Trump/Kasich Ticket. Kasich withdraws and delivers enough Ohio delegation votes to get to 1237.

Nope. Delegates are bound to vote for their candidates on the first ballot.

2. Trump/Rubio Ticket. Rubio delivers.

Same as # 1. Plus Rubio is already formed an alliance with Cruz in some states. Rubio likes Sleazy tRump like he likes plison.

That's true as long as he is a candidate. If he withdraws his candidacy as Rubio did it may no longer apply. It depends on the Ohio rules and they vary from state to state. Florida delegation voters are pretty much free as I understand it.

Yes, Rubio is with Cruz. Today. If Trump offers him the VP and he can deliver then all bets are off. But, of course, that discussion may well have already happened and the Kasich discussion likewise.

You’re having a day dream. Trump got 1.1 million votes in Rubio’s state. Won every county but one. Rubio is not crossing Trump because it would be the end of his political career in Florida. LOL.

My understanding and it could be wrong, is that if Kasich drops out, per State rules his delegates from Ohio revert to the No. 2 candidate who is Trump. So he does not have to do anything for Trump to get his delegates just stop running.

And Kasich has teamed up with Trump against Cruz already....

So would a Governor want to be owed a huge favor by a sitting president who is running on bringing back manufacturing to America?
