John Kasich is going to Ohio this afternoon and will make an announcement at 5PM

Most likely he's going to drop out too.

So, the Republicans are acting more realistic and mature than the Sanders campaign.

Sad.

Fiorina as his VP and give her a third shot?

I seriously doubt he's dropping out after his release this morning: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/john-kasich-gop-only-hope-222787

Kasich was the one that scared me. A vile woman and union hater who somehow comes across as "moderate" to many.
Optimistic scenario: Trump loses. The Repugs, in their infinite wisdom, decide once and for all that the reason for their loss was failure to nominate a "true conservative." So Cruz (or a similar RWNJ) runs in 2020 and loses big time.

going to hurt Hillary. Meanwhile Trump can start planning for the GE. I think it's time people like Elizabeth Warren urged him to get out and endorsed Hillary.

So Trump gets to court the media as the nominee while the media gets to pretend the democratic primary is still a horse race.
