How Kasich Enables Trump

Dick Morris



Morris is basing his opinion on polling.  After all, that is his business.



Looking at it from the logical point of view, Cruz should want to join with Trump in keeping rule 40 in force.  This will lock out Kasich permanently.  It will leave Cruz with what he says he wants- a one on one race with Trump.



Trump could like it too, because he has a number of states that he's ahead in.  But, if he truly fears Cruz, he won't like it.  A deal might be made between the two that will give everybody what they say they want.  Trump says he wants fair treatment.  What could be more fair than a one-on-one matchup with Cruz?  Cruz gets what he says he wants, which is that very matchup.  The establishment can get what it claims it wants with a Cruz victory, which in turn, gets rid of Trump.



Kasich doesn't get to be president, but he hasn't earned it.  Maybe Cruz can offer him the veep slot.



Risky?  Yeah.  I can see something going wrong.  If Cruz gets the nomination, and he falters, then what?  Does he step down for Kasich?



Cruz could falter, you bet.  If those adultery charges are true, he's toast.
