Lyin’ Ted Cruz calls it quits

Austin, TX-- Cuban-American, Canadian-born, Ted Cruz ended his desperate race to the White House tonight. Despite being mathematically eliminated, Cruz took extraordinary measures to attract attention — his efforts failed to persuade his own party to vote for him.

The Republican Party is now facing a stark truth: reality-TV star Donald Trump will be their presidential nominee.

Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa issued the following statement:

“Cruz was beat by his own game. Inflammatory rhetoric, anti-immigrant policies and dirty politics dominated the Republican Primary.

“Like most of the Republican Party, Cruz has been obsessed with fringe issues and the politics of fear. But this time he met his bigoted match.

“It's time for Republicans to get real comfortable with dangerous Donald Trump being the voice and face of their party. It's time for lyin’ Ted Cruz to start preparing for his 2018 Republican primary for Senate.”
