No one imagined three days ago that a month would disappear from the campaign calendar.
The morning of the Indiana primary virtually everyone assumed there would be a fight for the GOP nomination at least to June 7, when California, New Jersey and several other states vote.
Many thought the contest could go on after June 7 because Donald Trump might still be a few delegates short.
Some hoped there would be a contested convention in July.
Suddenly, Tuesday night, Senator Ted Cruz cut either one or two months out of the calendar.
In a very wise, realistic step he suspended his candidacy. This allows him to avoid a month of negativity. It will serve him well. He leaves the race a much bigger, stronger figure than when he entered. He is plausibly a candidate for the Presidency in 2020 if Trump loses. (Actually, Cruz is so young he is plausibly a candidate for President in 2040). He has the name recognition and financial network to become a future governor of our second biggest state.
He would be a superb choice to fill the Scalia role on the Supreme Court. He can now take some time to think long and hard about his future.

The senate would never confirm Cruz for the Supreme Court. Democrats or Republicans
ReplyDeleteCruz is back in the race for President! Fox just announced it.
ReplyDeleteThey only announced what he said. If something viable happened he would reopen his campaign. He's probably waiting for another win in one of the remaining primary states.
