Trump wins big in Indiana as Cruz drops out of presidential race
Washington, May 4 (IANS) New York billionaire Donald Trump on Tuesday won the crucial Republican primary held in the mid-western US state of Indiana, while Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz bowed out of the race after his defeat in the GOP's primary.
Trump's big win has increased his likelihood of clinching the party's presidential nomination outright, while Cruz's defeat delivered a heavy blow to Republicans currently eyeing a contested convention this summer to snatch the party's nomination from Trump.
If Trump secures the Republican Party's nomination, he will be the first major-party nominee who has not served in elected office since Dwight Eisenhower in 1952.
Eisenhower was a five-star general and the commander of Allied Forces in Europe during World War II.
By 8.00 p.m. (local time), one hour after the poll closed, partial results showed Trump had won 53 percent of the vote, almost 20 points ahead of Cruz.
The victory in Indiana will make Trump's total delegate count exceed 1,000 with the likely prospect of reaching the magic number of 1,237 needed to avoid a contested party convention and dashing hopes for the anti-Trump movement to deny the real estate mogul the nomination.
Cruz at a rally in Indiana said: "From the beginning, I've said I would continue on as long as there was a viable path to victory."
"Tonight, I'm sorry to say it appears that the path has been foreclosed."
Though Cruz had already been mathematically eliminated from reaching the 1,237 delegates required to win the nomination on the first ballot at July's GOP convention before Tuesday's Indiana primary.
Cruz and the anti-Trump movement within the party had for long hoped to prevent the front-runner from getting the 1,237 delegates and create a contested convention where other candidates might get nominated after the first round of voting.
However, after the suspension of Cruz's candidacy, there left no doubt that Trump would be the GOP's presumptive presidential nominee.
The once crowded Republican field has dwindled. Despite his flagging campaign and winning only one contest, Ohio Governor John Kasich made it clear on Tuesday that he would stay in the race.
However, the Kasich campaign's hope to force Trump into a contested convention in July became dimmer after the New York billionaire's sweeping victory.
With his big win in Indiana, Trump is guaranteed at least 30 of the state's 57 delegates up for grabs.
However, Trump is unlikely to formally clinch the nomination until June 7, when California and five other states vote and a total of 303 delegate will be up for grabs.
In order to win the GOP nomination, a candidate must win 1,237 delegates. Trump entered the contest on Tuesday with 956 pledged delegates and another 41 unpledged ones, while Kasich, his only rival now, had only 153.
On the Democratic side, Senator Bernie Sanders of
Mrs. Clinton holds a large enough lead in delegates that she
is all but certain to claim the Democratic nomination.

And so with a heavy heart, but with boundless optimism for the long-term future of our nation, we are suspending our campaign.
Cruz pledged to continue his fight for "liberty" and Republican values.

Mr. Cruz had pinned his hopes on
But Mr. Trump, after obliterating his rivals in five states in the Northeastlast week, held a strong polling lead in the state, which had 57 delegates up for grabs. His victory put him in a commanding position to clinch the nomination on June 7, when the last Republican contests are held.
Mr. Trump’s victory was an extraordinary moment in American
political history: He is on course to be the first standard-bearer of a party
who has not served in elected office since Dwight D. Eisenhower, a five-star

Mr. Trump, a real estate tycoon turned reality television celebrity, was not a registered Republican until April 2012. He has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrats, including his likely general election opponent, Mrs. Clinton. And, at various points in his life, he has held positions antithetical to Republican orthodoxy on almost every major issue in the conservative canon, including abortion, taxes and gun control.
But none of this stopped him from driving nearly every other Republican from the race for the nomination. With his ability to speak to the anxieties of voters, and his shrewd use of celebrity and memorable put-downs, he systematically undercut veteran politicians in a field of candidates that many in the party had hailed as the strongest in at least three decades. And he did so while spending far less money than most of his rivals and employing only a skeletal campaign staff.
“It is extremely extraordinary that Trump will be the
nominee for the G.O.P. this year — who saw this coming?” said Dewey M. Clayton,
a professor of political science at the
As remarkable as Mr. Trump’s achievement is, his expected nomination also poses undeniable peril to the party he is poised to lead. Republican leaders, few of whom have fully embraced his candidacy, are watching him with great trepidation, for good reason.
Mr. Trump starts the general election campaign with a still-unfurling roll of incendiary proposals and provocations that are the stuff of dreams for opposition researchers. He made his name in the last presidential campaign as the country’s most prominent birther, fueling debunked conspiracy theories that President Obama was not born in America; he has used hostile language about Hispanics, suggesting that Mexican migrants are rapists and murderers; and he has not backed off his proposal to ban all foreign Muslims from entering the United States, effectively creating a religious test for immigrants.

There are many charges levelled against Hillary by Senator Sanders, GOP, and Trump. There are so many investigations going on over her e-mails and Bengasi issues orchestrated by Republicans but nothing has yet been proven. In the last debate Hillary asked Senator Sanders to show some evidence on his charge against her that she took a large sum of campaign money from Wall Street but he was not able to produce any evidence. Trump is born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He never had any connections with ordinary people and working class people. He is spooking out a bunch of baloney and many people are brain washed. How can he run United States of America by building a wall around it? Illegal immigration is a problem but that has to address by passing immigration law and enforcing it. How can he govern this country by getting rid of Muslims, Indians (you better watch out) and Mexicans? There is constitution written and established by the founding fathers of this nation; there is a congress and Senate already there; there check and balances on how each executive branch is fulfilling their responsibility. Mr. Kurian; if you believe that Trump will do everything he promises, then you are living in the fool’s paradise. Get out of your hallucination and come to the real world. Please call your friend Tom Abraham, who lives in the orbit of Trump excitement, to come down to the world of reality. I like white people hardworking and smart people but don’t be misguided by Trump, he may ask your birth certificate to work with him.
Note; Don’t think that you can misguide people by typing all the lies in uppercase; You learned some tricks from your Guru Trump.
