Kasich campaign accuses Cruz team of bad faith
Politico ^ | 03/25/16 | Eliza Collins

A top strategist for Ohio Gov. John Kasich accused Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s campaign on Friday of being “disingenuous” about discussions between the two GOP rivals over how best to deny Donald Trump the required 1,237 delegates need to win the Republican presidential nomination.

Cruz has questioned Kasich's motivations for staying in the race, accusing him of playing the role of "spoiler" because it is mathematically impossible for the Ohio governor to win the nomination outright. "A vote for John Kasich is a vote for Donald Trump," Cruz told reporters on Saturday.

It seems like Kasich will stay in the race until the convention.

Interesting. You’d think hat Cruz’s people would do everything they could to get along with Kasich. His delegates and endorsement could be important

Everything about this primary is either ridiculous or disturbing or both.

I’m only so far “above the fray” and I almost wish that I had a reason to do some real damage of my own.

..........Cruz told reporters on Saturday.

Cruz should be more concerned with coming home tonight -finding his bags packed- and thrown out in the street.

Interesting.

Ah, Kasich thinks the eGOP will now give the convention to him.

Cruz's tabloidial past has painted a target on himself as a pol the LSM is just itching to add to their collection of pubbie, RINO or not, heads.

You think Kasich’s delegates would ever support Sleazy Donald? If Trump does not have 1237 delegates of more, he will lose.

Here is a reason Trump is unelectable that is not related to his sleaziness. Trump has all but said he will not self finance the general. If so this would cost $1B. How is Trump going to raise this amount with no donors to date. To get that much you have to have fundraisers where you woo these people. No chance he can do it.

A while ago, someone posted an interview w/Heidi where she stated that Ted was home so seldom that he was like a stranger.
The behavior of their daughter would seem to indicate there is a bit of a disconnect there.

“Everything about this primary is either ridiculous or disturbing or both.”

This has been building up ever since the political elite
lost the nomination to Reagan. They have been doubling down
to the point of allowing the liberals to win rather than
allow who the people want.
They don’t want Cruz, they don’t want Trump.
They want cockeyed junior, Rubio or anyone they can control.
The march to socialism must not stop.
“We will become socialists whether we like it or not” GOPe.

...Sleazy Donald?...

Your guy is up to his crotch in sleazy "career girls". What's sleazy about Donald? His ability to build and function in the actual world? Rafael's world has been the bureaucracy, the back room and the hotel room. He's not sleazy. He's a freaking booger eating reptile.

Cruz now has a dark cloud over his campaign. This in and of itself will most likely cost Cruz a loss of 15%- 20% in votes cast in the upcoming state elections.
