May 4, 201610 yr Just got an alert on my phone...Cruz is out. Ted Cruz to drop presidential bid - CNNPolitics.com
May 4, 201610 yr Author http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/04/us/politics/ted-cruz.html?_r=0 INDIANAPOLIS — Senator Ted Cruz of Texas is ending his presidential campaign, according to his campaign manager, bowing to the reality that his crushing loss in Indiana all but assured the nomination of Donald J. Trump. Mr. Cruz, who staked his bid in the Republican race on a message of conservative purity and religious faith, had suffered through weeks of setbacks as the primary calendar reached the Northeast, where Mr. Trump significantly expanded his lead. But the senator had hoped to find more favorable terrain in Indiana, dashing across the state for over a week in a last-ditch effort to unify Republicans who viewed Mr. Trump’s success as an existential threat to the party. Since entering the race over a year ago, Mr. Cruz had far exceeded most expectations, energizing hard-line conservatives and casting his toxic relationships with Senate colleagues as an asset as he railed against “the Washington cartel.” After months spent embracing Mr. Trump as a worthy presence in the field, Mr. Cruz abruptly changed course weeks before the Iowa caucuses, where he outmaneuvered Mr. Trump to emerge as his chief rival for the remainder of the primary season. The rest of the calendar was less kind. Early on, the Cruz campaign bet big on the South, hoping a sweep through the Super Tuesday primaries on March 1 would boost his delegate count. Though Mr. Cruz carried his home state of Texas, as well as Oklahoma, Mr. Trump’s victories elsewhere forced an instant scramble from the Cruz campaign to rejigger its playbook.
May 4, 201610 yr Author Cool. Does this mean that we don't have to look at his weird creepy face anymore?Hopefully he'll climb back into his coffin like a good vampire and just go away.
May 4, 201610 yr Author Trump and Kasich now!!!!! CNN is melting down, lol... When is Kasich going to drop out...he was mathematically eliminated almost before he got started. I never thought Trump would win but has it went on I became less and less surprised. This honestly should have been Rubio's run, but a couple of poor debate performances killed him this cycle.
May 4, 201610 yr Kasich can gather some more donations to pay some bills, but he's going to look silly if he don't quit soon.
May 4, 201610 yr Crazy stat , Trump closes the deal before HRC. I could have made some serious cash, had I took that bet. Omg....
May 4, 201610 yr Hopefully he'll climb back into his coffin like a good vampire and just go away. He always appeared to be an SNL comedian imitating a politician, rather than a true politician that could be taken seriously. The laughable and freaky part is that he takes himself seriously, and apparently many others did too for him to get this far.
May 4, 201610 yr Hopefully he'll climb back into his coffin like a good vampire and just go away. Canada Presidential election is in 2019. Maybe he can rescind his termination of his Canada citizenship and make another run there.

I couldn't find much to like about him, as far as likability goes the only ones I put behind him were Bernie and Kasich...I actually like Hillary personally more than Cruz, setting politics aside.

May 4, 201610 yr ... This honestly should have been Rubio's run, but a couple of poor debate performances killed him this cycle. Please no more light-weight senators or congressmen - from either party. Rubio had good face going for him.
