Ted Cruz-John Kasich Alliance Against Donald Trump Quickly Weakens - The New York Times

"Mr. Cruz trumpeted what he called the “big news” … “John Kasich has decided to pull out of Indiana to give us a head-to-head contest with Donald Trump”.

But at his own campaign stop in Philadelphia on Monday, Mr. Kasich tamped down Mr. Cruz’s triumphalism. Voters in Indiana, Mr. Kasich said, “ought to vote for me,” even if he would not be campaigning publicly there..”"

Maybe The Donald ought to start calling Cruze “Backstabbin’ Ted.” This is beginning to look suspiciously like what Cruz did to Carson in Iowa. (Cruz’s campaign started a rumor Carson had dropped out.)

And, once again, this:

"The point of announcing the deal, said Charles R. Black Jr., an adviser to Mr. Kasich, was to indicate to outside 'super PACs' where the campaigns and candidates were marshaling their resources."

It’s beginning to look like “rigged” really is the right word.
