I love how candidates who quit their campaigns for the presidency like to say they are "suspending" the campaign. Suspending. Really? True to the political norm, they like to sugarcoat the reality. I got a secret for you: they are quitting. Imagine if "suspend" gained a wider usage like that employed by these candidates.
"We have decided to suspend our marriage."
"As of Friday, we are suspending your position at this company."
"Kids, we are suspending the use of your electronic devices."
"This is your captain. Due to engine malfunction, we are suspending in-flight operations."
