Happy Monday. On this day in 1998, Hillary Clinton testified about Whitewater, but the grand jury transcript was never released — leaving Bernie Sanders to wonder what exactly she promised the jurors.

Cruz & Kasich Announce Plan To Keep Losing, But This Time on Purpose

TED CRUZ'S LATEST IDEA to grab the GOP nomination for president is for him and John Kasich to divide and conquer upcoming states to prevent Donald Trump from winning. They’ll rally around Kasich in Oregon and New Mexico — states where Cruz is hated — and get behind Cruz in Indiana — where he is also hated, but slightly less so.

THE STRATEGY HINGES on keeping Trump under 50% in those states to deprive him of delegates. It means they’ll have to tap into Cruz’s base of alcoholic preachers who have bounced around from Cuba to Canada to Texas. And they’ll need Kasich’s base of "men in blue blazers and white khakis who actually followed politics pre-Sarah Palin."

THEY'LL ALSO NEED Trump to drop out of the race.

Hillary Clinton To Be From Pennsylvania This Week

HILLARY CLINTON, who last week began a New York rally with the words “there’s no place like home” is once again playing up her home state ties… only apparently her home state is now Pennsylvania, which is set to vote tomorrow.

"THIS PLACE HAS A LOT of not just memories, but special meaning to me,” Clinton told a crowd in down-on-its-luck Scranton, raising the idea that okay maybe she had been there before, even if much of it was 30 years ago.

IN FACT, CLINTON'S FATHER, Hugh Rodham, was a Scranton native whose own father was a millworker. Hugh Rodham “thought it was God’s country,” Clinton recalled — perhaps a veiled admission that her father was an atheist.

"Game of Thrones" Causes Nation to Test How Many Simultaneous Logins A Single "HBO Go" Account Allows

THIS WEEKEND BROUGHT Americans a dose of intrigue and betrayal, lies and backstabbing, violence and retribution… all in the name of sweet, seductive power. And that was just Cruz’s delegate grab. Also, Americans watched the season premiere of Game of Thrones.

THE SHOW HAS ENTERED its sixth season, which is the first one to air ahead of its respective installment in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series. And many questions will be answered this season.

IS FAN FAVORITE JON SNOW ALIVE, dead, or in between? Will Aidan Gillen — who played a Martin O’Malley inspired character in The Wire — give a nod to that role by taking off his shirt and playing acoustic guitar? And exactly how slow will the internet at work be if everyone is downloading the same BitTorrent at once?

Donald Trump Will Never Back Down as President (Unless Ted Cruz Tells Him To)

NO, THE LATE ROCKER PRINCE DID NOT HELP CREATE THE AIR JORDAN. The petite, ethnic-looking man making the shoe was actually a Chinese sweatshop worker.

WRONG SAID TED—Conservative plutocrat Charles Koch suggested he was somewhat open to a Hillary Clinton presidency over the weekend, proving the old adage: No matter what your ideology, literally every politician in the country is preferable to Ted Cruz.
