Breaking News: Trump trounces Cruz in Indiana primary

Cruz suspends campaign; Kasich stays the course

After a self-described "last stand," Senator Ted Cruz suspended his campaign for the Republican nomination for president following an overwhelming loss in the Indian primary, basically ceding the race to his hated arch-rival, businessman Donald J. Trump.

Not so fast says Ohio governor John Kasich who vowed, after finishing a distant third in the Indiana primary, he will remain in the race until Trump secures the GOP nomination.

After making his statement Kasich reportedly went to bed, but not before eating leftovers from his campaigning in New York, including a veal parm hero, a cheese cannelloni, two knishes, a pastrami sandwich, a box of (Kosher for The Passover) matzos and three chocolate chip cannolis.

In an exclusive interview with Around the Block, Fiorina, who up to five minutes ago was Cruz’s vice-presidential running mate, said, “I have called Donald Trump, congratulated him on his victory in Indiana, and told him that I would be honored to be his running mate in the general election.”

When reminded that Trump recently referred to her as “Ugly Lyin’ Carly,” Fiorina said, “That’s just Donald being Donald. And, of course, the fact is I am ugly and I am a liar, which makes me the perfect running mate for Mr. Trump," going on to say, "Donald can lie, I can lie, Donald has ugly hair, I have an ugly face; it couldn't be more perfect. And, beyond that, I desperately need a job
