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.

There is no alleges. The communique flat out says: We would expect independent third-party groups to do the same and honor the commitments made by the Cruz and Kasich campaigns.
And if not illegal, the two candidates conspiring to thwart a third, is reprehensible. Face it, Trump is more than just a footnote because We the People have had enough of politicians and their sewage tactics.
And these two “geniuses” don’t even realize that they are being played by the Establishment. On any second ballot, they will be dumped faster than last night’s beans.

One big problem Cruz boy.
They did not say “We did it #Cruz” they said “We did it #neverTrump”
If you think Cruz’s #neverTrump delegates are going to vote for him at the convention you smoked too much weed in Colorado....

Cruz will not be at the GOP convention much less running again’st Hillary. He’s going to be out very soon. His campaign is on life support.
Cruz is not expected to do well in Oregon and NM so he has to make up some pathetic plan with Kasich to cover why he’s pulling out of those states. Now when he does poorly there he can say its part of the plan. Pathetic. My guess is that he’s running low on cash and the donors are drying up fast.

You need to think about Jim Robinson’s post about bashing Trump. Trump isn’t whining, nor is he lying, stealing and cheating - buy a blue.

I just heard on ABC radio news that FIORINO has confirmed that CRUZ has picked her to be on the short list for his VP.
Okay, people, if THIS doesn’t sink in your thick Cruz worshiping sculls, nothing will! He’s been buying her off for months. She is OWNED by the open border lobby and the guy who sells COMMON CORE! Cruz is a con man. Wake up before you destroy this election!

CARLY ALERT!!! Birds of Feather? Cheap Labor & Common Core
http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/2015/09/carly-alert-birds-of-feather-cheap.html
[snip] Earlier today I read about a Craig Barrett who held a private fundraiser for Fiorina on Sept. 10th in Arizona. He is the chief Common Core pusher in AZ and Board member/ Chairman of Achieve Inc., the Common Core standards architects.
But I just found that this guy Barrett also heads Intel and the push for more foreign workers. The fundraiser featured Former US Sen. Jon Kyl...who in 2007 with Ted Kennedy and McCain was one of the senators to write Bush’s amnesty. Carly is in bed with the enemy!
(There is a rumor on Facebook that Barrett is Carly’s ‘daddy’...sugar daddy, maybe, but NOT TRUE!
From her website: “Carly Fiorina was born on September 6, 1954, in Austin, Texas, the daughter of Madelon Montross Juergens and Joseph Tyree Sneed III” https://carlyforamerica.com/meet-carly/ )
Link to fundraiser: http://archives.mcrcbriefs.org/2015/08/8-30-15-briefs.html
The largest donation to the Fiorina super PAC — close to $1.6 million — came from Jerry Perenchio, the former CEO of Univision and national finance co-chairman for John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign with deep ties to California.” http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/31/politics/carly-fiorina-super-pac/
A couple years ago, TTC told you that CARLY also did her share of hispandering during her failed California Senate run. She is tied up with PRO Amnesty lobbyists, like Grover Norquist.
[snip] Fiorina is a MCCAIN GIRL!
