“I believe in the people of the Hoosier state. I believe that the men and women gathered here and the goodness of the American people, that we will not give into evil but we will remember who we are and we will stand for our values."You don't want to be "evil" do you? Of course you don't. Lest you think that we're talking about evil with a small "e," Cruz booster Glenn Beck has issued a warning. God himself wants Ted Cruz to be seated in the oval office, and you probably shouldn't get in his way. The man upstairs will be watching as you vote.
“God is making sure that every single person, every single voice is being heard this time around. He’s not going to say: ‘Oh, well, somebody on the east coast did it. Somebody in Florida did it,'” Beck said. “He wants you to know, in Indiana, that you are putting your name down on good or evil, liberty or slavery, you are making the decision.”The problem for these people is that new polling suggests that not only are people unconvinced of Ted Cruz's holiness, they're choosing to side with Trump's supposed "evil." ...And they're doing so by a substantial margin.
Donald Trump holds a 15-point lead over Ted Cruz in the potentially decisive May 3 presidential primary race in Indiana, according to results from a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll. Trump gets support from 49 percent of likely Republican primary voters — followed by Cruz at 34 percent and John Kasich at 13 percent. If that margin in Indiana holds on Tuesday, Trump would be on a glide path towards obtaining the 1,237 delegates he needs to win the Republican nomination on a first ballot at the GOP convention in July. Polls show 'evil' Indiana voters are about to give Ted Cruz the heave-hoCruz aides are arguing that their candidate is running stronger in Indiana than the polls indicate. They claim everyone's in for a big surprise tomorrow. That's certainly possible, but if Republicans have learned anything from the McCain and Romney campaigns, it's that "ignore the polls" is a terrible battle cry.
