Cruz also is a bad general election candidate because he is by far the weakest of the R candidates in the swing states. That matters more than the popular vote polls.

This doesn't get emphasized enough by the media. Per politico the swing states that mean shit in 2016 are Ohio, Colorado, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Virginia, and Florida... but realistically its Ohio/Virginia/Florida that are the only ones that matter.

Cruz did already did terribly in Virginia. In Florida, his absolute best poll had him at 15% for the GOP primary, and in the Florida specific head-to-head against Clinton he loses by 8 points (as well as loses by 7 points to Sanders). Ohio he's a little better off, but still down by 10 or 20 points to Trump (depending on the poll).

This is why I'm surprised the establishment hasn't pushed Kasich.

If the Kenyan village's missing idiot can be, Cruz can be. Lib's wished this upon us and made it so!

Kasich is the only candidate, either party, who has accomplished anything of substance in government. He's just not willing to be a political party lap dog, so the party doesn't support him.
