Cruz forces unload on Kasich in Wisconsin

Ted Cruz's supporters, more irritated than ever by John Kasich's insistence on staying in the Republican race, are launching their first strikes on the Ohio governor.

Cruz's main super PAC on Tuesday began a $500,000 television, radio and digital buy in Wisconsin attacking Kasich as a "liberal governor," the group said.

The argument made by Cruz and his allies is that because Kasich cannot mathematically win the GOP nomination before a contested convention, he is playing "spoiler" in the Republican race by "blocking" Cruz from having the one-on-one race he needs to beat Donald Trump. Both Cruz and Kasich have pledged to compete in Wisconsin, which could strip Cruz of the win he needs in the state to claim some momentum in the GOP contest.

Kasich has returned fire by arguing that Cruz has no chance of winning a general election, given how poorly Kasich says Cruz would fare in a general election. The Ohio governor's campaign had said Cruz should cede states in the Northeast, where Kasich could pose the biggest threat to Trump. But the Texas senator has shown no interest in a delegate-denial alliance against Trump.

Cruz and Kasich could block Trump by cooperating to deny Trump the necessary number of delegates. Instead, knowing that if it goes to a brokered convention, the big money supporters would likely bypass BOTH Trump and Cruz in favor of Kasich and Romney, Cruz is now spending money to attack Kasich. So much for the good of the party. Ted Cruz once again only looking for himself, and perhaps paving the way for Trump to win the nomination.
