In indiana. Senator ted cruz just hours ago ended or i guess technically suspended his president ial campaign announcing he no longer had a path to stopping trump from taking the nomination. From the beginning ive said that i would continue on as long as there was a viable path to victory. Tonight im sorry to say it appears that path has been foreclosed.

Then theres a letter hand delivered to President Trump by a former north korean spy chief. What was in that letter . That letter was a very nice letter. Oh, would you like to see whats in that letter . Would you tell us . How much . How much . I havent seen the letter yet. I purposefully didnt open the letter.
