Politico: Ted Cruz drops out of presidential race
'With a heavy heart but with boundless optimism for the long-term future of our nation, we are suspending our campaign,' Cruz says.
Ted Cruz dropped out of the presidential race on Tuesday night, ending one of the best-organized campaigns of 2016 after a series of stinging defeats left Donald Trump as the only candidate capable of clinching the nomination outright.

The amazing thing is: this means Trump is going to be the presumptive nominee for his party before Hillary is for hers (she's a strong frontrunner but it still isn't over for her, the way it effectively is for Trump). No one expected that, even people who expected Trump to win.
Viva Mr Donald Trump for USA president
