Prediction markets give John Kasich better odds than Marco Rubio to win the nomination

Dear Cruz supporters: I TOLD YOU SO!! All along, their strategy was to ignore Kasich because he was irrelevant. I kept cyber-screaming that he is a very effective, focused campaigner when he gets going. He's very good at exploiting the weakness in opponents. We're seeing his ads in OH, and they're real good. I'd be surprised if they don't bring in some Michigan voters.

I can imagine a scenario where Kasich's delegates matter.

Saying Kasich's odds are better than Rubio's is kind of like saying the Cleveland Browns odds are better than the Detroit Lions. Technically true, but inconsequential.

There's gonna be an Establishment candidate. It will be either Rubio or Kasich. Both in splits the Establishment vote. Cruz has good, but limited resources, and he doesn't do as well in the northeast, where Kasich is strong. When Kasich gets stronger, it is at the expense of Rubio, not Cruz or Trump.

My Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry teacher in high school was a wise Turkish man, Dr. Ararat. He likened fighting variables with secret agent. The Secret Agent (James Bond, John Drake) wins fights when it is one on one, but not two on one or three on one. Same with variables in higher math, same with presidential races. Trump himself focuses his eye of Sauron on only one candidate at a time. Right now it is Rubio. He also mostly ignores Kasich. It's good strategy.

Better Kasich than Cruz. With Cruz we get the NAFTA, one world continent. Look how well the EU has worked out. Heidi is very involved in seeing our nationality lost forever.
