Full Disclosure: I've endorsed Kasich for over a month since Christie quit. However I won't lose a night of sleep if he loses because none of these candidates excite me. My alternate choices in order are Trump, Rubio, and Cruz on the GOP side.
If Trump wins Ohio then this will push the GOPxe to coalesce around Ted Cruz and force Kasich to join Rubio out. Then it becomes a close race with 64% odds for Trump, 34% odds for Cruz, and 2% on something else.
If Kasich wins Ohio then Rubio drops out, endorses Kasich, and we then have a 44-28-28 race with Trump in the lead over Cruz and Kasich who are neck2neck headed into a plethora of winner-take-all contests. Thus the odds are 70% for Trump, 16% for Cruz, 9% for Kasich, and 5% on something else.
Just my 2 cents but Trump looks better off if Kasich wins Ohio.
Odd that so many inconvenient people ended up in Rock Creek Park during the Clinton years.
I thought that Perot was our last chance, but Trump has made me believe that the impossible is now probable, and I too pray for the Trump family’s safety.
What Trump is as courageous an act as the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and although I’m not naive to think he will be perfect, compared to the dreck we’ve been subjected to it’ll be like an oxygen mask in the sewer!
“The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions.” ~ John Locke 1690

“Trump looks better off if Kasich wins Ohio.”
Interestingly oddly ironically true.
I don’t see Trump picking Cruz at all, no reason to. Even though he won the Texas primary, he got the least % of any Texas Senator before him. Texas shouldn’t be a problem for Trump in the general and Trump has already taken most of his Evangelical voters, so what good is he to Trump.
Rubio is no help to him in Florida
Carson doesn’t bring help in any state, but as head of the DOE would be really helpful
Christy is no help in NJ
Kasich could help in Ohio, but even though Trump will tack to the middle for the general, he would have to reverse almost everything he has said the past 2 weeks.
I think he will maybe focus on someone who could help with Ohio, Penn, Nev, FL or Arizona

Article by Bill Bennett
Onyx this article makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up!!! This is REALLY scary stuff!!! Bennett knows this crap from the inside!!! We all talk about the evil in the government but seeing it in black and white is quite stunning I feel like I am in Venezeula!!!!!
Thank you for getting this to everyone!!!
My stars! Bill Bennett! Thank you very much for the ping.
He may need a body guard now, himself.
I think he NEEDS to STAY AWAY from ANYONE in government!!! Carson would be a good choice!!!! He NEEDS to blow up this DC CARTEL!!!!!
True that, but he may bring a larger percentage of the black population which may be even more helpful than a single state. It may even bring many states.
I read somewhere that if a candidate drops out, his delegates are no longer committed on the first ballot. That means the GOPe would have to worry that some of them would go with Trump. So Rubio and Kasich have to stay in to the convention. Which would take votes from Cruz and prevent it from being a one on one death cage match. We’ll see how the GOPe chooses to play it.
Wow I’m surprised that Bill Bennett posted this, he has been a classic RINO.
Bill Bennett Has defined the nightmare that is real.
Great article, but some on the thread are saying that Bill Bennett didn’t write it.
I’m pretty sure this has been posted on the forum before. I personally think it’s dead accurate, no matter who wrote it.
“Prayers for safety for Donald Trump and his family.”
I just think that needs to be repeated. Things are getting scary out there.
That is THE article of this election, election 2016.
Nothing written from last June through November will be more important.
And that would be November 2016.
