How in the hell did Kasich come in second? What a dud. I agree with you on Trump/Cruz ticket. I think that team would sail into the White House.
He's spent nearly all of his time money and energy in NH for months. He didn't even contest IA at all. This was his big shot a win might have mattered but he's a dud in the South and he has no path forward from here.
BTW...according to exit polling he picked up a sizable number of democrat voters who hate Hillary. Just like he wanted.
