What the Cruz-Kasich Plan to Stop Trump Means for Their Political Brands
Posted in: Uncategorized
What are we to make of the news that Ted Cruz and John Kasich are teaming up to attempt to stop Donald Trump — and what does it mean for their campaigns and their political brands? As The New York Times reports,
Senator Ted Cruz and Gov. John R. Kasich of Ohio have agreed to coordinate in future primary contests in a last-ditch effort to deny Donald J. Trump the Republican presidential nomination, with each candidate standing aside in certain states amid growing concerns that Mr. Trump cannot otherwise be stopped.
The plan, according to a statement from Cruz’s campaign manager, Jeff Roe, is to focus on winning Indiana “and in turn clear the path for Governor Kasich to compete in Oregon and New Mexico.” According to a statement from Kasich’s chief strategist, John Weaver, the Kasich campaign will focus on states in the West and “give the Cruz campaign a clear path in Indiana.”
