It’s important for Trump to strive for 1237+ COMMITTED delegates BEFORE the convention, and win on the first ballot with no drama. He needs to remove any doubt of victory. Can’t have any talk of “Yeah, he won BUT...”.
Until then, he can’t go in to prevent defense, he can’t just run the ball up the middle. He needs to be confident and aggressive. Which he will be to the max, I’m sure.
If he gets 40+ in IN and 120+ in CA that should accomplish that.
He will also likely get 50-60 uncommitted delegates, but that will be gravy.
You need to step away from your computer and in particular FR and take a look at the real world.
You also, step outside FR for a while, breathe deep then come back.
I say save the Damned fish and forget the two dead crocodiles.
I believe Ted Cruz could have done a lot of good in the Senate or as a justice on SCOTUS.That can only be based on your willingness to believe...there is no other evidence.
Will Terd Cruz ever drop out?No, Cruz is insanely obsessed with being a thorn in Trumps side...nothing else matters.
Cruz is on the edge of a very steep cliff...a few more steps and he’s a goner.
The irony is his new found friends in the GOPe will be glad to see him take that fall, either as the losing nominee or as a failed kamakazi candidate.
He may not need Indiana but I expect he’ll win it all the same!
I say Trump needs to take it, every delegate counts.

I believe Trump does need Indiana.
Why?
Cruz is now betting all of his hopes on Indiana. They need to be dashed...and I say this as one who has supported Cruz.
The truth is what it is...and we need the GOP (without the “e”) to now unite. A defeat in Indiana will bring that about quicker.
The NY Times wants a hard, ugly fight right to the convention floor. I do not.
This is why Trump will win in November:
The Donald Trump Phenomenon
http://www.jeffhead.com/Trump-Phenom.htm
The GOP establishment does not get it...but fears it.
The democrat establishment does not get it...but fears it.
The MSM does not get it...but fears it.
And despite all of their efforts, they have not been able to blunt it.
For Trump to have already gotten over 10 million votes in a GOP Primary that started with 17 candidates tells us that these things are true.
We need this infighting to stop soonest now.
John, wake up.

I agree. After yesterday and him announcing Fiorina as a running mate, I’m at a loss to grasp the continued Tead supporter.
The "conservative" radio people are afraid of Trump. Trump might just decide to copy FDR's "fireside radio chats", only do it off the White House web site. They're afraid he might take away their audience.
One big issue that Reagan overcame, was figuring out how to bypass the MSM and speak directly to the people. In 2016, that's easy, as Trump demonstrated. Have a large twitter following. Have speeches on YouTube and other media. Don't let yourself be filtered by the press, put what you have to say out on the internet, where anybody can access it for himself. And if the press tries to distort what you say, then the full context is out there, and people can see for themselves.
Ted and Carly can go shoot some rings at a campaign stop.
I agree. He needs Indiana so he’s not working on a razors edge through June 7th.
