Nice to meet you, you weak lying pitiful baby.

When you build a political party where the theme is “every man for himself!” it’s probably not surprising that anything that looks like (shiver) cooperation is immediately suspect. Even so, you might expect the Axis of Mediocity to last longer than this.

The temporary alliance between Senator Ted Cruz and Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, formed to deny Donald J. Trump the Republican presidential nomination, was already fraying almost to the point of irrelevance on Monday, only hours after it was announced to great fanfare.

Scant moments after Molotov-Ribbentrop Kasich and Cruz announced their pact on Monday (yes, I Godwin’d), Kasich was already giving it the old college no try.

Voters in Indiana, Mr. Kasich said, “ought to vote for me,” even if he would not be campaigning publicly there. He added, “I don’t see this as any big deal.”

All right, Kasich isn’t going to campaign in Indiana, but if they just can’t resist his magnetic charisma, then how can he say no? The Kruzich Alliance had only to make it 48 hours to reach the Tuesday evening primaries. How did that go?
