Today Ted Cruz and John Kasich announced a cooperative plan to stop Donald Trump. Neither is quite able to be forthright about this. They talk of more effectively using their individual resources and try to claim its about each of their individual campaigns.
It requires going far beyond the willing suspension of disbelief to accept the notion that Ted Cruz gives a damn about who the Republican candidate is if it isn't Ted Cruz. One of the wonderful ironies about this campaign is that had Donald Trump not been so successful, Ted Cruz would've long ago been cast on the rubbish heap of unsuccessful republican candidates. He is living proof that one of the successful methods to employ if you are a candidate is to be conniving and unprincipled.
John Kasich has just been sucker punched. His only chance was in a brokered convention that would reject both Trump and Cruz. He needs to be promoting himself and attacking both Trump and Cruz now. With this latest maneuver, his goose is cooked.
