No…just yuk. As Admiral Rickover once said to me…you have a face that only a mother could love, but I doubt Cruz’s mother loves his face.

I’m surprised Cruz is dropping out now. Despite how unliked he is by, well, everyone, his team seems far more capeable than Trump’s with the delegate process that between now and then he would still have a decent enough minority to likely push Trump on certain issues. Unless he’s trying to play nice for Trump give him a VP nod but that seems unlikely as well.

Glad to see him lose but Trump is still a walking disaster for the future of the Republican party, so it’s win-win for us Democrats either way.

One of the worst candidates of my lifetime. A man who made Nixon look charismatic by comparison.

I’m really surprised no one in the gop is talking about running 3rd party. It just seems they are just going to roll over and take it from trump

Hmmm … is Donald going to choose Ted as his running mate – to, you know, “unify the party?”

Starving Republican voters have had to choose between gorging themselves on a large bowl of vomit or an equal-sized bowl of phlegm … or being satisfied with a small morsel of stale white bread named Kasich.

I think this is the end of Cruz. He’s going to slink back to the Senate, where he’s still unliked. Next stop wingnut welfare.

Only if Fiorina can come aboard as well as an Assistent Deputy Vice Presidential candidate.

Nugent? Maybe. Maybe Giuliani.

I guess I knew this was coming. I can’t listen to more than 10 seconds of Ted Cruz without inadvertently causing damage to whatever electronic device is reproducing his voice. I can’t stand Ted Cruz. Which, I guess, is why I really wanted him to win.

No, I am frightened of what is to come. Hillary’s loss tonight only makes it more frightening. While the Republicans resign himself to evil, the Democrats refuse to choose a champion.

Wonder if Sen. Coburn and the GOP mafia will show Cruz the door with a map to the unemployment line in 2018?

The ballot registration windows are closing to get in on all 50 states. Now, what might happen is that Gary Johnson, former Republican Governor from New Mexico, is the Lib nominee. He will be on the ballot in every state. Expect some of the disaffected Republican votes to go there. Mostly all the Republicans are going to hold their noses and vote Trump, or stay home.

Maybe my joy is in Indianapolis tonight.

Nugent will run the Dept. of Justice. Giuliani will run Homeland Security.

I think about 10%-15% of GOP women who voted Romney will cross-over and vote for Clinton.
