John Kasich could guarantee Ted Cruz the Republican presidential nomination by dropping out and endorsing the Texas senator over Donald Trump, political strategist Dick Morris told

"At that point, Cruz has the option of winning about 55 percent or 56 percent of the remaining delegates and getting the nomination," he predicted. "It would be a fair fight — but as they stand now unless Kasich makes a bold move, Trump has this thing locked up."
