Breaking news: Sen. Ted Cruz is withdrawing from the Republican presidential primary, effectively ceding the GOP nomination to businessman and reality-TV star Donald Trump.

It was past time for Cruz to finally do this.

But I haven't read anywhere that he endorsed Trump. I hope he does that also very soon, to unite the Republicans to focus on winning the White House.

He hates Trump so much he’ll never endorse Trump. He’s the worst sore loser I’ve ever seen.

Now, his voters should join the Trump movement. Even though I’m not sure Trump needs them. There’s obviously not that many of them. ha!

Heidi was fighting back tears.

One or both of them is going to need counseling. I mean this in all sincerity. This is a narcissist and a codependent relationship. They will not handle this loss well.

Sad to see you go, Mr Cruz, but you ran a terrible campaign, and still took more states than any non-winning GOP candidate in history... with one exception: Reagan in 1976... and he was the nominee and elected in 1980, after Ford lost to Carter the Disaster. Trump is going to lose to Hillary the Disaster, so hopefully 2020 will be your time... if there’s anything left of the US by then.
