April 23, 2016Ted Cruz was mathematically eliminated from scoring the Republican nomination on the first ballot after Donald Trump’s monstrous win in New York Tuesday. Now, the anti-Cruzers are mocking him, arguing that he should drop out along with Kasich.
They’re seriously comparing Cruz to Kasich. The man who STILL has less delegates than Marco Rubio– the guy who dropped out ONE MONTH AGO.
To those suggesting that Cruz drop out, you’re insane. While Trump could reach the magic number before the convention, it’s not guaranteed. Cruz can stop him from reaching 1,237, and if that happens, we’ll go to a contested convention. It could happen. Cruz is banking on it. He has a solid chance of winning on a second or third vote. And no. It’s not a “crooked” or “rigged” way of thinking. This has happened before.
Political junkies are busying themselves crunching numbers and coming up with various delegate scenarios, but Cruz believes the fate of a contested convention rests in one state: Indiana.
The Midwestern state, which awards 57 delegates on a winner-take-all basis by congressional district and statewide, is an important component of the Texas senator’s strategy to deny Trump enough delegates to lock up the nomination outright before the convention.
“And Indiana is absolutely pivotal. If Trump loses Indiana, he can’t get to 1,237,” Cruz said, sharpening and amplifying remarks he made the previous night in Indianapolis, where he told a crowd of Indiana Republicans that they “will decide” whether Trump gets the nomination.
“And so the people of Indiana really have an opportunity to stand up and speak and for that matter, so do the people of Pennsylvania and Maryland and Delaware and Rhode Island and Connecticut,” Cruz told Loesch, appealing to the voters who will cast their ballots on Tuesday — when he is likely to lose badly to Trump.
At this point, Indiana is a toss up. There hasn’t been much active polling, so it’s difficult to say where the voters stand, although sources say Trump has a slight edge.
Indiana votes May 3rd. Mock and Daisy, no pressure.
