Kasich and Cruz Form an Alliance of Losers

After all, add two zeros together and you get: oops, zero. There are a few words that come to mind upon hearing their official alliance to #StopTrump. One is pathetic. The two candidates and the entire Republican party.

I mean when these are the last bullets in the gun to stop Trump it speaks very poorly for the competence of the GOP.

Here goes Trump:

"Wow, just announced that Lyin' Ted and Kasich are going to collude in order to keep me from getting the Republican nomination. DESPERATION!"

"Lyin' Ted and Kasich are mathematically dead and totally desperate. Their donors & special interest groups are not happy with them. Sad!"

It really is kind of sad. Kasich has wanted this for awhile but Cruz only recently took him up on this.

Of course. It's only now that Cruz has also been all but mathematically eliminated.

"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."

"Will this work? It's tough to say. I tend to agree with Joy Reid: you can't beat something with nothing."

Trump's argument that the GOP primary is rigged has seemed to be very effective.

"Most GOP primary voters-even those who don't support Trump-think the candidate with a plurality of votes and delegates should win. "

"This is only going to give Trump a whole new meme. He can highlight how pathetic both Cruz and Kasich are, and that this shows the GOP trying to rig the game and stopping him from rightfully taking the nomination."

"Mere hours after the campaigns of Ted Cruz and John Kasich announced that they had reached a deal on a strategy to deny Donald Trump the Republican nomination, the GOP front-runner fired back in a scathing statement that drove home his running argument that the political system in the United States is "totally rigged" and would be unacceptable in other places in American business."

"It is sad that two grown politicians have to collude against one person who has only been a politician for ten months in order to try and stop that person from getting the Republican nomination," Trump said in a statement released through his campaign."

"In Kasich's case, Trump noted that the governor of Ohio has only won one state out of 41 contests, "and he is not even doing as well as other candidates who could have stubbornly stayed in the race like him but chose not to do so."

"Marco Rubio, as an example, has more delegates than Kasich and yet suspended his campaign one month ago," he said. "Others, likewise, have done much better than Kasich, who would get slaughtered by Hillary Clinton once the negative ads against him begin. 85% of Republican voters are against Kasich."

You have to admit Trump is right here. It's a fact that Marco Rubio even now has more votes and delegates than Kasich who has won just his home state of Ohio.

So this will play right into Trump's hands politically. I mean, if you think his system is rigged meme was working before, this is just gold now:

"Trump then turned to criticizing the two candidates' apparent coordination, calling it "often illegal in many other industries and yet these two Washington insiders have had to revert to collusion in order to stay alive."

"They are mathematically dead and this act only shows, as puppets of donors and special interests, how truly weak they and their campaigns are," Trump said. "I have brought millions of voters into the Republican primary system and have received many millions of votes more than Cruz or Kasich. Additionally, I am far ahead of both candidates with delegates and would be receiving in excess of 60% of the vote except for the fact that there were so many candidates running against me."

"Thanks to his campaign, Trump concluded, "everyone now sees that the Republican primary system is totally rigged."

You can't see me now, but I'm literally busting a gut laughing. I have to stop myself as it hurts my sides.

Regarding the Bill Clinton-Donald Trump conspiracy. The Clintons are either geniuses or really fortunate.
