Hollywood Blasts GOP Candidates on Twitter After Cruz Paves Way for Trump

Following his loss to Donald Trump in Tuesday’s Indiana GOP primary, Texas Senator Ted Cruz announced his decision to drop out of the presidential race, leaving the path clear to Trump. 

Shortly after his speech, he told supporters, “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.”

His announcement, and the realization that the GOP nominee is now likely to be Trump, caused a firestorm on Twitter with reactions from both sides of the political field. Tuesday evening, the terms #CruzOut, #IndianaPrimary, Ted Cruz, Republican and Carly Fiorina (Cruz’s presumptive running mate) were all trending on Twitter. 

Great of Cruz to wait till now to be honest about how awful Trump is and STILL he won’t say he won’t support him. https://t.co/68q0LZR5ZY

It just wasn’t your time Ted Cruz. If only you had run in 1788.

Ted Cruz: Well now I can relax a little.

**Relaxes by eating a live vole & hanging upside down in an abandoned refrigerator.

Ted Cruz just said what built his campaign was the support of 4 year olds. So long, douchebag.

Amazing speech by Trump. Totally presidential, though I did miss not having steaks and wine on stage.

In a campaign of utter absurdity, Trump trying out his new unity theme is the most absurd.

#Cruz is out of the race. Now, the question is: Can @realDonaldTrump unify the GOP and get former haters on his side.

Can’t help but wonder how @CarlyFiorina is feeling tonight about hitching her wagon on to that!
