Donald Trump is known for “branding” his rivals in an attempt to point out their perceived weakest qualities.
Jeb Bush was “low energy.”
Marco Rubio? “Little Marco.”
Ted Cruz, of course, is known as “Lyin’ Ted” on Trump’s Twitter feed.
But for whatever reason, Trump has avoided branding John Kasich. That changed this morning after news broke that Cruz and Kasich were teaming up to stop Trump in Indiana, Oregon, and New Mexico.
He now calls him “1 for 38 Kasich.”
Lyin' Ted Cruz and 1 for 38 Kasich are unable to beat me on their own so they have to team up (collusion) in a two on one. Shows weakness!

Shows how weak and desperate Lyin' Ted is when he has to team up with a guy who openly can't stand him and is only 1 win and 38 losses.

“1 for 38 Kasich” is, of course, referring to Kasich’s miserable win-loss record in GOP primaries this year. Kasich’s lone win came in his home state of Ohio.
