On Sen. Ted Cruz

Sean Hannity to Ted Cruz: 'I'm getting sick of it'  "Sean Hannity sharply criticized Ted Cruz on Tuesday, when the radio and TV host tried to ask the Republican presidential hopeful about his campaign's delegate strategy and didn't like the answer he got in response."
Prediction: Ted Cruz Will Be President  
Just offering a counterpoint to the conventional wisdom you will read today.I believe Ted Cruz will be, not just the Republican nominee, but also our next President.I don’t believe Trump will get to 1237, his expected good performance last night notwithstanding. Cruz will do OK in Pennsylvania because many delegates are unbound. He’ll do OK in California. And he’ll win Indiana — a state that many observers watching the numbers believe is critical for Trump to clinch the nomination outright.Once Trump fails to clinch, it will be an ugly process, but Cruz will win out in the end. There is no white horse, with or without a horn on its head. There is just Ted Cruz, and he is the alternative the party will pick. I just don’t believe that the Sniveling Coward can win if he doesn’t take it on a first ballot.The party will unify. Yes, the Sniveling Coward’s Twitter army will stomp off in a rage. A small minority of non-Twitterers will follow suit. But most Republicans will go with the nominee.And the Cruz will beat Hillary.Cruz is a fantastic spokesman for his — for our! — ideas. Hillary is a terrible spokesman for hers. The Dems will have their own set of disappointed voters in the Bernie army, and their lack of loyalty will sap her support as surely as Trump’s will sap Cruz’s.In the end, Cruz will make a more convincing case.And he will win.So says Patterico, April 20, 2016. Write it down.
(He said this, not me,TD)
Why Cruz Is Going All-In on Indiana "Ted Cruz’s team knew that Donald Trump would run away with his native New York Tuesday. And they expect he’ll win the lion’s share of delegates at stake next week when a slate of northeastern states votes. So they’ve spent the last two weeks looking ahead, quietly laying the groundwork for a kitchen-sink campaign in a state they can’t afford to let Trump win: Indiana."
