What about if it’s neither Trump nor Cruz.
There are only two political lanes, conservative and establishment. Currently Trump is in the conservative lane because his issues are 100% conservative and he has no ties to the establishment, doesn’t owe them anything including his political future.
Cruz and Kasich share the establishment lane. Cruz has 100% conservative views but is now solidly in with establishment money, organization, endorsements, etc. Cruz would owe the GOP for this race then depend on them for his next race. Though since Cruz doesn’t belong to the club, the GOP would probably sue Ted for natural born citizen eligibility if he got that far.
Kasich has always been establishment, 9 terms in House then to Lehman Bros where he got 1/2 million a year for selling access. He’s pro-amnesty, for gun control, 100% in for TPP/Obamacare and the list goes on. He is totally funded by GOP and GOP donors.
Thus voters have to pick a lane, no other way to see it.
