(CNN) — Ted Cruz and John Kasich are joining forces in a last-ditch effort to deny Donald Trump the Republican presidential nomination.

Within minutes of each other, the pair issued statements late Sunday saying they will divide their efforts in upcoming contests with Cruz focusing on Indiana and Kasich devoting his efforts to Oregon and New Mexico. The strategy -- something the two campaigns have been working on for weeks -- is aimed at blocking Trump from gaining the 1,237 delegates necessary to claim to GOP nomination this summer.

This surely guarantees that neither Cruz nor Kasich will ever have any political position again.

The true goal is to defeat Hillary in November and prevent a 3rd Obama term...which would be an abject disaster for all of America.

Defeating Hillary is not going to happen. This Primary Season has totally destroyed the Republican Party. We will have Hillary for 8 years while a new party is formed and established. I suggest the new party be called: THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF AMERICA.

Hey I am glad you posted this. Just watched my Varney and Co. recording from earlier.

Kasich: “Trump really can’t beat Hillary Clinton. He needs to understand that. The latest poll out of New Hampshire he loses 50 to 31.

What’s the big deal? We are going to go to a convention and the delegates get to pick the person who will do the best in the fall...”

I wish I could scream at him: Yeah they have done such a good job in the past. Look at Romney, McLame, Bob Dole and heck I’d even add Bush who gave use 0bamma and his baby mama.

Your correct, this shows more than ever before, that these two contestants, are not interested in a Republican, first and foremost becoming President, and for the democrat to lose. They are not interested in the successful advancements of a congress and senate with Republican advantage doing something positive for America, picking a conservative 9th Supreme Court Judge, abolishing the commandments made by Obama, dismantling Obamacare, and building our military.

These men are INSTEAD hell bent on destroying the ONLY chance a republican has in this election to beat Hildabeast.

Meanwhile, Trump has said, that if he loses, you will not hear from him again. And I believe him. Why would he? He does not need the money, he has the expertise that nobody else has to uniquely change our country from being run by politicians to be pragmatically changed to a business like administration. If you don’t want him, don’t look for him to offer again.

Wake up America, the opponents of Trump are showing their true colors. They need to be admonished by the people in any way possible.

You have to keep your eye on the prize.

Your assessment is correct.

They are taking their RNC marching orders well, I wonder what was promised to them from Priebus?

If they are taking orders from Priebus to take out Trump then I'm sure they were promised something from the RNC.

Cruz's first mistake was attacking Trump, when he should have stuck to the issues. His campaign has gone downhill from there.

Maybe he still would have lost if he had stayed on the issues, but he has destroyed his own brand name with this deplorable campaign. This latest move may prove to be the last straw.

I meant that they would never get votes from the public again. I hope to not hear their names ever again.
