NDIANAPOLIS — Moments before Ted Cruz publicly ended a campaign for president that had lasted more than a year, he stood backstage and thanked his closest friends, supporters and advisers for their help and support. Some sat at round tables. Conservative commentator and TV host Glenn Beck stood and watched. A bar table covered with Starbucks cups and an ironing board with an upright iron stood off to the side. When Cruz finished speaking, the group of about 50 people applauded — several of them wiping away tears — and Cruz’s campaign manager, Jeff Roe, walked away from them, looking down, and shook his head. Cruz’s speech to a group of a few hundred devoted followers from the main stage minutes later was met with disbelief and anguish. “From the beginning, I’ve said that I would continue on as long as there was a viable path to victory,” Cruz said. Murmurs rose in the audience. “I’m sorry to say,” Cruz said — and cries of “No, no!” rang out — “it appears that path has been foreclosed.” This brought an even louder “NO!” As Cruz announced that he was suspending his campaign “with a heavy heart,” a girl of about 12 began to sob. Her father stood nearby with his hand over his mouth and said, “What are you doing?” Cruz sought to reassure his followers inside the Grand Hall Ballroom of the Crowne Plaza hotel. “Hear me now: I am not suspending our fight for liberty,” he said. His father and mother, divorced 20 years ago but standing next to one another on this night, stood behind him. A gaggle of Cruz’s campaign staff stood 20 feet from the stage, many of them red-eyed. After Cruz finished his speech, he began to greet supporters in the front of the crowd, but then abruptly returned backstage after just a few moments, apparently too emotional to continue.

Remember when you Paultards kept posting how Trump would never be the Republican Party choice.... with all your vast conspiracy theories of how they were going to keep him out? You based your bullshit on the ball kicking that Ron Paultard got by the (R) party... but the big difference between Paultard and Trump is POPULARITY. It's called VIABILITY... you know, a word I used a million times at LP on the rabid Paultard threads.
Remember when you Paultards kept posting how Trump would never be .... would never be President. He won't. Trump is a Mitt Romney clone... progressive NE libtard authoritarian, Bruce Jenner hugging, transsexual bathroom loving, wannabe global tyrant, but mostly a shill for the D wing of the party, Obama, Hillary, and Bernie Sanders. I never supported Cruz, that's a figment of your imagination because you're stupid enough to believe that YOU have to choose between Trump or Cruz. You don't have to vote for either POS. They both equal Hillary, because they're both LOSERS! You're a shill for Hillary. You deserve Hillary, but we don't. The GrandIsland Nation

It is a little early to call that, we don't know who the contestants are, I think it might be a republican victory only because this contest has made a lot of people politically aware
