(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.

Neither has a chance, they are doing Hillary's work for her.
Probably a sign that donors and dollars are getting scarce for both candidates.

Tech billionaires (major Dem donors, Hillary supporters) plot with GOP leaders at exclusive island resort to stop Trump
Cruz and Kasich can’t trust each other either; do they know that?
Hillary, Ksick, and Jim Jones Cruz are all on the Uniparty payroll.
People like Mrs. Bill. It never stops. People like Mrs. Bill.
As Trump says, DESPERATION!-)
Go Trump Go!
Cart the aristos off in tumbrels.
The Cruz/Kasich alliance is a desperate move...aimed at one thing only...and all out effort to somehow stop Trump from getting the number he needs to win the nomination.
...sadly, it is coming precisely at the time when we need Cruz to do what is right for the country...and that is burying the war hatchet and ultimately supporting Trump.
Look, I proudly campaigned for, donated to, and voted for Cruz in Idaho.
But the facts on the ground now are what they are, and there is no denying them.
Trump is headed to the nomination and will arrive at the convention with either more delegates than he needs to win, or he will be very, very close. At this stage, I believe he is going to have more than the 1,237.
At this stage there is only one strategy that the GOP can take to win...and I believe if they do it, then we would win in November.
I am hoping that after the Indiana primary on the 3rd, that Cruz does this. I am hoping therefore that he loses that Primary in such a way to make this clear and that he then will do what is best for our nation. I may be disappointed, but that is my hope nonetheless.
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.
So, Cruz simply MUST ultimately support Donald Trump and he must do it for the good of the country. He, and Kasich, and Rubio and all of the others....including all of us, are going to have to get together and beat Hillary.
I believe if Cruz sincerely buried the war hatchet and characterized the stakes in these terms...and if the GOP united behind that idea, that we would win in November.
Those may not be the facts I had hoped for...but they are the facts on the ground.
As to Trump...I penned this some time ago, and believe it holds true now too:
The Trump Phenomenon

Cruz supporters (like me) simply must set emotion, pride and hurt feelings aside for the good of the nation at this point. It is that simple.
I also recently wrote a letter to Ted Cruz encouraging him to take this path:

Not so fast! They are continually accusing Trump of being just the kind of candidate that a Democrat would want to vote for! How can that be bad for Trump?
Cruz is now officially a Canadian-midget equivalent of a Muslim; taqqiya and terrorism emanate from every pore of his maggot-infested skin. He, along with Kasich and the rest of the GOP-e, are the equivalent of the Rosenbergs, and should be punished as they were.
Cruz is losing his mind. Proof that he is NOT the pure conservative. He attempting to help the GOPe save the DC cartel he claimed to be against. Heck, Kasich is a “closet democrat!”
This move is evidence that he does not have any principles!
It says here, Cruz will clear the path for a Kasich victory in Oregob and N.M... so never mind working with libtards and dems a long time ago, Cruz is working with one right now before our eyes.
Can’t wait to listen to Rush today to hear him rationalize this latest Cruz move. Anyone trying to defend Cruz has to do more spins than a figure skater does!
It should be crystal clear by now that the goal of the GOP (which includes these two jerks) is to insure Hillary's win. It's her time you know... and the deals were made long ago. Trump is threatening their plan.
Rush will probably screech, “It’s legal! It’s legal, I tell you! Let me explain again how it’s legal!” just like he did about Colorado.
Sure it’s legal. That doesn’t make it right, and when voters see something they feel is wrong, they respond at the ballot box. As they are now doing.
Desperate move by 2 losers. Even if they pull this off well, they will remain losers.
