– ‘Very dumb!’ –
Trump’s triumph comes in the heated aftermath of the revelation that Cruz and Kasich, desperate to prevent the frontrunner from securing the nomination, were teaming up to block him in future races.
Kasich agreed to forego campaigning in Indiana, a winner-take-all state that votes on May 3 and is the next focus in the GOP race. Cruz will return the favour later in New Mexico and Oregon.
But Trump slammed the alliance as “pathetic” and ineffective.
“This joke of a deal is falling apart, not being honoured and almost dead,” Trump said on Twitter. “Very dumb!”
Clinton’s strong Tuesday showing heaps pressure on the well-funded Sanders, a self-declared democratic socialist senator from Vermont, even as he has vowed to fight on until the California primary on June 7.
“Almost every national poll and every state poll has us defeating Trump and that margin for us is significantly larger than Madam Secretary Clinton,” Sanders told supporters in West Virginia, which votes on May 10.
