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.

    That didn't stop her from jumping on that train, even when the imminent derailment was in sight.

    Must be nobody told her there wasn't another $40 million golden parachute at the end of this failure.

    Actually Obama has issued the lowest number of executive orders per year of office since William McKinley in 1901.
