The two candidates announced late last night they will Work Together to try to prevent donald trump from winning three upcoming primaries. Hes accusing them of collusion and calls their effort a, quote, everything thats wrong in washington and our political system. It begins with the indiana primary a week from tomorrow as cbs news Battleground Tracker poll shows trump leading cruz there by five points. Major garrett is in washington to look at the possible impact of two political rivals targeting the frontrunner. Major, good morning. Reporter good morning. Ted cruz and john kasich are essentially treating the battle for the gop none nation like a Tag Team Wrestling match. This Unprecedented Alliance comes in advance of what is expect ed to be a fivestate primary sweep by trump on tuesday which means it may be too little too late. Im only interested in the first ballot. Im not interested in second, third, fourth, 19. Reporter donald trump predicted he would win the nomination outright. This late night statements sunday, strategists for both ted cruz and john kasich announced a bold new plan to stop him. Kasichs camp will, quote, give the Cruz Campaign a clear path in indiana while cruz will, quote, clear the path for governor kasich to compete in oregon and new mexico. The strategy adds fodder to trumps accusations that cruz is using under handed tactics to sway delegates ahead of a possible contested convention. Cruz is going and hes whini wining and dining and bribing people. Reporter cruz denied trumps charges. I told the delegates backstage, listen, i cant send a 747 to fly you to 18 holes of free golf at mara lago. That aint going to happen. Reporter still, trump said he feels like a boxer in a rigged match. The judges are going to be against you just like this system is rigged because mr. Trump, let me tell you, the judges cant help if i knock that guy on his ass if i knock him out. Reporter if he doesnt prevail at the Gop Convention if a guy that is losing by all those millions of votes wins, ill tell you what, were going to have some people very, very angry. Really. Theyre going to be very angry. Reporter kasich, despite lagging way behind in both poll numbers and delegates, told face the nation hes looking at potential running mates. Whats your reaction to that . You dont want to have yourself in a position you have to pick somebody out of a hat. So i have some skilled hands who are beginning now to take a look and figure out who would really fit. Reporter weve also learned that cruz may announce his running mate before indianas may 3rd primary. No decisions on this front have been made. The name that comes up most in cruz world, karly fiorina. Lets go back to the cruz kasich alliance. Do you think it could backfire . Reporter i havent seen anything like it. It could backfire. Theres no time for kasich or cruz to worry about the backfire aspect of this. They have to consolidate the antitrump vote and any super pac money that may come along and do it now. They have to gain the attention of those republicans still on the fence about trump, and this is the best way to do it both strategically and in the media. So this strategy is high risk in every respect. It is unprecedented in every respect. Its really the last option that cruz or kasich or antitrump forces of any kind have left. Major garrett, thank you for that. Meanwhile, polls show that Hillary Clinton is the favorite in all five democratic primaries tomorrow. The Clinton Campaign starts running a new tv ad today in pennsylvania, connecticut, and maryland. Its goal to bring democrats together before the july convention but Bernie Sanders is not ready to go along with that just yet. Nancy cordes is in philadelphia where both candidates will hold rallies tonight. Nancy, good morning to you. Reporter good morning. Thats right. He is not standing down at all. In fact, of the five states that vote tomorrow, sanders hit all five over the weekend and he was all over the airwaves, too. He is also still going after clinton, though with a new nod to reality. That is not secretary clintons view. Reporter with his white house prospects dwindling, sanders has begun pushing clinton more overtly to adopt his agenda. Madam secretary, if you are concerned about climate change, join me in imposing a tax on carbon. Reporter the latest cbs news Battleground Tracker finds nearly eight in ten pennsylvania democrats now expect clinton to be the nominee. But nearly half say sanders has had a positive influence on her candidacy because he made her adopt more progressive views. I support the fight for 15. Reporter this was clinton last night in connecticut. For goodness sakes, lets raise the minimum wage. Its not right people are mired in poverty. Reporter clinton drew tentative support sunday from one of the biggest conservative donors, trump critic and billionaire industrialist charles koch said he might back clinton over the gop nominee. Its possible, well, that her we would have to believe her actions would be quite different than her rhetoric. Reporter lyclintons campai responded that shes not interested in endorsements from people who deny Climate Science and try to make it harder for people to vote. The campaign also worked furiously to back down reports that they were beginning to consider possible running mates. Clinton herself had no comment. Im just working hard to win on tuesday. Reporter the clinton camp worries talk of a vp now will make it look as if she is taking it this race for granted even with 15 states left to vote, and thats why her Campaign Schedule has not let up at all. In fact, of the five states voting tomorrow, clinton hit four of them over the weekend. Shes very busy. Thank you very much, nancy. President obama confirmed this morning that he will send an additional 250 american troops to syria. They will work with Opposition Forces trying to defeat isis.

Per n personnel in syria including special forces to keep up this momentum.

Theyll provide intelligence, support and logistics to kurdish and arab forces who are fight to go recapture raqqah, the capital of the islamic state. The u. S.

European allies still reeling from recent terror attacks urged the u. S. To do more, specifically create a military protected safe zone inside syria to stem the flood of refugees. But the president said yesterday that would require a large number of ground troops, a commitment hes still unwilling to make. It is very difficult to see how it would operate short of us essentially being willing to militarily take over a big chunk of that country.
