Robert Costa: Trump/Cruz Appears More Likely than Trump/Kasich

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 

[excerpt] 
MATTHEWS: "But can all ts be done? It seems to me if it's within reach and he had to get off the VP Job to Kasich, and pick up 200 or 300 delegates, it seems to me doing by the first ballot."
COSTA: "It's very doable and i think that's what Trump's eyeing the deal. A deal can be made if Trump doesn't win on the first ballot, It will be about getting the second ballot. Discipline is needed on the second ballot. If you study the convention rules they become unbound and chaos on the floor unless you have a strategy."
MATTHEWS: "I think he can get --"
COSTA: "I think Kasich -- if he's close, I mean, Cruz believes if he stays in this race and he goes to a lot of these more conservative states question rack up enough to get some kind of right wing coalition to combat Trump."
MATTHEW: "Enough to get a majority?"
COSTA: "Probably not. Maybe multiple ballots and the other scenario and people weren't talking about this for awhile but now they are is a Mitt Romney, a Paul Ryan. Still a hope in Washington some kind of consensus establishment emerge."
MATTHEWS: "Donald Trump closed the evening in a measured tone tonight predicting with him as the nominee, the republican party's numbers would grow exponentially."
COSTA: "The Republican heart has a great chance to embrace millions of people that it's never known before, they're coming by the millions. These are people that will win us the election and win it easily, embrace these millions of people that now for the first time ever love the Republican Party and unify. Be smart and unify."
