Morphine Prince 109,682 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (CNN) - 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 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 is aimed at blocking Trump from gaining the 1,237 delegates necessary to claim to GOP nomination this summer. The extraordinary moves reflect the national strength Trump has shown and the inability of Republicans who oppose the New York billionaire to come together to stop him. Dividing up some of the remaining primary states by putting forward one strong option to Trump in each could be enough to take away delegates and curb Trump's run to the nomination. Trump is the only candidate who can realistically get a first-ballot victory -- there's no mathematical path for Cruz or Kasich to clinch the nomination heading into the convention.

Seeka 12,372 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 And everyone keeps saying Trump won't win, Trump won't win... Trump is Sanjayah to Kelly Clarkson, only Sanjayah has an actual chance to win at this point. And Kelly Clarkson has been screwed over so much by media and the past that her redeeming feature is that Sanjayah is a complete idiot. And that isn't stopping people from voting for him.

They should have done this ever since Jeb & Rubio dropped out. It's too late. But slay for the effort I guess. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 733 available. They need to get combined more than half of the ones left I honestly do not see it happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendablethyn 536 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Mess. Every few weeks they come out with a new plan to stop Trump. They should run as a joint ticket because this looks messy as hell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SychosSoChic 9,995 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Oh just give it up, Trump is coming for us all whether we want him to or not. In a couple of months it's literally going to be all of us on GGD waiting together in a thread to hear whether the world is going to be rocked and shocked by Trump, or return to a sense of stability with change on the horizon with Hilary. There's no point in the other candidates wasting time anymore, it's over, and it's been over for a while now. Life ain't Hollywood for any one of us.

brendablethyn 536 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Seriously though, at worst Trump is going to just fall short of the number of delegates needed. A poll last week said 63% of voters said whoever has the most delegates during the primary season should get the nomination, so he will lead a revolt on the party if they deny him it, and it will destroy the GOP. Cruz and Kasich are delusional if they think they can slide into the nomination and everyone will accept it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion Heart 15,041 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 WAIT If they really want to stop Trump, they should run a Kasich/ Cruz Independent ticket in the General election. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
