Kasich would lose too. That "nice guy" thing wouldn't work because the Democrat strategy is "Waronwomenbigotracistohomophobe" and Kasich would be painted with the same brush. You only need look at the Dole/McCain/Bush/Romney experience to see this. Trump is the only guy who can win. He has accumulated huge negatives but it is possible to mitigate them. He is trending much more favorably with blacks than any candidate since at least Dole. Border security has broad appeal, and trade appeals very heavily to "moderates". He is also the candidate with the most variability, which means that he is also the only guy who could get less than 100 EVs. But I'll take a shot at victory over a guarantee of 255 EVs any day. Under normal circumstances, that is. But if Trump gets only 100 EVs and that is taken as a mandate for open borders and Political Correctness, then I guess I'd rather have Kasich get his <250 EVs and lose.
Sanders would not beat anyone.
