Republican frontrunner Donald Trump mocked his rivals, saying that the partnership between Ted Cruz and John Kasich is a desperate act of “collusion” between two candidates that are “mathematically dead.”
“Collusion is often illegal in many other industries and yet these two Washington insiders have had to revert to collusion in order to stay alive,” Trump’s campaign said in a statement on their website.
Over the weekend, Ted Cruz and John Kasich sent out statements saying that they were combining forces in the next set of primaries. The Cruz campaign is going to focus on winning the Indiana primary, and Kasich will focus on Oregon and New Mexico.
Indiana votes in its primary on May 3, and 57 delegates are at stake in a winner-takes-all delegate allocation. Oregon has 28 delegates and New Mexico has 24 delegates allocated in proportionally.
