“Yes, it s over”, Trump said. But support for the state party wavered once some Cruz supporters began pushing for a slate made up entirely of Cruz people, a scenario that has played out at other state conventions like in ME and Arizona to the advantage of the Cruz campaign.

At the same party convention that was the backdrop for chaotic protests against Trump on Friday, Cruz tried to woo party members with support for their long-time issues, such as lower taxes and a harder line on immigration.
Jaime Patino from Union City thinks Trump has good ideas and that he means well. The senator is already mathematically unable to secure 1,237 delegates needed on the first ballot of the Republican convention, and all his hopes rest on preventing Trump from doing the same.
It also risks alienating those who have yet to vote, said veteran Indiana Republican pollster Christine Matthews. Trump arrived in Indianapolis to start campaigning the day after winning his home-state NY primary weeks ago and began spending money on television advertising far sooner than he did in Wisconsin.
When I say Trump has not been outrageous in more than a month, I am using the word “outrageous” in a particular way. But it’s over. Cruz can not win. That I can tell you, OK?
Clinton’s campaign had largely written off the IN primary before Sunday. He scored delegate victories in MA and held his own in Arkansas. “This is the height of political correctness for Donald Trump to say, yes let grown men in the bathroom with little girls”.
But CNN’s Maeve Reston, a veteran of the state’s complicated politics, said the big test is whether Trump can successfully counter a Ted Cruz organizing effort that dates back a year.
“I was honored to receive the support of Governor Pence”. “I got cheated”, the AP quoted her as saying as the results became known.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has vowed to stay in the Democratic race, though he acknowledged Sunday that he faces an “uphill climb”. “If you take the people that want Cruz, and you add to them the people who don’t want Trump, that’s a majority in just about any room in America”.
Trump has frequently boasted that his presidential campaign is self-funded. “We don’t feel that this was a fair process”. You know who I feel the worst for, I feel the worst for Donald’s supporters who believe his role, but every day if he gets closer to the nomination, he starts taking his mask off and behind the Donald Trump mask is Hillary Clinton. Ted Cruz, who has named her his vice presidential nominee. The Texan was helped by Ken Cuccinelli, Virginia’s former attorney general and a campaign aide on the delegate front nationally.
Sanders said it was almost impossible for Clinton to win the 2,383 delegates needed for nomination without superdelegates, who are unelected and free to support any candidate they wish.
Tuesday’s IN primary will be a critical test for stop-Trump forces.
The Cruz campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
The NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey shows the billionaire Trump leading Texas Sen.
Some Trump supporters took solace in the fact that Trump is ahead in the delegate count.

Worth another mention is a new poll by respect national pollster John Zogby, which says Hillary Clinton beats Gov. John Kasich. “This was a very pronounced victory for the Cruz-Kasich slates”.
