Welp: There is no alliance with John Kasich, says Cruz

I’m glad he said this because the only proper way for this campaign to end is with Kasich deciding, out of pure pique, to compete hard in Indiana and try to spoil Cruz’s last chance there even though Kasich needs a brokered convention as much as Cruz does. It’d be a perfect microcosm of the wider party’s impotence and strategic idiocy all year long in failing to stop Trump.

Burn it all down, John. Cleanse it with fire.

“I recognize that the media is all eager to talk about an alliance. There is no alliance,” Mr. Cruz said. “Kasich and I made a determination where to focus our energies, where to focus our assets, where to focus our resources.”…

“John Kasich made the decision, in his own political self-interest, to withdraw from Indiana and to go compete elsewhere,” Mr. Cruz said, while continuing to campaign in the state six days before its primary. “And that was a perfectly reasonable decision.”

Mr. Cruz did not answer questions about whether he was similarly pulling out of Oregon, which votes on May 17, or Oregon, which votes on June 7.

Ole Lyin’ Ted. Sounded just like a weasel lawyer with the wording.

Lying, liar, pants on fire, liar face Ted.

He is a compulsive liar. I’ll bet he’s been doing it for years. He just thinks because nobody calls him on it that he gets away with it.....he’s like a kid, and a bad one, at that.

I do not like Boehner any more than I like Cruz, but, Cruz here puts a face on what Boehner described.

as a wise FReeper pointed out on another thread, there is always a firetruck stationed just outside the venues where Lyin’ Ted has his little gatherings, just in case his pants catch on fire.

Ted lives up to his nickname.

Dictionary definition of alliance...

(Noun)
The definition of an alliance is a relationship forged between two or more individuals or groups that works as a positive for both parties involved...

So, what tortured definition does Ted call this?

[chuckee]

My money is on Kasich dropping out after he loses Indiana and spending the rest of the nomination run in the local IHOP wolfing down pancakes.

[PghBaldy]

It must really be backfiring. I actually feel half sorry for the guy. He is so desperate. The problem is he wants it too much.

[Mensius]

I know what you're saying. But...

Don't feel sorry for Cruz. He CHOSE to go AGAINST the will of the people. We need to vanquish that kind of man.

[dowcaet]

That name will stick with him the rest of his political career the way Tricky Dick stuck to Richard Nixon.
