This new Indiana poll is very bad news for the ‘Stop Trump’ movement
The Washington Post ^ | May 1, 2016 | Philip Bump

The poll gives Trump a 15-point lead in the state. Even if the poorly laid plans of Ted Cruz and John Kasich had come to fruition and Kasich had vanished from the scene, Trump would still lead Cruz...

Part of the reason Trump still beats Cruz one-on-one is that Indiana Republicans think that the clumsy attempt at an alliance between Cruz and Kasich was, in short, dumb. Nearly six in 10 disapproved of the ploy, which lasted about four hours...

You are right for a fact.
Carly’s purpose was to gather one of her famous one week bumps for Cruz.
It didn’t happen and people find it mostly odd.
The good thing about CRUZ staying in is it does not officiality declare yet Trump the winner of the Republican primaries. Works for a while because it blunts the all out attack coming from the press and Democrats that would be going off now on Donald ifnthere were not a Kasich or Cruz.

The two stooges do serve a purpose.

I have friends who are stuck with early votes for Marco Rubio - - boy are they sorry.

Does early voting in Indiana have any impact on Trump’s numbers?

That’s the “Dump Trump” movement. Such a clever phrase. They’re so creative. That’s why the Left calls themselves the artistic and intellectual crowd.

“... all out attack coming from the press and Democrats...”

These attacks haven’t worked very well for the GOPe and I believe Trump will handle them from the left just as he has from the GOPe...

I picture a future for Cruz, dressed in robe and slippers, leafing thru his scrapbook, and holding cabinet meetings with his stuffed animals.

I think so to, he will ask the President they don’t ask Hillary about this or that and they will astroke out on camera.

Those who live in a fantasy land frequently perceive "reality" as "very bad news" (picture finger quotes there).

Wonders will never cease....it seems the Ted Cruz supporters have all disappeared into thin air!!! My, oh, my!!! Well with the wife that Cruz has, calling him an immgrant, his “Castro Adoree”, ranting, father, “Lunatic” , Glenn Beck and Governor, Mike Pence who said he is voting for Cruz but, endorses Donald Trump.....what do you expect. Of course, folks, keep in mind that Ted Cruz is far from the sharpest knife in the drawer!!! He, too, is a raving nutcase, to boot!!!

I would think to a small degree. They are votes that won’t count toward people still running - but just like every other state which had actual voting, thousands voted for drop out candidates and non candidates.

On one of the talking head Sunday shows it was Cruz who was Orange. Lighting does that....but they sure like to make fun of Trump and MOST of the time he does not look orange. It’s the camera, not him.
