The reason we suspended the race last week was with the in loss, I didn’t see a path to victory.

“We’ll see what happens”, he said.
The Texas Senator, who existed the contest last week after multiple defeats, told conservative host Glenn Beck on Tuesday that he might restart his campaign if he wins Nebraska’s GOP primary.
But Cruz said of his prospects during the interview: ‘I don’t think that’s very likely’.
As a “trusted confidante” of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, Ben Carson reached out to House Speaker Paul Ryan Tuesday night in preparation for Ryan’s Thursday meeting with Trump.
“Well listen this is a choice every voter is going to have to make”.
“There’s going to be a lot of thinking, a lot of praying and a lot talking between all of us”, said Kay Godwin, a Cruz delegate from Blackshear, Georgia. They’re buoyed a bit by new polling that finds Trump competitive in the swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Ted Cruz of Texas said Tuesday that he wouldn’t be endorsing Donald Trump – yet. Although the candidate himself dropped out of contention after the IN primary, Cruz loyalists and pro-Cruz convention delegates are reportedly planning a committee coup, created to protect the Republican Party platform from Trump’s influence. Trump has opposed Cruz’s proposal that government and businesses be allowed to provide separate bathrooms for transgender people.
The pressure was applied one day before the Speaker is set to meet with the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, a meeting which Ryan has already admitted he doesn’t go into with the highest of expectations.
Cruz responded to Trump’s “kooky” attack, calling him a “pathological liar”, an “utterly amoral bully” and a “narcissist” who essentially makes President Obama look like an amateur by comparison.
“While it’s a busy week on the political front, it also happens to be an important week on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives”, an open letter from Spokeswoman AshLee Strong wrote Tuesday. While Cruz once called Trump “a friend” and “terrific”, he held an abrupt press conference hours before ending his campaign where he derided Trump as a “serial philanderer”, an “amoral pathological liar”, and a “braggadocious arrogant buffoon”.
“More broadly than that.(we) want to see a president we can trust: a president we can trust with power, who demonstrates the temperament not to abuse that power”, he said.
Ted Cruz has suspended his presidential campaign, but he wants to keep the delegates he won in the Alaska presidential preference poll. “I can see his comments now as perfectly legitimate, that he just needed to know more”.

Cruz further took aim at the brash real estate mogul without mentioning him by name, suggesting the party’s presumptive standard bearer wasn’t worthy of the title. The group’s goal is to raise $15 million through the end of the Republican convention, he said.
