“If Trump gets the nomination his veep will of course be Kasich. No brainer. “
I can only see a Kasick VP if Trump needs a deal to reach the nomination on the first ballot. If Trump needs the delegates you may see a Trump/Kasich ticket but it would be a shotgun wedding.
I think if Trump reaches 1237 he will take a younger person who has legislative experience. I’d bet it is a woman to help drive down the negatives with women. A name that has been suggested is Susanna Martinez but we’ll have to wait and see.
I would not be surprised if Kasich ends up on a ticket with Hillary as a “National Unity” ticket to provide a uni-party coalition against Trump. I’m not predicting that but just saying I would not be surprised to see it.

I tend to agree. The pick will probably not be someone whose name is being bandied about. Expect a surprise, with the factors you outline.
