Ted Cruz suspended his campaign for the Republican nomination Tuesday after front-runner Donald Trump crushed the Texas senator in the Indiana primary and essentially locked up the Republican Party nomination.
“We gave it all we got. But the voters chose another path,” he said. “We are suspending our campaign. But hear me now I am not suspending our fight for liberty.”
All eyes were on Indiana, where Democrat front-runner Hillary Clinton is now running neck-and-neck with Bernie Sanders.
Trump had predicted the Midwestern state would officially end any challenge rival Cruz posed in the race for the GOP nomination. Cruz and Kasich had been working to deny Trump delegates he needs to secure the nomination before the July convention.
“If we win Indiana, it’s over,” Trump told supporters at a Monday rally in Carmel, Indiana. “They’re finished. They’re gone.”
Trump has won at least 45 of the state’s delegates and may take all 57.
What do YOU think? Can anything stop Trump now? Sound off in today’s WND poll!
Trump is riding a wave of momentum after his five-state sweep in the Northeast last week.
As WND reported, the animosity between Trump and Cruz reached a fever pitch Tuesday after the GOP front-runner cited an unsubstantiated National Enquirer story claiming Cruz’s father was linked to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The tabloid magazine claimed Rafael Cruz was photographed standing beside Lee Harvey Oswald three months before Kennedy was shot and killed.
Trump gave the story an extra boost on national television when he called into Fox News Tuesday and said: “[Cruz’s] father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald’s being – you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous. What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up. They don’t even talk about that. That was reported, and nobody talks about it. I mean, what was he doing – what was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death? Before the shooting? It’s horrible.”

Cruz responded to Trump’s “kooky” attack, calling the GOP front-runner a “pathological liar,” an “utterly amoral bully” and a “narcissist” who essentially makes President Obama look like an amateur by comparison.
Cruz told reporters Tuesday morning at a campaign stop in Evansville, Indiana, with his wife Heidi and running mate Carly Fiorina by his side, that Trump “went on national television and attacked my father.”
“Let’s be clear, this is nuts. This is not a reasonable position. This is just kooky,” he said. “And while I’m at it, I guess I should go ahead and admit, ‘Yes, my dad killed JFK, he is secretly Elvis, and Jimmy Hoffa is buried in his backyard.'”
On Tuesday evening, Trump tweeted, “Wow, Lyin’ Ted Cruz really went wacko today. Made all sorts of crazy charges. Can’t function under pressure – not very presidential. Sad!”
He also tweeted, “Lyin’ Ted Cruz consistently said that he will, and must, win Indiana. If he doesn’t he should drop out of the race-stop wasting time & money.”
