Will Indiana Go Trump or Cruz?

What role can Indiana play in the republican primary? To say the least, Indiana has been a non factor in previous presidential primary's.

This cycle is hugely different though. With the Trump, Cruz knock down drag out battle on the republican side and the Hillary, Bernie battle on the democrat side Indiana does matter.

Indiana is not a win or die level of importance but with each vote on the first ballet as valuable as gold, Indiana will get far more attention than the norm.

Indiana is for the most part a republican leaning state with having only gone democrat on the presidential ticket once in recent political history 2008 and Obama.

Hillary would seem to have the advantage in Indiana for the primary win over Bernie. As Bernie is a little to far left of center for Indiana democrat voters.

The Trump, Cruz contest is a little more difficult to call though. Trump's message on trade, works well with the manufacturing base in Indiana but it cut the wrong way with Indiana's farmers.
Farm products are one of the few places where The Unites States has a trade surplus. This places Trumps positions on trade as a huge problem with Indiana's farmers who don't want that boat rocked.

Cruz's conservatism is a good fit with Indiana as a whole but That pesky 35% that are Trump supporters no matter what. Will likely give Trump the upper hand in Indiana's delegate count.

Indiana being an open primary gives an advantage to Trump as well.

Effectsof climate change on coffee Production.

Effects of Climate Change on Coffee Production Reduced crop yields are a result of drought in some regions and increased humidity and precipitation in others. For example, increase moisture leads to the proliferation of pests like the Coffee Berry Borer and diseases including ‘la rosa’ or stem rust. Coffee rust hit central American coffee production in 2012-13. As a result, prices for consumers in the U.S. jumped about 33% from 2011 – 2013. Coffee production is dependent on predictable cycles of rainfall, dry periods and temperature changes. Coffee typically flowers when there’s a dry period followed by significant rainfall. Generally, a dry period of three months is necessary to stress the coffee plant and produce flowers. However, a shorter dry period and extended rainfall can result in reduced flowers. Fluctuations in weather patterns such as precipitation, temperature, storms, strong winds, and other extreme weather patterns can negatively affect the quality and production l

Trump is removing US Secret Service director

Israel..... put up or shut up on US involvement on UN vote.

Israel say it has proof that the US was behind the resent UN vote that is causing a diplomatic earth quake. John Kerry denies the charge in strongest of "diplomatic" terms. So will Israel have to put up or shut up? Not really. Israel spy's on the US as we spy on them. To "put up" would be to do exactly what Obama would want. To publicly expose there (Israel's) intelligence gathering ability for all to see would do greater harm than a UN vote. Obama and John Kerry are soon out of power. Israel knows it and Trump knows it This childish in your face move by Obama and Kerry will fade as surely as Hillary Clinton has. Obama takes a parting shot at Israel
