Kasich Super PAC Releases Ad Championing The Will Of The…Delegates

A pro-John Kasich Super PAC advertisement released Tuesday showing Kasich being crowned the Republican nominee says the election isn’t about the “establishment,” but instead delegates.

The ad, released by New Day for America, is from the perspective of the future. “And the GOP nomination for president goes to…John Kasich,” a voiceover says. “What a long fascinating trip it’s been.”

The advertisement continues to say, “running for president isn’t about the establishment, it’s about the delegates and the delegates decided this election was about winning the presidency.”

Cruz Coordinates with Kasich to Block Trump

Top staff from both the Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Ohio Gov. John Kasich presidential campaigns issued separate statements Sunday evening, saying they would be working in concert to prevent GOP frontrunner Donald Trump from securing enough delegates to win a first-round vote at the Republican National convention.

The Cruz campaign released a statement late Sunday saying their campaign would focus their efforts on Indiana, allowing the Kasich campaign to focus on Oregon and New Mexico.

The Kasich campaign likewise released their own statement that asserted they would focus on Oregon and New Mexico, and let Cruz focus on Indiana. The remainder of the states would be fair game for both campaigns, said the Kasich statement.

Cruz Campaign Manager Jeff Roe said on Sunday:

To ensure that we nominate a Republican who can unify the Republican Party and win in November, our campaign will focus its time and resources in Indiana and in turn clear the path for Gov. Kasich to compete in Oregon and New Mexico, and we would hope that allies of both campaigns would follow our lead.  In other states holding their elections for the remainder of the primary season, our campaign will continue to compete vigorously to win.
