Kasich would make sense, in an attempt to stop a mass defection of the establishment wing from the Republican party. That would leave conservatives as the only large faction bolting the Republican party. Trump would still go down in flames in the general election (whether conservatives have a 3rd party to vote for or just start cleaning their rifles), but at least he’d take the establishment with him.
With Kasich, yes, he’d probably lose. Depends on who the VP pick is, though. I think if he picks a strong military officer with some political cred, it could be a winner. Trump on the economy and immigration, the military VP as the foreign policy, military side, VA issues, commitment to Vets...
I told Mr GG2 tonight I would not be surprised if Trump picked Ksick for VP. Ohio is a must win swing state. And Johnny is a good party foot soldier. Trump won’t have to look over his shoulder every day.
