so it would probably mean nothing.

(62,451 posts)4. just looking at realclearpolitics and I add those three up to 889
still I can't imagine Kasich running up much more than 20% against Trump in any of the remaining contests. That should put Trump way over the top.

(5,861 posts)5. Really? If there were only two on the ballot?
That would suggest all Cruz/Rubio voters would go to Trump.

(62,451 posts)6. no one can ever say all, but even a 50/50 split leaves Trump way ahead
Kasich ain't a very attractive candidate either
