“Among just those who say they will “definitely” vote, Cruz’s lead over Trump widens to 46-33 percent, and Kasich gets 16 percent”, reported Fox Business’ Dana Blanton.
“I’m just picturing the shy, retiring Donald Trump back in the pocket looking at Kabeer, jumping over the offensive line and coming in for a sack”, Cruz said.
In a statement to the Guardian, a campaign spokesperson insisted “Mr. Trump gave an accurate account of the law as it is today and made clear it must stay that way now – until he is President. And it demonstrated that when we the people stand together we can beat the special interest that are banking out kids and grandkids”, he said.

Mr. Trump faced widespread criticism after suggesting in a televised townhall that women who have abortions should be punished by law. His divisive style is also under scrutiny, and the real estate magnate had a surprise meeting with Republican party chief Reince Priebus in Washington on Thursday amid rumblings that the party would fracture if he were to win the nomination.

Sophomore Joseph Lehto said he probably will vote for an independent if Sanders doesn’t get the nomination.

Scavino claims the campaign and state party agreed on seven of 14 at-large delegates earlier in the week, but by yesterday the state GOP stuffed the delegate slate with anti-Trump forces who likely won’t stick by the Republican front-runner past the second ballot – a move to push support to Texas U.S. Sen.
