Mike Malloy - Why the Cruz-Kasich Alliance Will Fail



Mathematically, it’s over for Ted Cruz and John Kasich. Neither candidate can win enough states get the 1,237 delegates required to claim the Republican nomination.

Having already crossed that Rubicon, Ted Cruz and John Kasich have now pledged to try and row back across the river together. On Monday, the Kasich campaign said it would cease campaigning in Indiana, clearing the way for Cruz to compete there. Cruz, in turn, will cede New Mexico and Oregon. They aim to hobble Donald Trump by winning enough delegates to force a contested convention, playing spoiler against the front-runner with hopes of competing on more even ground in Cleveland.
