Cruz to Focus Campaign's Time and Resources in Indiana, Allow Kasich to Focus on Oregon and New Mexico
HOUSTON, Texas - Cruz for President Campaign Manager Jeff Roe today released the following statement:
"Having Donald Trump at the top of the ticket in November would be a sure disaster for Republicans. Not only would Trump get blown out by Clinton or Sanders, but having him as our nominee would set the party back a generation. 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."
