Hmm that's kind of an interesting scenario actually. Kasich would LFF Trump obviously, but he would LFF the Democratic candidate substantially too. If Trump can dominate Kasich in the red states, he can probably hold onto their electoral votes. If he's getting 35% nationally, it's better if he drops to <10% in the deep blue states. Then it's hard to win the swing states with a leech obviously but Republican voters are pretty astute about falling in line so they may back Trump massively outside the blue states come election day.

If the national popular vote ended something like 45/35/20, Trump could win the election and beat Lincoln's record (39%) for Republican president with lowest popular vote percentage.

This is insane. Democrat is guaranteed California and New York Illinois Washington Seattle. Now you are splitting Republican vote in battlegrounds Ohio PA Wisconsin Minnesota North Carolina Etc.

A democrat could likely win all but like 8 states in that scenario.


That's more likely, yeah. But if Kasich is splitting those moderate voters, the ones the Democrats have tried so hard to win over in recent years, while Trump dominates the working class, it could happen.
