John Kasich: The Candidate Who Wouldn’t Leave

________________________________________

Why should he leave? His game plan is to stick around and see if he can win after the two “real” candidates knock each other out in Cleveland.

Kasich is the only adult in the room of current candidates.

The thing is, I don't think it matters if he goes right to the end or not.

If the Convention decides to go outside the top two (which I fervently hope they do not) why should they limit themselves to Kasich? Or why should the fact that he's in it at the end even matter at all? He could drop out, and still be considered if they go outside the top two.

He's my governor, and he's basically not doing his job while chasing a pure fantasy.

If he can't do that, he has a block of delegates that gives him leverage to get policy positions supported or a VP slot.

Actually, he’s perfectly positioned to be Trump’s VP. Trump will probably be short delegates. Kasich will have enough to put him over. That Kasich is popular in swing state Ohio makes this even more likely. Kasich will hold his nose and go with Trump, imo, if offered the deal.
