The colossal establishment bore Kasich WILL stay in to prevent Cruz from overtaking Trump, and he WILL be rewarded with a VP slot. I predicted this here a month ago and was scoffed at.
I don’t think your scenario is impossible. Kasich has backed off for about a month now from going negative about Trump. The only thing I wonder about is that Senator Portman was at that secret meeting to plot how to steal the nomination from Trump, and he’s endorsed Kasich and probably doing his bidding (or his own).
Kasich has said specifically that under no circumstances would he be a VP candidate with Trump.
Tho I think it could be a good ticket.
Non-scoffer here. I can see trump Kasich as powerful team, especially of DT wins both Florida and Ohio.
So far, there is no danger of Cruz overtaking Trump.
You might be right on that one.
Neither Rubio nor Kasich are going to run away with this. The only reason to stay in is to stymie Cruz by splitting the non-Trump vote.
