Kasich has got to be the front runner for Trump veep. Has Trump ever criticised Kasich?
They are both big government liberal Republicans and Trump needs an insider who knows how to pull the levers of power.
I think Cruz was Trump’s original choice for this role but Trump realized early on that Cruz was not a Yes-Man who would not be willing to participate in the “deals” that Trump wants to make with the establishment on both sides of the isle. That’s why Trump criticized Cruz’s refusal to get along with Turtle McConnell.
Kasich is a proven squishy centrist establishment type who Trump needs to carry out his program, and he can help deliver Ohio and other Midwest states to boot.
Agree it might be Kasich for the reasons you clearly state. If a contested convention, Trump will cut a deal in advance to make Hothead John his VP and get (most of) his delegates.

How would Kasich help as a DC insider? Kasich is a governor. Kasich love vest his illegals and therefore belongs in jail. Kasich is an all around a-hole.
