Republican presidential candidates Ted Cruz and John Kasich are working together to stop Donald Trump. The question now: How do the outside groups supporting them help execute the strategy?
The alliance between Cruz and Kasich was as much about the various allied super PACs and outside groups as it was about the campaigns themselves. And on Monday, many of those groups were starting to strategize about how to move forward.
The Kasich super PAC New Day for America has a conference call planned for Monday afternoon to discuss the best way to make sure that Kasich wins Oregon. They’re left interpreting the public statements from both campaigns as to whether or not they should continue to air negative ads that target Ted Cruz — negative ads that the group’s senior advisers believe are the most effective.
The pro-Cruz super PAC that’s been planning a $1.6 million buy against Kasich in Indiana is rethinking whether to keep those negative ads on the air.

Another question: Will these outside groups start to work together more aggressively? Like the conversations between campaign staffers, there have been some overtures made among outside groups backing different candidates. So far, not much has come of it, but that could change.
