Prediction markets give John Kasich better odds than Marco Rubio to win the nomination

Dear Cruz supporters: I TOLD YOU SO!! All along, their strategy was to ignore Kasich because he was irrelevant.

Saying Kasich's odds are better than Rubio's is kind of like saying the Cleveland Browns odds are better than the Detroit Lions. Technically true, but inconsequential.

There's gonna be an Establishment candidate. It will be either Rubio or Kasich. Both in splits the Establishment vote. Cruz has good, but limited resources, and he doesn't do as well in the northeast, where Kasich is strong. When Kasich gets stronger, it is at the expense of Rubio, not Cruz or Trump.

My Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry teacher in high school was a wise Turkish man, Dr. Ararat. He likened fighting variables with secret agent. The Secret Agent (James Bond, John Drake) wins fights when it is one on one, but not two on one or three on one. Same with variables in higher math, same with presidential races. Trump himself focuses his eye of Sauron on only one candidate at a time. Right now it is Rubio. He also mostly ignores Kasich. It's good strategy.

Ignoring Kasich IS NOT good strategy. As I've said, he's an effective campaigner. I always wondered if Kasich was "plan B" for the puppetmasters. By being invisible for so long, nobody is aware of just how much of a Democrat and deep-pockets slave he is.

On the other hand, in this crazy year, could Trump choose him as VP and put together a majority? Kasich says he wouldn't be VP, but he's a long-term strategist. It might not be a bad idea, actually. He isn't evil or corrupt, just typical.
