Conservative radio host Dana Loesch says she doesn’t know what Sen. [crscore]Ted Cruz[/crscore]’s strategy is going forward after his loss to Donald Trump in Indiana.
In the moments after Fox News called the Indiana primary for Donald Trump election coverage on Tuesday, Loesch was asked by Bret Baier for her reaction to Trump’s big win in Indiana and about Cruz coming up short and she said, “Well, it is what it is. I mean, we kind of knew that Indiana was going to be incredibly competitive and Trump wins Indiana. Now where the campaign goes from here, I don’t know. It’s difficult for me to foresee how the campaign can continue going after a loss like this in Indiana.”
Loesch did add that Cruz could still be “competitive” in states in the west like “Nebraska.”
“After a loss like Indiana and particularly with the importance that was placed upon it, that does effect momentum,” Loesch argued. “It will affect donors. And one of the other things I want to note here as well, I think this is also going to affect the Republican Party.”
“It’s going to effect Republican Party membership and I think that the Republican Party membership is going to have to do soul searching,” Loesch said. “Now in terms of discussion for unification, you know Trump, he won in Indiana he gets those 30 delegates and we’ll see how many delegates are divided up by congressional district.”
“For a candidate that says he wants to unify and this is really important, and I want people to put aside partisan differences for a moment, for a candidate that says he wants to unify, is he having a very difficult time convincing other people of that with his statements and actions as of late,” Loesch claimed. “And that needs to be taken into some serious consideration going forward.”
Loesch went on to say that, “It doesn’t appear like the party is really lining up, majority wise, behind anyone. You still have a majority of Republicans because had you such a wide primary field and that has to be taken into consideration too that did not go for Donald Trump.”
“Trump has won a plurality not a majority. So it’s kind difficult to argue that the majority of the GOP or the party has backed him as well. However, we’re going with plurality here in Indiana and that’s ultimately determining the victor here.”
