INDIANAPOLIS — Twitter reports were proven true in Indianapolis Wednesday when Sen. Ted Cruz tapped former technology CEO Carly Fiorina as his desired Vice President. “After lots of prayer, I will run on a ticket with Carly Fiorina,” Cruz said. The crowd of Hoosiers erupted. “Ted, Ted, Ted,” and “Carly, Carly, Carly,” chants were set against the background of country-rock music as Fiorina joined Cruz on stage. Cruz staffers passed freshly printed “Cruz-Fiorina ’16” posters among the crowd, and “Cruz-Fiorina ’16” displayed on the projector screens above the stage.

Less than a week before the Indiana presidential primary, candidate Bernie Sanders spoke before an enraptured crowd of more than 3,000 people, calling for a revolution. As three other presidential candidates made appearances throughout the state, Sanders encouraged Hoosiers to vote next Tuesday. He trails Clinton by 297 delegates nationally. “Next Tuesday, let us have the highest voter turnout in Indiana history,” Sanders said. “Let the great state of Indiana join the 17 other states that have said it is time for a political revolution.” Throughout the night, Sanders spouted idealistic one-liners.

Seven protesters from “Say No to Socialism” attended the rally, and some exchanged shouts with Bernie supporters. “We’re showing not all college students support Bernie Sanders,” IU junior Brandon Lavy said. “There’s diversity in millennials.” Though they were few in number, six managed to circle the rally-goers several times. At times, Sanders supporters shouted insults or told them to leave, and the counter-ralliers hurled their own shouts back. “I’m not paying for you to major in feminist dance therapy,” a counter-protester said at one point. More than 10,000 people came to the rally, according to event volunteers, and attendees ranged from infants

INDIANAPOLIS — Bobby Knight returned to Indiana on Wednesday not to throw chairs but to endorse another man hungry to win — Donald Trump. Knight, who won three NCAA basketball championships at IU and was known for his excitement and aggression, joined the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination at a rally at Indiana Farmers Coliseum ahead of Tuesday’s crucial Indiana primary. He compared Trump to former President Harry S. Truman and said Trump would be “the most prepared man in history to step into the presidency of the United States.” The appearance was a rare return

him, hung on each word. “Love trumps hatred.” “How is it that we have trillions of dollars for war, but we don’t have money to rebuild inner cities?” “Women are tired of earning 79 cents ... Women, appropriately enough, want the whole damn dollar.” When it came to the in-betweens, the nuts and bolts of policies or numbers, the crowd quieted. Sanders attributes the fervor for his campaign to young people defying the stereotype of the self-absorbed millennial. “Young people understand they are the future of the country,” Sanders said. “And they damn well want to influence that future.” Not everyone at the rally supported Sanders though.
