No! You will not see a Canadian become president of the United States… at least not in 2016. After losing yet another primary in Indiana to Donald Trump, Ted Cruz announced that his campaign is no more!

“From the beginning I’ve said that I would continue on as long as there was a viable path to victory. Tonight, I’m sorry to say, it appears that path has been foreclosed,” Cruz said during a Tuesday night speech. “The voters chose another path, and so with a heavy heart, but with boundless optimism for the long-term future of our nation, we are suspending our campaign.”

Marco Rubio Suspends His Campaign – Video

Every time he lost a primary, Marco Rubio talked big, big enough to almost convince his listeners that coming in 3rd or 4th or even last is better than coming in first. But his home state of Florida smacked him in the face on Tuesday by voting for Donald Trump to be president. In his concession speech, Marco Rubio was forced to face the truth, and told the crowd that his campaign was no more.

“While it is not God’s plan that I be President in 2016 or maybe ever and while today while today my campaign is suspended, the fact that I’ve even come this far is event of how special America truly is and all the reason more while we must do all that we can to ensure that this nation remains a special place. I ask the people do not give in to the fear, do not give in to the frustration.”

Money Calls – Ben Carson Suspends Campaign to Sell his New Book

You wouldn’t have Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson to kick around any more… well, at least for the next two weeks. The Republican is suspending his campaign to promote his new book.

Can you say priorities?

According to ABC News, Carson has put his public campaign events on hold to focus on fundraising events and stops to promote his new book, A More Perfect Union. He is scheduled to hold book signings next week in Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa.

Carson’s last public event was a health care town hall meeting in Des Moines, Iowa, on Oct. 2. He will not appear at a public campaign event again until the next Republican presidential debate in Boulder, Colorado, on Oct. 28.

Carson’s campaign staff will not travel with him while he’s on his book tour to avoid the unsavory image that he’s using his presidential bid to make money, a spokesman told ABC. But there are legal issues at hand, too. Federal law prohibits candidates from using campaign resources to profit personally.
