5/2/16, "Trump sees a decisive Indiana victory at hand, gears up to take on Clinton," Washington Post,
"Trump has been drawing large, enthusiastic crowds at his rallies
here. Steven Shine, the longtime chairman of the Allen County Republican
Party, attended events and met privately with both candidates in recent
days. Shine, who has not endorsed either man, said there is no question
Trump has an edge.
“I think Indiana is a very plain-speaking state and Trump is the consummate plain-speaker,” Shine said.
The
endorsement of legendary former Indiana University basketball coach
Bobby Knight, he said, was instrumental. “Knight says, ‘Hey, look, you
like my brand of leadership on the basketball court. I became a legend
because of the strength that I showed and this is what I believe Donald
Trump will show.’”
Four other sports stars endorsed Trump on
Monday: Fred “The Hammer” Williamson, a black actor and former NFL
defensive back; Lou Holtz, a retired football player, coach and analyst;
Gene Keady, who for 25 years was head basketball coach at Purdue
University in Indiana; and Digger Phelps, a former basketball coach at
Notre Dame.
Trump also made an unannounced visit to Shapiro’s
Delicatessen in downtown Indianapolis for lunch, where he was swarmed by
well-wishers."...
