Trump, who has a commanding delegate lead over rival Ted Cruz, has said that the nominating race “would be over” if he wins the IN primary next week.

Republican presidential candidate, Ted Cruz, a United States (U.S.) senator from Texas, says the California primary election on June 7, which usually comes too late to have an impact, will this year decide his party’s nominee.
That Weaver tweet came minutes after Cruz at a press availability in IN had professed total ignorance about the idea of an alliance.
That effort is headed up by a trio of Republican consultants, a few wealthy donors and activists all trying to build a wall, so to speak, between Trump and the 1,237 delegates he needs for the nomination.
Candidate Ronald Reagan tried a similar approach in 1976, when he trailed President Ford going into the convention.
Maybe Mr. Cruz figured that he had to do something that went against the odds.
Fiorina has already been scheduled to speak at this weekend’s California Republican Party convention Saturday night in Burlingame.
Fiorina has been attacking Trump ever since she endorsed Cruz, fueling speculation that she was angling to be his running mate.
OK, let’s get some things straight: Senator Ted Cruz won’t have an actual “running mate”, because he won’t have a presidential candidacy much longer. Mrs Fiorina and Mr Cruz also have the same or very similar ultra-conservative views on abortion, transgender bathrooms and other neuralgic social issues.
And there is no evidence that, in a general election, slamming Clinton over Benghazi – which Fiorina would surely do with zeal – will move swing voters.
“Donald had a good week”.
“Donald Trump may be the only person on earth that Hillary Clinton can beat”, he said. In the event Cruz wins the nomination, she could be an effective counterweight to Hillary Clinton, the all-but-certain Democratic nominee.
“In some districts, voters need to understand that hitting the reset button is a vote for Cruz”.
One of the delegates, Robert Stout, stood by Copeland’s pursuit of party unity and said that although he originally supported Rand Paul for president, he will absolutely support Trump throughout the national convention.

“What I know, and the reason I voted for him the privacy of the voting booth in my home state of Virginia … is that there is only one real conservative in this race who can win and who has fought, and that’s Ted Cruz”. She fought her way to the top: “from a secretary, to the first female CEO of a Fortune 50 company, to a 2016 Republican vice presidential candidate”, reads a statement on Cruz’s campaign website homepage. Cruz has 565, followed by Kasich with 153. A vote for Trump is a vote for average Joe American. “And if he doesn’t do that, there are a whole lot of people who don’t believe he’s the proper guy”.
