Video of Ted Cruz's interaction with Indiana Trump supporter & heckler is quite telling
A video of Ted Cruz's interaction with Trump supporter & heckler in Indiana before the Indiana polls, which perhaps shows how & why Trump blanked out Cruz and Kasich in Indiana, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkCifM0kDd0, 6 min. 45 secs.
Ted Cruz is Ivy league educated (Princeton University followed by Harvard Law School) and a former Solicitor General of Texas who has argued constitutional rights related case(s) in the USA Supreme Court. However, all his oratorical skills in the above interaction with a Trump supporter came to naught with the Trump supporter using some Trump style verbal aggression to combat Ted Cruz's attempted logical debate.
http://edition.cnn.com/election/primaries/states/in/Rep shows that Trump has won (or is projected winner of) 54 of the 57 delegates of Indiana, with three delegates yet to be decided/allotted (Cruz & Kasich got 0 delegates so far). Trump got 53% of the vote, Cruz - 36% and Kasich - 7.5%.
The landslide win by Trump (rather Trump blanking out Cruz & Kasich) seems to have precipitated the decisions of both Cruz and Kasich to drop out of the race, leaving Trump the lone man standing. Trump will still have to win more delegates from other states where the Republican primaries are to be held in the near future but one presumes that Trump will sweep delegates from these primary elections and cross the 1237 delegates he needs to formally be the nominee of the Republican party for President of the USA.
Here's a CNN report on the incident covered in the post, http://edition.cnn.com/2016/05/02/politics/ted-cruz-donald-trump-indiana-protester/.
Please note that I have a NEUTRAL informal-student-observer role in these posts that I put up about the USA presidential elections. Of course, as I am an Indian citizen living in India, there is no question of me voting in these elections.
