In final Indiana insult, failed candidate accidentally elbows his wife in the face on stage



Ted Cruz quit the caustic Republican primary race Tuesday after getting routed by Donald Trump in Indiana and deciding there was no way he could stop the bombastic real estate mogul from seizing the party's nomination.
‘From the beginning, I’ve said that I would continue on as long as there was a viable path to victory,' the Texas senator told a crowd of stunned supporters Tuesday night, as the full magnitude of his loss was still being realized.
'Tonight, I’m sorry to say … it appears that path has been foreclosed,’ Cruz continued, to shouts of ‘No!’ from his supporters.'
'And so with heavy heart, but with boundless optimism for the long-term future of our nation, we are suspending our campaign,' Cruz said.
Together, we left it all on the field in Indiana,’ Cruz told his backers – notably using a football reference, after infamously botching a basketball reference during his Indiana campaign.
Cruz told a crowd in Indiana: ‘We gave it everything we’ve got. But the voters chose another path. And so, with a heavy heart, but with boundless optimism for the long term future of our nation, we are suspending our campaign.
Cruz didn't mention Trump by name – though he appeared to single him out when he said, 'We are not boastful or mean spirited."
He dropped repeated references to Ronald Reagan and defense of the Constitution, keeping a path open for any future White House run.
