In an unexpected series of tweets early this morning, Trump dropped out of the race, saying that he was "sick of people being mean" to him, he was gonna "take his ball and go home," and that he now supports Clinton in full because "she's easy enough to buy off."

Link.

You couldn't have Rickrolled or something. That link actually went to Trump's site.

While reporters tried to reach out to the new presumed front leader, Ted Cruz, for comment, as of press time, he could not be reached. However, a sign on the window of his campaign headquarters read "BRB - DECIDED TO GO JOIN ISIS". A spokesperson for Cruz said the senator "finally realized if he was serious about pissing off as many Muslims as possible, threats about taking unconstitutional actions against their communities just wasn't cutting it."

This just in from the API News Service - Bob Dole, 92 year old former US Senator, Vice Presidential and Presidential candidate, has offered himself as a compromise candidate if the GOP Convention is deadlocked. Asked to explain his reasoning he muttered: "Well, my wife might be older than Mrs Cruz and Mrs Trump but she's still pretty damn hot."

On a beach, of course.

The really scary thing is that he seems like a reasonable option compared to the current front runners.

Such a pity Clinton pulled out of the race immediately after Trump's endorsement to fulfil her lifelong dream of opening a chain of bakeries.

And now, all the rest of the major party candidates follow Trump. It's Gary Johnson vs. Jill Stein in November!

I was just reading the news of Trump suspending, Ted Cruz is considering suspension also. Hillary is apparently threatening to expose the Trump/Cruz/Clinton three-way they had. At this time, she was not clear if the Clinton involved was her or Bill.
