Could very well be IF Kasich wins Ohio.
Trump isn’t as good as Reagan, but Kasich isn’t as bad as GHW Bush...
I think it will be Trump/Cruz. They reportedly got along fine early in the process, and in the history of political rivalries, their spat is hardly something they can’t get past.
Trump will go for the Reagan/working class Dem vote while using Cruz to protect the base and target evangelicals in places like Iowa, Wisc, VA, FL, NC, Ohio, Indiana. I think the two of them would make Hillary have to thread the needle and put more pressure on her while Trump would go for a couple non GOP states...MI PA etc.
Strategically Cruz gives Trump cover to continue to make broad strokes that appeal in the general, while not risking the right base.
It double downs on immigration, and it would take nothing to pivot Cruz back to an non establishment candidate...which is another double down.
The media would be all over the place trying to attack the pair....they would be twisted in knots in how to frame it.
Just my prediction anyway.
