Cruz, Kasich In Panic, Join Forces As Campaign Money Dries Up (Vanity)

Posted on 04/25/2016 4:59:42 AM PDT by JLAGRAYFOX

Ted Cruz & John Kasich have teamed up in open, underhanded fashion to do in Donald J. Trump from winning the 1237 delegates, that Trump requires to gain the GOP POTUS nomination. Basically they have divided their campaign staff's, with each concentrating on specific states, in which only one of them will campaign in each state assigned to them. This is a panic, "Hail Mary Pass" to stop Trump cold in his pursuit of the 1237 delegates, that would give DJT the POTUS Nomination. In essence, it provides for "one on one" scenerios running against Trump. Why, you ask? Both the Cruz * Kasich campaigns are in freefall, both campaigns are running out of donor campaign money to sustain their already failing efforts to defeat Trump.

Can you imagine if such a scheme were to be successful? Folks it would destroy the Republican Party outright. Why? Because failed candidates, Cruz & Kasich, using "smoke filled back rooms political tactics" to prevent Donald Trump from being chosen the winner of the Primaries needed for the POTUS nomination on a level, fair playing field..

Reince Priebus, the RNC Chairman should put a stop to this practice immediately. I expect & trust he will not do anything, for he is in bed with these shysters. The words honest and fairness are not in the Priebus vocabulary.

As for you folks that are voting in these campaigns, I suggest that none of you should cast one vote for either Ted Cruz or John Kasich in the upcoming primaries, starting tomorrow with, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Maryland, Delaware & Connecticut. The will of the American voter must be protected and not poisoned or voided by corrupt politicians, who are only interested in their own evil purposes. A vote cast for either Cruz or Kasich is a totally wasted and underhanded. Support & vote in massive numbers for DONALD J. TRUMP in 'ALL" remaining GOP POTUS Primaries.

I’ll be voting for Trump in Maryland tomorrow, but I hope Trump is learning from the antics. States in the general election are winner take all. In some cases, it may be better, depending on how close the election is, for Trump to write off a state and focus on your better states, as Cruz and Kasich are doing. The penalty for a republican loss in November if far worse than the penalty for a Trump loss at the convention, although one could easily lead to the other.

Trump needs to understand that this is not a nice game, and it’s played by rules that decent people would not have chosen. When he’s done motivating his voters by complaining (justifiably) about the sleaze of politics, I hope he will learn how to deal with it.

The amazing thing to me is they ANNOUNCED it instead of just quietly doing it.

Social media is blowing up over this. By this time tomorrow you’ll have to be living under a rock not to associate Cruz and Kasich with the word “collusion.” Colossally stupid.

Great for our side, though!

the iconic “I, Claudius” series

I liked the scene where Caligula, recovered from illness, thanked a senator for declaring he would ‘give up his own life’ to save the Emperor; in the next breath he asked the senator what he ‘planned to do about it’...

senator: ‘I beg your pardon?’
Caligula: ‘well, here I am and here you are...one of us should not be, no...?’

Unfortunately, Reince is part of the problem.

I would love to hear the Cruzers spin on this. How can you continue to stand by a candidate that has cared about only himself? Surely, they must see the problem.

Donald J. Trump ​Response to Cruz and Kasich Campaigns

It is sad that two grown politicians have to collude against one person who has only been a politician for ten months in order to try and stop that person from getting the Republican nomination.

Senator Cruz has done very poorly and after his New York performance, which was a total disaster, he is in free fall and as everyone has seen, he does not react well under pressure. Also, approximately 80% of the Republican Party is against him. Governor Kasich, who has only won 1 state out of 41, in other words, he is 1 for 41 and he is not even doing as well as other candidates who could have stubbornly stayed in the race like him but chose not to do so. Marco Rubio, as an example, has more delegates than Kasich and yet suspended his campaign one month ago. Others, likewise, have done much better than Kasich, who would get slaughtered by Hillary Clinton once the negative ads against him begin. 85% of Republican voters are against Kasich.

Collusion is often illegal in many other industries and yet these two Washington insiders have had to revert to collusion in order to stay alive. They are mathematically dead and this act only shows, as puppets of donors and special interests, how truly weak they and their campaigns are. I have brought millions of voters into the Republican primary system and have received many millions of votes more than Cruz or Kasich. Additionally, I am far ahead of both candidates with delegates and would be receiving in excess of 60% of the vote except for the fact that there were so many candidates running against me.

Because of me, everyone now sees that the Republican primary system is totally rigged. When two candidates who have no path to victory get together to stop a candidate who is expanding the party by millions of voters, (all of whom will drop out if I am not in the race) it is yet another example of everything that is wrong in Washington and our political system. This horrible act of desperation, from two campaigns who have totally failed, makes me even more determined, for the good of the Republican Party and our country, to prevail!

These folks like Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Reince Priebus, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, etc. think “We, The People” are simply buffoons. They could care less about us. And....the sooner, the American people/voters understand, they are being used for ill gotten, purposes, by these evil, crooked, politicians, not their own....which, by the way, they are getting it, across the board, by the millions.

Support & Vote for......DONALD J. TRUMP in “ALL” future GOP POTUS Primaries & “Make America Great”!!!

The Cruz folks here have been real quiet. Probably waiting for Rush today to give them the spin.

Mark Levin & Rush Limbaugh cannot do anything to save Ted Cruz. These two guys (Levin & Limbaugh have done themselves in, by, not engaging their brains, before opening their mouths. Look for them to be hiding under the bed today with only tepid utterings coming from the foolish mouths.

Cruzers are complaining because Trump’s support is building. If Trump hadn’t entered the race, Cruz might well be on top.

Okay, I'll bite.

It looks like all of this Cruz-Kasich stuff is based rumor, but it really doesn't matter if Trump gets the 1200+ votes he needs.

Trump is acting like a sore winner.

The Cruz folks are speechless. You will hear little from them today. They are licking their wounds from the Cruz defeat in New York last week. Ya know folks, the Ted Cruz uncalled for, offensive, nasty remarks relative “New York Values” has killed his POTUS campaign. The fool Cruz never realized, that his remarks would offend millions of voters in the Northeast and even in California, where “New York Values” are alive & well.....just think of all the Italians, Hispanics, Blacks, Irish, Polish. Greeks, Germans, Jews, etc. and their deep ethnic values & customs, the include “New York Values”!!! Tomorrow Tuesday, will not be a good day for Ted Cruz....across the board. Any vote cast for Ted Cruz is a wasted vote!!!

If Trump hadn't entered the race, Cruz would be nowhere. He might have won the south, but Bush would already have been the presumptive nominee. That was the GOPe plan from the beginning.

Cruz and his supporters should be thanking Donal Trump for making Cruz relevant at all.

I’d love to know what Rush’s and Levin’s ratings are.

Hannity has tweeted that his are up 40% since January.

These two political assassins are exposed, as two globalists on a stick.

Why are they so desperate and who is propping them up?

I can’t even tell which hill it is that Cruz wants to die on.

It isn’t the Iran deal. He voted for the Corker Bill.

It isn’t the illegal invasion assuring the “fundamental transformation of America” by browning the population. He recommends rewarding them all with pathways to legalization.

It isn’t the North American Union. He dispatched the wife to the Council on Foreign Relations as a Goldman Sachs VP to help construct a favorable “NA Community” paper.

It isn’t the TPP. He voted for TPA.

What else?

So, what the heck is Cruz’ big gripe against Donald TRUMP.

Every vital issue, and TRUMP has already swarmed it.
