 How Ted Cruz Got Indiana Wrong

On a sunny day at the Oasis Diner in Plainfield, Indiana, roughly 20 miles west of Indianapolis, Ted Cruz breezed through a 1950s-era diner with a gleaming steel facade. One of the last diners of its kind, the Oasis sits along the Historic National Road, the iconic highway traversing the state that fancies itself the Crossroads of America. Here, four days before he named Carly Fiorina as his vice presidential pick, Cruz met a crowd of a few hundred supporters. He mugged for photos, noshed on a fried pickle offered to him by a customer, then shot straight behind the counter. Pleasantries aside, it was time to get down to the business at hand.

“Alright, can I get anyone some fill-ups?” he asked to no one in particular, grabbing a pot of coffee and holding it up, as a peal of laughter pierced the humid air inside the packed diner. “Refill of coffee for anyone?”

Everything seemed to be going well for Cruz, who gripped and grinned amid his biggest fans, wearing copious amounts of camouflage and Dale Earnhardt No. 88 hats and “Don’t Tread On Me” T-shirts. As he spoke from the back of a red Chevrolet pickup truck, one could even hear a few “Amens.”

“I don’t like any campaign that puts one class of humans against another,” a central Indiana Republican delegate to Cleveland who was turned off by Cruz’s comments, told me.

Then he certainly can't be supporting Trump.

The author just uses the primary as an excuse to push their socially liberal agenda.

20% undecided in latest poll.

Very much up for grabs.
