The debates would be amusing - Bambi standing in the middle of a highway while an 18-wheeler bears down at 80mph.

I doubt Trump will debate John Kasich ever again. Kasich won't be relevant in a GOP primary vs. Trump, nor polling the required 15% minimum to get into the presidential debates (for the record, I don't believe Kasich will run third party.)

I do expect the media to heavily promote Kasich or Flake or whoever the delusional, still-butthurt-over-2016 Bill Kristol #NeverTrump-types end up running. Sometime around spring 2019 we'll get one of those quadrennial early polls showing unlikely candidate X is doing surprisingly well, by which I mean CNN or The Washington Post will feature a blaring headline of "GOP Primary Poll: John Kasich Within Five Points of Trump in New Hampshire." You know, I know, everyone knows Kasich/Flake/Sasse ain't going to defeat Trump in the 2020 GOP presidential primary, but the mainstream media will use them as a useful idiot to bash Trump while pretending there's some "drama" about who'll win.
