He wouldn't "crush" her... but I think a generic republican (and Kasich is probably pretty close to generic Republican) would probably have a slight edge. Really though generic Republican was never going to win the Primaries... remember that 2nd place was Ted Cruz, who would have been the most conservative candidate since Goldwater.
Republican's have gotten themselves into this awkward state where the odds of winning the primaries are almost inverse of their odds of winning the general.
