Kasich Will Be Trump's VP

Post by MediumTex »

They're not touching each other in the debate.

The only possible reason is some kind of deal.

Without a deal, Kasich would be going at Trump at least a little.  I haven't heard a cross word exchanged between them tonight.

Maybe they will knock heads later.

When you're polling as low as Kasich, though, you've got to take some shots at the leader.

You're not thinking Christie for VP? I thought he was trying to go around with Trump (such as his Super Tuesday party) since he's been burning his bridges back in Jersey (they don't want him back hah).

AG is all Christie can hope for.

VP Christie gets Trump nothing.  Kasich positions Trump to win Ohio.

VP.

That's why Kasich seems so relaxed.  He looks like he's having fun up there.  You wouldn't know he was in last place.

Agreed. Ohio vs NJ is a no brainer. Christie is on his way out in NJ so he didn't have many options anyway.

Kasich is in some ways the Anti-Trump. He's nice, calm, substantive and establishment. He might go a long way towards gaining the establishment's trust.

I'm guessing Trump has already agreed to pay Kasich's debt and Trump can keep him as long as he's necessary, siphoning some votes from Cruz and Rubio.

Kasich would be the perfect choice. Also, by him staying in the race he pulls votes from Rubio, helping assure Rubio's demise in Florida.

This seems like the perfect play. I would love that ticket.

Kasich said after the debate there is no way he would be Trump's VP.

We will see.

Chief of Staff?
That's not a promotion from Governor of Ohio.
