“That chart doesn’t account for the possibility that Kasich could drop out and commit his delegates to Cruz. That would put 1237 within Cruz’s reach, at least theoretically.”
If Trump is within 100 of the nomination, a deal with Kasich (or Rubio—remember, Marco still has his delegates and his campaign is only suspended) is the most likely outcome. Both are attractive VP candidates and come from big swing states. Not sure Rubio helps in FLA, though.
True, but I wasn’t commenting about what’s likely, just about what’s possible.
