King wanted to make sure no viewers were confused by the jokes that the MSNBC hosts were making about his feelings regarding Cruz.

And in Washington, the Trump campaign sent out an email to their Washington supporters.

Campaigning is over, and residents of the 12th Congressional District have chosen Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination.

“All this stuff about free stuff would be great”, he said, arguing that it would raise the federal debt to $30 trillion.

Trusted Leadership PAC, the predominant super PAC backing Cruz, reported taking in $4.5 million, the bulk of it coming from other super PACs and a pair of seven-figure donations.
