Good Day for Trump, Not Bad for Bernie, But What's Up with Kasich?

Good Primary Tuesday, Friends,

With voting underway in New York, today portends to be YUGE for Donald Trump, and I'm guessing better than predicted for Bernie Sanders.

But what the heck is up with John Kasich?

What do you mean that I look like I'm trying to decide whether to
poop or get off the pot? Give me a little more time please!

Here is a candidate who is spending all kinds of someone else's money to lose every contest he's been in, save for his own state.

He stands no chance of ever coming in better than a distant second place in every remaining state.

So why is Kasich still in the race?

If he's banking on being the nominee who emerges from a brokered convention, he's dreaming. Even voters in his own party think he's a total snooze, despite his otherwise impressive resume.

I've said all along that Trump will have enough votes to clinch the nomination on the first vote, and a brokered convention is just something to talk about to fill the 24-hour news cycle.

Today will be the proof of that pudding.

Trump has the potential to sweep all 95 New York delegates, and if that happens it's really time for Kasich to drop out of the race. This is especially true if his candidacy is only intended to be a Trump stopper.

Ted Cruz has a better, though slim, chance of stopping Trump on his own.

And if Cruz can prevent Donald Trump from attaining the 1,237 delegates he needs to clinch the nomination, you can bet the GOP will not select either Cruz or Kasich to face off against the Democratic opponent in November.

I don't see it ever coming to this.
