There were 17 choices at one time.They have been whittled down, fair and square, to 2 or 3, if you count Kasich.Trump appeals on an emotional level vs Cruz on a more intellectual level. Kasich's appeal is emotional as well, being "we have to stop them both at all costs or we're gonna die!" Most of the criticism that I see of Cruz seems to be centered on "nobody likes him" or his religious up- bringing.The "nobody likes him" reason has it's roots in that he won't play ball( surrender his core beliefs) with the party elites, which is also one of his strong points. His religious views seem to scare more liberals(Maya and Bharitu) as if he were going to *Talibanize* the federal government.*Repugnants* aren't offering any choice to liberals. They already have their own via the Democrat party. However, many see Trump as a Democratic Trojan horse. He campaigns as a super staunch conservative, throwing red meat to those wanting change but his past actions and thoughts were usually in line with New York liberal values, pay to play, abortion on demand, nationalized healthcare, trade protectionism, etc. "Know a tree by the fruit it bares".

Let's face it - the Repugnants are not offering much of a choice this election cycle. If anyone were to ever call me a "conservative" I'd be appalled whereas many take that title with pride.

I am of the strong opinion ofagreeing with those who will votefor anyone except Trump. Even TedCruz would be preferable but onlybecause by voting for him you arehopefully denying Trump delegates.But my question is, if you insist onbeing a Repugnant Republican thenwhy not Kasich? At least the guyseems somewhere in the middle ofcrazy rather than on the extremeeither end of it.http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-0412-goldberg-cruz-best-bet-20160412-column.html
