Trump will never pick Cruz for VP at this point. That ship sailed. But don’t be surprised if he picks Kasich.
Cruz had his chance to draft Donald all the way to the convention. The team would have been unstoppable. Then the he decided to grab for the ring and it’s been downhill ever since.
You are right. Kasich delivers Ohio.
Why?
This is not a sentimental man, not in that way.
This is business.
It’s just like him to turn a 180 and say it plainly that this was all part of the contest, and let bygones be bygones.
Trump is ruthless and completely lacking the need to pretend to noble virtues - or rather pious hypocrisies.
This is a very new thing in politics, a man with no shame.
I have no idea whether this is a good or bad thing, but to predict him we have to forget conventional thinking.
