Texas Tea Party Republican Senator Badly Beaten by Manhattan Billionaire

Ted Cruz has just dropped out of the Republican presidential campaign. The Texas freshman Senator who ran on a platform of Christian extremism, anti-LGBT civil rights, and anti-abortion, moments ago accepted reality after Donald Trump decisively won Indiana by double digits.Â

Cruz was the first candidate to enter the 2016 presidential race, and even chose a running mate just last week, Carly Fiorina.Â

Cruz made many mistakes, among them his attack on all New Yorkers when he lambasted “New York Values.”

Politico was the first to report, minutes ago:
