I pretty much agree. My values align with one much more than the other, but I would be happy with either since it would be somewhat refreshing to have someone in office whom I believe, whatever their stance, was always trying to do what they believed was right. Meanwhile, I think Cruz is the most dishonest of the lot, and that includes Trump and Hillary. What he did to win in Iowa, both the voter violation and the claiming Carson dropped out stuff was reprehensible.
Cruz is likely to face an investigation for election fraud. Even if he doesn't he's been publicly exposed as having hoodwinked the Evangelicals of Iowa, making them appear to be a bunch of gullible hayseeds. This could cost him everything.
“These were garden-variety, stereotypical charges that are leveled at a candidate in the context of an election,” said Rob Nichols, a spokesman for Kasich. “Since the election went away, those issues have evaporated.” "It says a lot about him and the successes he's had as governor that the people who know him the very best are the people supporting him the most, knowing full well they won't get anything out of it," Nichols added. In his 2010 campaign, Kasich took more money from the oil and gas industry than any candidate in Ohio history, Nichols said, and in office he imposed new regulations and sought higher taxes on the industry. New Day for America earned support because Kasich "has the strongest economic record of any candidate running," press secretary Connie Wehrkamp said. She said the super PAC doesn't coordinate with the campaign.
