He is in front nationally. Odds are currently in his favor. I do not deny that. I am pointing out that those who think it will be Trump/Cruz are mistaken. He likes Kasich. After he uses conservatives to win the primary, he will no longer be beholden to them.

Many, many liberals love Kasich.
He couldn't win a race even if he were the only runner.

After he uses conservatives to win the primary, he will no longer be beholden to them.

I don't think anyone is going to vote for him believing that he will advance the "conservative" agenda. I think a lot of conservatives will vote for him with the expectation that he will start solving some of the nation's big problems.
