Indiana Choosing State Delegates Today, It’s Looking VERY Good for This GOP Candidate
The Indiana Republican primary scheduled for May 3 is a winner take-all-delegates race (57). But already the cards are being stacked against Donald Trump, even if he wins in the primary.
That may end up being good news for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Based on interviews conducted by Politico, the Indiana Republican Party has plans to offer its delegates to anyone but billionaire and Republican front-runner Donald Trump.
Party insiders revealed they are in the process of selecting 27 delegates Saturday to represent Indiana at the convention in July. And those delegates are almost certain not to vote for Trump if the expected contested convention takes place.
Craig Dunn, a local GOP leader running to represent Indiana’s 4th Congressional District at the national convention, told Politico, “If Satan had the lead on him and was one delegate away from being nominated as our candidate, and Donald Trump was the alternative, I might vote for Donald Trump,” Dunn said. “I’ve always wanted to own a casino, but he couldn’t give me a casino and have me vote for him.”
Kyle Cheney of Politico reports, “Indiana GOP insiders are working to engineer slates of delegates — three from each of nine congressional districts — that will turn their backs on Trump at a contested convention in July. Another 27 [at-large delegates] will be elected at a state committee meeting next week.”
Doing the math, that means 54 of the 57 total delegates are being hand-selected to vote against Trump in the second vote of a contested convention. (Read more from “Indiana Choosing State Delegates Today, It’s Looking VERY Good for This GOP Candidate” HERE)
