here tonight because i believe in you. that you brought our people together. well, it only happened because the people gave me a chance and everywhere i went in america, everywhere i went in america,

kasich that they would fight trump all the way to the gop convention. trump was quoted today as saying i think john is doing the right thing. so what happens next and is trump's path to the nomination now as clear as it seems? let's head to bruce gordon live in the newsroom with more. bruce? >> reporter: iain, so much for that contested convention in cleveland this summer. so much for the deal between ted cruz and john kasich to work in concert to deny trump the nomination. it all disappeared with donald trump's blow out within in indiana yesterday much for the ohio governor, the hand writing was really on the wall by late last month. remember kasich can come early to pennsylvania to campaign in a state that should have been fertile ground for him. northeast, pennsylvania, neighbor of ohio where he earn his only primary victory. of course, pennsylvania the state where he was actually born. but when the votes were cast, kasich finished third in pennsylvania and it was hard to see him winning any of the remaining states. more pot point kasich's only hope to team with cruz to deny trump the nomination on first ballot and then in the chaos that might follow, emerge as a compromised nominee. well, when cruz bailed out last night kasich had no path of victory new york city amount of convention chaos was going to make him the party's choice. interestingly now that kasich is out of the race and we assume he will get to that actual announcement sometime in the next half hour or thereabouts, trump had words of praise for him today. even indicated he would consider the governor of ohio as a ru running mate. donald trump now gets to work trying to repair the rift in the republican party he's got till, oh, mid july or so in cleveland to do that. >> bruce, thank
