Ted Cruz Drops Out Of The Republican Presidential Race (washingtonpost.com)

rmdingler writes: Ted Cruz drops out of the presidential race after losing in Indiana. Donald Trump has become the presumptive nominee before Hillary has locked things up versus Bernie. This is huge. Cruz's decision to drop out came after losing significantly to Trump in the Indiana primary. "I said I would continue on as long as there is a viable path to victory. Tonight I'm sorry to say, it appears that path has been foreclosed," Cruz told a small group of supporters Tuesday night. "Together we left it all on the field in Indiana. We gave it everything we got, but the voters chose another path." He said he would "continue to fight for liberty," but did not say whether or not he would support Trump as the nominee. The exit comes soon after he announced former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina as his running mate in a desperate move to keep his candidacy afloat.

Re:"Huge" isn't what I'd say

It is time for you to grow up, Bruce. We've all seen the what happens when a group of people decide to "maximize liberty for everyone" at gunpoint.

Do you not remember the Soviet gulags and pogroms? Holodomor in the Ukraine? Rape and slaughter behind the Iron Curtain from one end of Eastern Europe to the other? Butchery in Vietnam, Cambodia and Korea? Mao's Great Leap into mass graves?

Liberty for Me is liberty for everyone, because everyone is Me to someone. Liberty for Everyone is slavery and slaughter, 100% of the time, without fail or exception, because everyone is no-one to the guys holding the guns.
