    Inflicting legal damage because they don't agree is trying to force them to comply.

    Impossible. He's dropping out.

    How could anyone paying attention think Cruz is dropping out?

    Americans should worry about Americans.

    Outside opinions are fine and dandy, but in the end, irrelevant.
    You are not the only one, but certainly one of few..

    Well, she has her faults, to be sure. I'd much prefer Bernie Sanders, and indeed I voted for him in my state's primary. But I can hold my nose and vote for Clinton. As Bernie said " Either one of us is better than any of the Republicans." Her positions on women's reproductive rights, lgbt rights, immigration reform, and and college debt alone are enough to make her tolerable ( for me) compared to the GOP candidates.

    See, that's the thing. No, they don't. No, it's not over. Either can win by keeping Trump out of 1237 and then getting handed the nomination by the GOP later.

    Can't hold you at fault for that. That is your choice.

    Which is suicide for the GOP. It would defy logic and show nothing more than desperation at this point.

    That is a misconception of the misinformed, or lackluster informed.
    You are - as country - measured by your very actions. They determine whether your allies trust you, whether they are your allies, and whether they are and want to be your trade partners.
    Certain aspects are exclusively of domestic nature. But neither human rights, equality and the Presidency are such aspects.

    Guy will not be the nominee so I'm not sure why people care what he has to say anymore. Furthermore, I find this guy obnoxious.

    Other countries would be insane or desperate for feelgood points if they stopped trade / benefits with the US over our current president.

    They need us.

    Cruz and Kaisch are out of their minds.

    Especially after recent primary victories for Trump.

    Cruz / Kaisch and also Sanders need to drop. They lost. It's over.
    Agreed. If the merger Cruz/Kasich wasn't enough to make Trump lose, then nothing will. It's too late, he'll get in.

    And this is different from the last few months, how? State or national, poll after poll shows a split amongst GOP voters that doesn't give any of them a majority, at least, never a strong one. They have been in trouble for months, and their voters aren't changing their minds anytime soon. At least by hand-picking Cruz or Kasich they will get some credit from our neighbors across the globe, who have damn near universally criticized and/or mocked Trump. Except Putin.

    Errrrrrr....... You overestimating the US.
    The USA counts for 5% of the global population. There's an entire planet out there with over 6.5 billion people. That amounts to a lot of trade, to a lot of business.
    The world can perfectly exist without the US, not so the other way around.
    When was the last time you've looked at countries that run on isolationism? Or thought that the world needs them more than they need the world?
    The desirable situation is a world where we live together as partners. Because that benefits everyone.

    it would be amazing if trump decides to make an announcement at 3pm, and just completely steal the cameras and attention from cruz. unless Cruz is announcing he is dropping out.

    And we need them... So its just as stupid of us to elect an idiot that the entire world hates.

    Who do you think will cave first? EU governments who cater to their own citizens or US big business via both political parties...?

    Its already happened really... Charles Koch, the billionaire who is more or less the biggest conservative donor there is, said in an interview recently something along the lines of Hillary Clinton being a better option than any of the Republicans running...

    You're ignoring the reality that whites still dominate Latin American politics as a minority group, and that it's highly likely that the US will devolve into a civil war in the coming decades that ultimately culminates in the expulsion of millions.
