Donald Trump has become the presumptive GOP presidential candidate after both his rivals dropped out of the race, but a number of Republicans are working on a hail Mary.
Ted Cruz denied any alliance with fellow GOP presidential candidate John Kasich, just days after announcing that they were forming an anti-Trump coalition.
Former U.S. House Speaker John Boehner is not a fan of presidential hopeful Ted Cruz, and used some strong words to describe him during an evening talk at Stanford University on April 27.

Terrorism shifted as a top priority, from 1 percent of respondents in 2014 to 75 percent early this year.
