It's definitely time for Cruz to stop doing the GOPe's dirty work for them, in an effort to stop Trump. Cruz will get nothing out of it and he is burning any future he may have had in politics.
If he is smart, he will suspend his campaign gracefully, pledge his delegates to Trump and focus on supporting Trump, so we can beat Hillary or whoever the Dem nominee may be.

Cruz has run a laughably bad campaign. If he was smart he would disappear and hope people forget about him him until his senate race. Of course, he hasn’t been smart up to now.

One reservation some of us have about Trump is he’s a boastful winner and a bad loser. Maybe it’s a Midwestern thing, humble farm stock and all, but let’s hope he is bright enough to at least fake the sentiment “Aw, shucks”. If he can do that he’ll beat the living s#!+ out of Hillary.

We are not a country built on hatred. We are not a country built on anger, built on pettiness. We are not a country built on bullying. We are not a country about selfishness.— Ted Cruz
Cruz is right. We're not. That's why we're choosing Trump, the right man for the job who wil help us rebuild our country without personifying any of those negative characteristics with which Ted Cruz attempts to falsely smear Donald Trump.
This is a big reason Cruz has faded. All he has left is derogation of Donald Trump as a hater, etc.
And everybody knows that Donald Trump isn't those things.
Thus Cruz's rhetoric rings false and disingenuous.
Combine that with his outrageous distortions of Trump's policy positions, and it adds up to a typical Machiavellian politician who will do or say anything in order to win, whether it's true or not.
If Ted Cruz makes the right decision after losing Indiana, he still has a chance to salvage his reputation somewhat.
But if he loses Indiana and then still refuses to help unite the party, he will have officially jumped the shark. Right now, it's unofficial.
Vote Trump

He will do whatever the people with the checkbooks tell him to do. I hope he has a job lined up in the private sector with them.

“He will do whatever the people with the checkbooks tell him to do. I hope he has a job lined up in the private sector with them.”
Nobody will want him after he loses, and he will lose.
His only chance is to act gracious, withdraw now, endorse Trump and help him beat Hillary.

I was called by the Cruz camp on the phone about 45 minutes ago (I live in Indiana). I could tell it was an older guy and he was diligently reading his script and it took me a while to interupt him but I finally did. I almost felt bad for him. I said I'm sorry but we're going to Trump, he paused and said "Okay, Thank you ..." and I could hear the disappointment in his voice. I'm guess he heard that alot tonight.
I admire these folks for working for their candidate, I admit it's more than I've ever done, I only vote. I just don't get how these guys can see through Cruz? I mean they have to know he can't win and the only one that benefits by him staying in is the GOP establishment that brought us Dole, McCain, Romney, it's been the Globetrotters vs Generals for far too long. It's amazing to me, truly utterly atounding that they cannot face the truth.
I get it, I mean, I'm a Christian and believe the Bible cover to cover, I'm a short earth type of guy too, not that it's a salvation issue. But we are not voting for a religious leader, when I was younger I would get the two mixed up. I believe when the Israelites were begging for a King it was Samuel who went before God and was saddened that the people we're rejecting him. But God said, "it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king.

For all the talk about how smart Ted is he sure hasn't shown any of those smarts since he started running for President. IMHo, he lacks common sense and lacking that, however much CPU power he may have it's mostly . . .

Once Trump wins Indiana, I think he should stop mentioning Lyin Ted altogether. Focusing on Hillary will get Trump more media attention and we can start the run for the General!

“Cruz and his allies have poured every resource and maneuver at their disposal into the state in an urgent, last-ditch effort to derail the controversial billionaire mogul.”
Not to win, mind you, but to stop Trump.
Pretty much tells you all you need to know about the (soon to be former) Cruz campaign.

Cruz going to the convention is a Kamikaze pilot, poisonous even as SCOTUS or AG.
