He has impacted on all of us. Even Prince wrote a song about him, as Trump had met him several times.
Trump is asking for all republicans to now unite. He's asking Cruz and Kasich to drop out and unite. Why don't you? Tell us clearly Ted and John why don't you?
Each week that you fail to drop out only makes you look more petty and smaller in our eyes, and for sure in Trump's too.
