‘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.
