Yeah... Time to stop messing around. Sanders needs to drop out, so the D's can do the same. Now. I mean, the electoral map is unfavorable to Trump, but that isn't something that should be risked at all. And that's not touching on down ticket races at all. With this, the R's have informally just wrapped up their nomination process so the D's need to do the same.
I will always remember Ted fondly, not for what he did for our nation, but for what he did for our entertainment.

As someone who spends too much time on free republic its been interesting watching the rise and fall of Cruz.
Everyone was sure he'd be the nominee and he had the whole conservative movement behind him then along comes Trump who was dismissed by everyone at first.
At the beginning he was the outsider coming to "bring America back to its constitutional origin" and now at the end most his supporters abandoned him and everyone thinks he's nothing but the establishment puppet controlled by wall street and the elite of the gop.
But hey at least he's got a experienced person around to help layoff his campaign staff.

Most people did. Boehner is Boehner but you don't hear quotes like those about your typical candidate. Cruz came off as vicious and scary. I think the majority of the Cruz support was just panic-stricken GOP lifers desperately voting to spite Trump and thinking their harebrained scheme would work.

Why's he ending his campaign? I thought earlier today he said be would continue if Indiana was lost.

Where does this even leave Kasich now? And will this affect Cruz's career in the Senate much? His campaign at least had some success unlike Rubio's.

Kasich is the wrestler at the Royal Rumble that everyone thinks was eliminated but his feet never actually touched the floor when he was tossed over the ropes.

Watching Trump win the nomination was like watching a little kid win musical chairs by making his own music with armpit farts.

I've never read a tweet with more #contempt than that
Still can't believe this is actually happening. No way in hell Trump wins the general, sorry, but no way.

My father, a staunch conservative, just texted me #NEVERNEVERNEVERNEVERNEVERTRUMP. In fact I know several conservatives who have said they would vote for Hillary in this matchup.
GOP so fucked

Carly probably started making some campaign suggestions and Ted just said, Fuck This. I'm Out.

Trump just kept winning and winning. Now with Indiana, he's just 200 short of the nomination, which is virtually impossible to lose even if Cruz was still running.

Trump is going to actually be the nominee.
I mean, I expected him to the nominee, but now that's it happening...
...what a time to be alive.

Delusional. The best thing they can do is outright denounce Trump. Hitching onto his wagon is just going to make them look even worse.
The Sliders are going to take one look, curse under their breaths, shake their heads and then move on to the next dimension, hoping to find home.

He's not going to get a lot of moderates, a good chunk of staunch conservatives and any of the "lesser evil" libertarians who voted GOP.
GOP is indeed done.
