Trump actually gets to 1237, which I doubt, he will have won by an approximation of "fair and square" and I would back him over any attempt by anybody in RNC, GOP-E, Wall Street, K Street, US Chamber of Crony Commerce, the RNC Rules Committee, the Convention Rules Committee, some vague committee that reports on Credentials TO the Convention Credentials Committee, Paul Ryan-o as Convention Chair or anyone else thwart his nomination by shenannigans after the fact (which you can bet your bottom dollar each and every one of them is planning) and, knowing Paul Manafort, Roger Stone and Charlie Black as I have for four decades now, I have little doubt that they will try to take trump supporters, Cruz supporters or any other delegates on a "Nantucket boat ride," an adventure wherein Moby Dick storms out to see attached to your whale oat and there's not much you can do to stop it.
Nowadays, Stone is a buffoon but study up on Paul Manafort and his involvement for the reds in retaking control of Ukraine and the fact that for all these pretenses of enmity between Trump and the "Establishment," manafort is joined permanently at the hip with that very "Establishment."
If Trump IS actually anti-Establishment, Manafort may well betray him by JUST marginally failing to get him nominated and collect on both sides OR if Trump is actually GOP-E as I believe, Manafort will get him nominated and advise him on how to screw conservatives over with velvet gloves at leisure including Trump's "conservative supporters.
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss or close to same. Be afraid, be verrrrry afraid. If he is Trump's savior, it will be because it is in Paul's personal $$$$$ interest. If not, oh well. Paul is a very bright and experienced and capable guy and he knows how to lose as well as how to win. It is always his choice.
Oh, and a vast plurality is not a vast majority, even if you capitalize V and M. Nothing stops you from attacking the Hildebeast along with all of Trump's supporters. It would make you and him look better and it would hurt her instead of the people whom you need to beat her. I so despise Hillary that I will even vote for Trump once nominated. others who have opposed him and been relentlessly attacked for it may have resentments too deep to allow that. They are the ones who actually care what his supporters think of them as I do not.
