After the complete Trump New York victory, both Ted Cruz and John Kasich were mathematically eliminated from any possibility of winning through voters. The #NeverTrump campaign shifted and rebranded itself #NeverVoters.
Last night, facing the looming probability of complete defeat on April 26th in the North East primary states of: Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland and Delaware, the Ted Cruz and John Kasich campaigns announced publicly their intents to draw their last-hope firewalls in Indiana, New Mexico and Oregon.
The most current polling of Pennsylvania looks like this:
(full pdf of results here)… and the Trump campaign has also ramped up the voter information for the unbound PA delegates (SEE HERE) turning the tide of in favor of Team Donald Trump in the Keystone State.
As a direct consequence of the growing support for candidate Trump, and with looming electoral defeat on the horizon, the Ted Cruz campaign now places all its “never voter” efforts on stopping Donald Trump from winning Indiana. However, Donald Trump is also polling ahead of Cruz in Indiana – so the Cruz campaign approach throws a Hail-Mary.
In an effort to improve fleeting chances, Team Cruz has struck a deal with the Kasich campaign. Team Kasich is to pull out of Indiana, and Team Cruz will give them free reign in New Mexico and Oregon.
From the desperate campaign of Ted Cruz:
[…] “our campaign will focus its time and resources in Indiana and in turn clear the path for Gov. Kasich to compete in Oregon and New Mexico, and we would hope that allies of both campaigns would follow our lead. In other states holding their elections for the remainder of the primary season, our campaign will continue to compete vigorously to win. (link)
The campaign of John Kasich agrees to the strategy and announces they are withdrawing from the Indiana contest and will focus their efforts on New Mexico and Oregon as requested:
Included in the Kasich announcement is a request to the Super-PAC’s spending on behalf of both ‘never voter’ candidates:
“We would expect independent third-party groups to do the same and honor the commitments made by the Cruz and Kasich campaigns”.
So the Cruz and Kasich campaigns are committed to each other, and both jointly committed to the ‘Never Voter’ mission. Interestingly, for Team Cruz to give up Oregon they must have internal feedback from private polling showing their chances were diminishing rapidly.

I think Cruz and Kasich will both go down to deafening defeats.

Yes, I concur.
I think this gruesome twosome will both go down to deafening defeats.
Very few approve of collusion.

Nether Cruz nor Kasick is a conservative and Ted Cruz is pissing all over the constitution since he knows damn well he is not a natural born citizen of the United States.

If this happened in the private sector versus the political sector, it would be collusion. But, all's fair in love and war! And, this is war! (On the American people)
Go Trump!
To: MaxistheBest
You make some good points about the electoral math...it’s a hard slog for any Republican candidate...
But, I think that much can happen between now and November. Cruz has shown that he is willing to fight, unlike Romney and McCain...
Also, Cruz will carve Hildy to pieces in the debates...he will draw the stark contrast needed to sway public opinion...IMHO
To: HoosierWordsmith
I understand your loyalty to your candidate and I’m not a professional pundit, but I know the state of Florida as well as any layperson and I’m here to tell you Ted Cruz WILL lose the state of Florida and will lose badly.
He can chew Clinton up all he can, but the Social Security issue alone will doom him here; and the population here is center-left. You don’t understand the mindset of the FL voter.
BTW..Kasich just made a fool of himself on CNN. He got mobbed by reporters and got suckered into saying people should still vote for him in Indiana

“Corrupt to the core. This is all about the party insiders. Nothing else.”
Yep! Disgusting how many people are still falling for THE SNAKE Rafael Cruz!

I cannot wait for the look on Kasich’s face, when Cruz swoops in and steals whatever delegates Kasich manages to earn
To: onyx
How long before R Cruz announces a deal with Hillary to keep D. Trump from the oval office?
To: onyx
Pathetic, indeed. By the time July rolls around, Ohio and Texas won’t even want these two.
To: AuntB
The hard core Cruz holdouts still left are nothing more than party groupies. And no doubt they’re in one way or another connected to the big gov payroll and or are invested in schemes enabled by D.C. corrupt policies.

Party over patriotism, party over principle, collusion over conservatism.
