This week, as Heidi Cruz campaigned on his behalf in Nebraska, the Texas senator brought daughters Caroline Cruz, 8, and Catherine Cruz, 5, along as he went on a bus tour across Indiana.

“Mike Tyson, a convicted rapist in the city of Indianapolis that’s not a tough guy, and a great governor of the state of in”, she said.
Cruz trails front-runner Donald Trump by hundreds of delegates.
The state represents Cruz’s final challenge in attempting to prevent Trump from locking up the nomination before the Republican national convention in Cleveland this July and forcing an open convention. “That is what I believe”.
For Ted Cruz – counting on a comeback – the devil’s in the details with former Speaker of the House John Boehner – at a private event – giving Cruz hell.
“…I really admire the way that Ted Cruz has been willing to stand up for taxpayers in opposing runaway spending, deficits, and debt”. “Listen, we don’t have two parties in Washington”.
Choosing Fiorina also reminds us that he was the one who rushed into a government shutdown battle without an exit plan.
It will remain to be seen whether Cruz’s strategy to win IN will be similar to Wisconsin that saw conservatives coalescing around his campaign, as well as, he had the endorsement of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. “I have news for Donald Trump”.
“We are at a crossroads and IN will make a choice – what direction will this party go and what direction will this nation go”, Cruz said. And so she was left with: “You know the only thing I can say now is my hope and my prayer is that Sen”. But that’s tradition, not a rule – a custom that Cruz defied Wednesday by selecting ex-tech boss Carly Fiorina as his vice president, 40 years after Reagan named Pennsylvania Sen.
In picking Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard who ended her own bid for the nomination February 10 after the New Hampshire primary, Cruz has a running mate who performed well in the early GOP debates and demonstrated a good grasp of world and domestic affairs.
“The 30-yard-line ain’t a touchdown”.
“That was not the easiest entrance I’ve ever made”, Trump told the gathering.
“Women in positions of power, particularly bold women, who are trying to drive change as Hillary Clinton most surely is… bold women, women in power are characterized, scrutinized differently than their male counterparts are”, she said. “The first time I heard Carly I realized she expressed my very thoughts”. Trump has 994 delegates after sweeping last Tuesday’s five primaries, and could get closer with strong showing next week in Indiana.
Cruz’ stump speech at Kye’s varied little from his mantra at Huber’s Orchard & Winery on Monday: abolish Obamacare and the IRS, rein in EPA regulations on coal, oppose gun control and support “religious freedom” laws such as Indiana’s to allow those opposed to same-sex marriage to refuse service to gays, lesbians and the trans-gendered.

“The tipping point is 1,237”, said Katie Packer, chairman of Our Principles PAC, which is running Stop Trump ads in Indiana.
