Ted Cruz and John Kasich: 2016 frenemies ……… CNN

Ted Cruz and John Kasich are sudden allies — but they’re not friends.

The Texas senator and Ohio governor roiled the Republican presidential primary late Sunday with a coordinated effort to deny Donald Trump the nomination by dividing upcoming contests. Cruz will focus on Indiana, the campaign said, while Kasich would devote his efforts to Oregon and New Mexico.

But the competition between the two contenders was alive on the campaign trail Monday.
Cruz hailed Kasich’s decision to “pull out of Indiana to give us a head-to-head contest with Donald Trump.”
Kasich said the arrangement wasn’t meant to discourage voters in Indiana, which holds its increasingly critical primary May 3, from supporting him.
“I’ve never told them not to vote for me,” he said. “They ought to vote for me. But I’m not over there campaigning and spending resources.”
