Cruz knew he couldn't reach the 1237, it was completely out of reach for him after Indiana, if he won everything else. So why waste the time and money.
Someone hit Kasich over the head with a baseball bat and he came out of his mindless trance, and confronted the reality that he was only going to be about 1200 delegates shy of the necessary 1237, so he finally decided to go back to Ohio. Where he'll chant "I'm the only one that can beat Hillary." until his dying day!!
with Kasich dropping as fast as he did after Cruz signed off... it makes it look more like he stayed in just to screw over Cruz's chances of ending up top, which was my suspicion for a while now. Purely a spoiler to draw votes.
