Well, I for one said that Kasich would surge ahead of Cruz after announcing. It’s not like he had that far to go.
Well I don't believe he's there....pollsters do not want Cruz in the debates, and they would love another mini Jeb pro Obama Care Republican in.
But consider this looking forward: Cruz has far more donors (numerously) and far more support on talk radio and far more support on the internet. In other words, among the well informed - Cruz is 25 fold of Kasich I bet, if not more. These are leading indicators. Watch these indicators play out as more people become better informed.
