Please read fully before judging!
1 ) He's 6.5% ahead of Hillary Clinton in general match up polls, well outside the margin or error. He also only trails her in New York by a small margin, which is Clinton's home state. If the Republicans win the state of New York, its over.
2 ) He's a completely undamaged candidate. Trump and Cruz had already gone 15 rounds. While Trump may emerge, the back and forth personal stuff and insults between the two have not helped.
3 ) Kasich will win the state of OHIO. A must have for the Republicans.
4 ) Kasich eliminated the state of Ohio's $8 billion deficit and created what is now a $1.4 billion surplus. Simply amazing. He has the right message on taxes for small business and people making under $80,000.00 a year. America needs this.
5 ) To win an election, the establishment has to on some level like and trust you. Cruz and Trump do not qualify.
While I do think he tilted a bit to the left in the past few months, its mostly political strategy.
While I think a brokered convention isn't ideal, its part of the rules. Remember Bush beat Gore, not with the popular vote, but with the electrical delegates math.
Republicans need to get pragmatic. Goal #1 it to stop Clinton. This supersedes all other goals combined. On that, they all agree, and right now I think only one person can do that. Two months ago, Trump could have beaten Clinton. Now I think he's damaged and might not recover.
Getting back to goal #1. I'm with Kasich. Let him win the Presidency. Let Trump win the bid to build the wall. Then give Cruz an option for the Supreme Court if he wants that path or his #1 pet project in his state. All behind closed curtains of the brokered convention!
