Just in: @TedCruz is ending his presidential campaign, campaign manager Jeff Roe tells me.
Get help.
You sound angry.

No concession speech at all?
Last Tuesday was the nail in the coffin, Indiana is when he realizes hes inside it.
Paul Manafort was right.
Cruz was a conservative candidate, someone I have been waiting to support for years. Trump insulted Cruz and his family in the worst possible way. I will NEVER support or vote for Trump. He represents the absolute worst in politics. He ran a classic democrat campaign of personal destruction. Good luck supporting this clown.
Cruz personally insulted your fellow FReepers when called Trump supporters “low info”. I can’t recall a candidate ever doing that. But I see your fine with that. How principled and conservative of you.
I have voted in EVERY presidential election for 40 years. I have not decided yet, but this could be the first one I sit out and I am VERY, VERY UNAPPRECIATIVE of the way the Trump supporters have acted, treating a Christian man in a very unchristian manner.
It was a two way street. Cruz dished it out as good as he took it. Given that, I think it’s best to let bygones by bygones.
yup. saw this handwriting on the wall way back in jan. wrong strategy, as in “career ending” wrong. i’ll certainly never write another check for cruz again.
Glenn Beck and Mark Levin are now officially on suicide watch.
I’ll give Ted credit for not sticking it out until he has to be dragged away kicking and screaming and even the guy that lights his cigars has quit the campaign.
I was very happy to be proved wrong about that.
“I liked Rubio.”
Figures...
I don’t understand the candidates that did that. How does that thinking go? “Hmmm, as a fellow Republican candidate, I’m trying to win over Trump’s supporters to my camp. How will I do that? I know!! I’ll call them nutsos and whackos, then I’ll call them ‘low-information’. Little old ladies know that I’m actually calling them ‘stupid’. That’ll work brilliantly, they’ll come running to me!!!”
“I thought Cruz dropped out, not suspended.”
I just listened to part of his concession speech. He clearly stated that he’s suspending his campaign.
No; there must be a reward for ending the campaign before the convention. There will be no contested convention. Forgive and forget the bad times and work together to defeat Clinton. That is the rational path.
“I will NEVER support or vote for Trump.”
You might not want to double down on that, if you intend to continue posting here.
The boss has made it clear that posts such as yours will be considered a choice to exit this forum.
Trump responded like a gentleman, Cruz never congratulated him tonight.
He has never congratulated Trump for any of his victories, it shows what kind of person he is.Small and vindictive.
I hope somebody is keeping an eye on the Cheeto Bandido, he’s gonna be upset and he’s not real stable these days. For the first time in 8 years, I might listen to him on they way to work. There is a high probability that he’ll have a guest host on, though, called in by Glenn’s producer after he refuses to get out of bed.
Good luck supporting Hillary or Ralph Nader. Your choices are bleak there, chief.
“Glenn Beck and Mark Levin are now officially on suicide watch.”
Gonna be interesting to see how either one of them goes forward, after having gone all in for Cruz the way they did.
I mean, those two bet the farm on Ted. How the heck do they come back from such unbridled favoritism, now that their guy has lost?
I really don’t know how they can, or even if they can.
