Ted Cruz & John Kasich have joined forces so they can be defeated by Donald Trump together.— Jeet Heer (@HeerJeet) April 25, 2016
The plan by the campaigns of sociopath "Tailgunner Ted" Cruz and human bowl of oatmeal John "Who?" Kasich to step aside in states where the other has a better chance of defeating neo-fascist vulgarian Donald "Rump" Trump has drawn the ire of Rump. Interestingly, the Cruz/Kasich tactic may backfire, as it seems to support Rump's claims that the nomination is being rigged for the "establishment" candidates and may draw more angry Rethugs into the voting booths to vote for Rump. We'll see. Everything the anti-Rump forces have tried up until now has failed and backfired.
BONUS: Charlie Pierce sums up the late and lame effort to derail Rump at this stage in the game:
With conspirators like these, Caesar would have spent March 15 in a brothel, avoided the Senate for a month, and died of old age in his summer place in Gaul.
