Leading up to Tuesday's crucial primary in Indiana, GOP frontrunner Donald Trump now leads Ted Cruz by 15 points, further solidifying his likelihood of becoming the presidential nominee.
According to a new NBC/WSJ/Marist poll, Donald Trump leads Cruz by 15 points, which would add another 57 delegates to his already commanding lead of 997 delegates. Since Indiana is a winner-take-all state, Trump would receive all 57 delegates.
Among the likely GOP voters to participate in Tuesday's primary, 49 percent of voters support Trump while only 34 percent support Cruz. John Kasich trails far behind at only 13 percent.
To win the nomination, 1237 total delegates are needed. Should Trump win Tuesday as predicted, Trump would need only another 40 percent of the remaining delegate count to secure the GOP nomination.
In a bold move to persuade Trump supporters, a video has been circulating the web featuring Ted Cruz actively confronting pro-Trump protesters, attempting to explain his "outsider" status. The protesters were largely dismissive.
"Career politicians have killed America, down with the career politicians... career politicians killed America," shouted a man in the crowd.
"You are the problem. You, politician," said a second man. "Where's your Goldman Sachs jacket at? We know your wife worked there."
The Freedom Center is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Therefore we do not endorse political candidates either in primary or general elections. However, as defenders of America’s social contract, we insist that the rules laid down by both parties at the outset of campaigns be respected, and that the results be decided by free elections. We will oppose any attempt to rig the system and deny voters of either party their constitutional right to elect candidates of their choice.
