After losing the Indiana primary, Ted Cruz suspended his presidential bid, saying that "the path has been foreclosed".

Donald Trump will likely succeed on the initial ballot at the Republican National Convention, avoiding a contested convention. Bernie Sanders won a 5-6 point victory in Indiana, prolonging the Democratic side of the race.

    If laughing at the death of an enemy makes you insane - and I remind you, Gaddafi was a pretty heavy sponsor of terrorism - then I myself probably need to be locked up and straitjacketed. I'm not going to write her off as crazy because of one weird interview, when there's substantially more evidence of her making reasonable (but not necessarily optimal) decisions.

    Are you also gloating about killing or helping the kill of your enemies too?
    (maybe, indeed, we shouldn't discount the idea of using that straight jacket?)

    Yes, I'm able to feel a sense of relief seeing a danger gone... but I'd rather prefer this not to be as the result of a kill, much less as something to be proud of.

    He stopped doing that one or two decades before he was killed by terrorists that were sent in by "the civilized world." Libya was always a 3rd world country among 3rd world countries. Unfortunately, it has oil...

      Oil that he started to consider selling it for gold [rt.com], showing a total disrespect for the petrodollar.
