The upside is that South Africa will have a better president than the US.

When running his campaign he was asked what his ground game was in one state and his reply "what's a ground game"? Then in response to foreign policy, "Oh I'll learn all about that after I become president"
And this was the best the GOP could churn out? I'm thinking back to poor Jeb Bush and he seems like the most sane out of the lot of them (and reasonable). So Cruz is out and Trump is going to go ahead and be the nominee and if there isn't a 3rd party about to form I'd be massively surprised. Where does the GOP go from here?

Mr. Trump’s comments also came on the day of the Indiana primary, where the Republican front-runner can effectively close out any chance for Mr. Cruz to deny him the presidential nomination.
In the interview, Mr. Trump was asked to respond to the elder Mr. Cruz’s invocations of God as he urged evangelical voters to support his son, suggesting the alternative could mean the “destruction of America.”
“I think it’s a disgrace that he’s allowed to do it. I think it’s a disgrace that he’s allowed to say it,” Mr. Trump said, before adding, “And, you know, his father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald’s being — you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous. What is this, right, prior to his being shot, and nobody brings it up. They don’t even talk about that. That was reported and nobody talks about it. But I think it’s horrible.”
He went on, “What was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death, before the shooting? It’s horrible.”
Wha? Of course not. That article just reports on the story, it says nothing new. The only source is still the National Enquirer. You know about that magazine right?

I what to make of all of that but I find it remarkable that we don't know who all the people in that picture with Oz are.

When Castro came to power in 1959, the elder Cruz quickly grew disillusioned. His younger sister fought in the counter-revolution and was tortured by the new regime. Rafael returned to Cuba in 1960 to see his family, and was shaken by what Castro’s Communist dictatorship had wrought. “When my father got back to Austin,” Cruz said, “he sat down and made a list of every place he’d gone to speak, and he made a point of going back to each of them and standing in front of them and saying, ‘I owe you an apology. I misled you. I took your money and I sent it to evil ends.’ And he said, ‘I didn’t do so knowingly, but I did so nonetheless, and for that I’m truly sorry.’ ”
We're asked to believe, then, that Oswald ran into a Rafael Cruz at an employment office in a city where Cruz may not have been living. That Cruz then agreed to join Oswald in passing out flyers, despite their advocating a position that Cruz himself vehemently opposed. That he may or may not have been photographed doing so -- and that a witness at the scene thought the other guy passing out flyers was a lot taller than Cruz.

By right-leaning I mean fiscally conservative, socially liberal folks (like me!). We're actually a plague on both their houses.
