Ted Cruz has dropped out of the race for president as he loses Indiana that effectively plugged the last path to victory.  In his announcement, he didn’t mention Donald Trump.  Instead he focused his speech on the optimism of Ronald Reagan and his own vision for America.  He had promised to stay in to the very end but with the landslide loss to Trump, his 7th in a row in which Trump got over 50% in all 7 states and over 60% in 3 of them.

John Kasich vows to keep fighting to the end.  What he doesn’t realize is that it’s the end.  There is no longer the possibility of a brokered convention.

Cruz has been abrasive and nasty but in his concession speech he took the high road and told his voters that although he won’t be the nominee but that he will continue to fight for his beliefs and the future of America.
