Some politicians are selfless and put America First.

Then there’s Ted Cruz.

In 2012 Newt Gingrich dropped out of the presidential race following a five state sweep.

Politico reported:

Following his five-state shutout this week, Newt Gingrich will suspend his yearlong campaign for president on Tuesday, multiple sources close to the campaign confirmed… “We’re going to look realistically at where we’re at,” Gingrich said at an election-night rally in North Carolina. “We are going to think carefully about how we can be the most helpful to this country.”

Ted Cruz has now been crushed in six contests in a row and was mathematically eliminated on Tuesday night.
