INDIANAPOLIS — Katie Packer, head of the Anti-Trump Super PAC Our Principles, says her organization has no plans to stop fighting the idea of a Donald Trump presidency despite [crscore]Ted Cruz[/crscore]’s primary loss in Indiana Tuesday night.
Packer released a statement saying that as long as Trump is short of the “1,237 delegates needed to win the GOP nomination,” the PAC will continue “to educate voters about Trump until he, or another candidate wins the support of a majority of delegates to the Convention.” The rest of the statement goes on to say:
“A substantial number of delegates remain up for grabs in this highly unpredictable year. In addition, there is more than a month before the California primary — more time for Trump to continue to disqualify himself in the eyes of voters, as he did yet again today spreading absurd tabloid lies about Ted Cruz’s father and the JFK assassination.
“We continue to give voice to the belief of so many Republicans that Trump is not a conservative, does not represent the values of the Republican Party, cannot beat Hillary Clinton, and is simply unfit to be President of the United States.”
Ohio Gov. John Kasich released a statement as well declaring he had no plans to drop out of the race, even though Trump’s chances of getting the nomination skyrocketed after winning Indiana.
“Gov. Kasich remains the candidate best positioned to win a contested convention,” the Kasich campaign said in part in a statement. “The future of the Republican Party and America is at stake. Gov. Kasich will not simply give up.”
It does not appear Cruz has plans to give up either despite Trump’s call for him to do so. The Cruz campaign is scheduled to travel to Nebraska and Washington state Wednesday for two different rallies on the campaign trail.
