John Kasich suspending campaign: Source tells NBC News
John Kasich suspending campaign: Source tells NBC News

Republican U.S. presidential candidate John Kasich eats a pickle at PJ Bernstein's Deli Restaurant in New York City, April 16, 2016.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich plans to suspend his run to be the GOP presidential nominee, a senior campaign advisor told NBC News on Wednesday.
He had previously cancelled a planned event in order to make a Wednesday night statement in Ohio.
Kasich was left the only man standing against Donald Trump in the Republican presidential primary race after Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas suspended his run on Tuesday night.
Republican presidential candidate, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) walks away after announcing the suspension of his campaign during his election night watch party at the Crowne Plaza Downtown Union Station on May 3, 2016 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Ted Cruz suspends presidential campaign
Trump won a resounding victory on Tuesday night in Indiana, taking all 57 of the state's GOP delegates, according to NBC.
In response, Cruz suspended his run, concluding that he had there was no longer a "viable path" to his becoming the Republican standard-bearer in the general election.
"From the beginning I've said that I would continue on as long as there was a viable path to victory. Tonight, I'm sorry to say, it appears that path has been foreclosed," Cruz said during a Tuesday night speech. "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."
For its part, the Kasich campaign said in a Tuesday evening statement that the Indiana results "are not going to alter" the candidate's plan.
"Our strategy has been and continues to be one that involves winning the nomination at an open convention," the Kasich campaign said.
Cruz and Kasich had spearheaded the (now almost assuredly unsuccessful) attempts of some members of the GOP to stop Trump's roll to the nomination. But that "Never Trump" movement appeared to stall on Tuesday night after Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said the real estate magnate would be the "presumptive" nominee.
The plan, according to those behind the Cruz and Kasich campaigns, was to prevent Trump from winning 1,237 delegates before the GOP convention this summer, thereby preventing him from securing a first ballot victory. After that, the Cruz and Kasich campaigns said there would have been a chance for their candidates to win over the delegates and earn the nomination.
Although that path seemed nearly impossible after Trump's Indiana victory, the Kasich campaign still seemed ready for a fight after Cruz suspended his run.
During his run, Kasich was only able to amass 154 delegates, according to NBC News. That puts him under Marco Rubio's 172 delegates — and the senator from Florida had dropped out in March.

Why joe s? He far more prepared and qualified than any of the others who have dropped out, seems to me. 35 years US Army Air National Guard, Colonel JAG Unit, numerous years in state legislature as state representative and then state senator, then appointed to US Senate to fill Ted Kennedy's position. He's on our side of all the issues like trade and immigration.

I would find it interesting if the truth were to be told as to who really financed the Kasich campaign. The lie that he stayed in to stop Trump and possibly win at a contested convention is silly. For weeks he has had no viable path to the presidency. Why wait til Ted Cruz suspended his campaign to end his own? If he wanted to take away delegates from Trump, albeit futile, he should have continued. If he was simply an attention seeker he should have continued. No. He was the 'spoiler' candidate who was 'supposed' to rob both Trump and Cruz from a 1237 delegate victory. I suspect the $$ breadcrumbs lead back to Soros somehow. And yes, I believe the Republican establishment and George Soros are partnered.
