John Kasich.

“The most powerful force in our time is the grassroots of the American people rising”, Cruz said. “The party was split between two camps: Those who were resigned to him, and those ready to offer resistance to him”. “It’s a message to the party leadership”.

“He had a chance to put this thing away”, Madden said. His immediate problem, other than the fact of his inability to win over minority voters, is that next week’s map – Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware – looks a lot like the NY map, if you don’t count all those tall buildings and the Naked Cowboy in Times Square.
