...Kasich made a tactical error in joining Trump in cancelling the FOX debate. Both he and Cruz has an opportunity for extended time and great visuals in an empty podium. True. The situation also would have made it seem that Trump arrogantly thinks he has the nomination locked-up.

I didn't realize that there are no more scheduled debates. Trump has already won that opportunity. How can Cruz and Kasich now demand more debates? Kasich actually might have helped himself of it were only he and Cruz on the stage. Maybe he was afraid people would actually notice him...

As the front runner, he knows that debates will not be in his favor. At this point, he'll be expected to provide details to fill in his vague statements, and he doesn't have any.

We'll see him again debating Madame Clinton, who has some concrete plans, and all his bluster and insults will be wasted when he comes up against someone who is at complete odds with his demagoguery. Thus far he has really only debated with people who agree with him.
Those debates should be a lot more interesting and more damaging to him than any debates against fellow Republicans.

I think Cruz will put pressure on Trump to debate. Cruz knows he is a formidable debater, and needs to keep Kasich down. Kasich is closer to mainline Republican than Cruz. If Kasich gets a few more wins... He Could Become the establishment candidate

I agree. Trump cares about no one but trump. If the two were to debate it would result in some evangelicals and genuine conservatives switching to Cruz. Trump knows this and will avoid any direct face off that would hasten something that's already happening.

At first Dr. Sleepy said that God told him to endorse Trump. Then Dr. Sleepy changed his story and gave us the real one: Trump promised Dr. Sleepy a job in a Trump Administration. Oopsie, that's a Federal violation. Note to self: Don't tell Dr. Sleepy anything - he can't keep a secret.
