He has to cut a deal no matter.
Kasich wants the VP slot, and Cruz should be sent back to Canada.
It is either that or they insert their own little puppet.
I have already sent a nasty-o-gram to my congressman warning him what happens if they play that game. Tole him that if that happens-7 to 10 million of us walk.
At this point I believe it still likely Trump can get to 1237 but if not I would urge him to cut a deal with Kasich who has 143 delegates. And I agree with you that Kasich is running hard for VP.
Kasich’s a better choice than cutting a deal with Teddy IMO for two reasons. First with Teddy Trump would have to look over his shoulder everyday to make sure there was not a knife in his back. Second the Democratic party will likely throw up a challenge to Cruz’s eligibility which if done by the opposing party is very serious. It would create unnecessary havoc.
Kasich is a good party foot soldier who will do what he’s told and he will help win Ohio a must win swing state.
Whatever he has to do Trump needs to cut a deal before the convention and make sure he has the delegates to win on the first ballot. I’m sure he knows he does not want to get involved in a floor fight.
