Huh, I thought Kasich would be doing a lot better in the Philadelphia area.

For all this talk about how so many Republicans will defect if Trump becomes the nominee, he doesn't seem to be noticeably weaker than Cruz in that regard.

Kasich is just sad. Should be doing much better here.

[Seriously?]

Kasich is just sad. Should be doing much better here.

Not really, if you look at the Ohio map, he basically lost all of the counties bordering PA. Eastern PA will have the Trump effect from him being so well known in NY. Part of the NYC exurbs are in NE PA. Trump also obviously ran casinos in Atlantic City, which is in the Philly market.

Kasich has no business being in this race. He is doing the GOP-e's bidding by playing spoiler. You and I have the same chance of winning the nomination on the first ballot as he does.

Remember, this is among GOP primary voters, not the larger electorate. You're less enthused GOP voters will probably be more likely to flip or abstain.

He should be beating Cruz at least. I do agree he has no business being in the race.

I am not even convinced Kasich is that great of a spoiler. He seems to help Trump as much as he hurts him. Can't wait until his campaign is broke.
