John Kasich: ‘I’m Going To Be The Republican Nominee After We Win Ohio’ 03/12/16 By Kailani Koenig

On the day that Donald Trump lodged his toughest attack yet on rival John Kasich, the Ohio governor defended himself in an MSNBC town hall, saying that “wallowing in the mud with Donald is not what I think is a successful strategy.”

Trump’s campaign is airing an advertisement on Ohio television accusing Kasich of being an “absentee governor” and hitting him for his time as a managing director at Lehman Brothers.

“I will say one thing about Lehman Brothers,” Kasich shot back. “I ran a two-man office in Columbus, Ohio. And if I bankrupted Lehman Brothers from a two-man office, I should have been selected pope, not run for president.” The crowd chuckled. “That’s like blaming a car dealer in Lima for the collapse of GM,” Kasich continued.

“Look, it’s all … it’s negative and it’s desperation. But the people of this state, they know me and so I’m not – I’m not concerned about it.”

Nearly half the States have voted and John has not even won 1 State.

Even if he wins Oho does he really think he can win Peenslyvania and New York?

He’s not delusional. But he cannot allow it to be seen that he’s discouraged, lest that make the difference between a win and a loss.

He might win. I don’t know that he’ll lose a bunch of support for blaming Trump for leftist BLM riots like Cruz has. The typical Kasich voter is a more squeamish and middle-of-the-road type that probably agrees with Cruz, Obama, and all the other liberals that it’s Donald Trump’s fault when communist agitators carry out their disruption plans.

And by that I mean, he might win Ohio (not the nomination).

I don’t really think he knows what a winning strategy is, actually.

John reminds of a local Rotary club guy.

He’s a fine enough fellow, but if it goes to a contested convention none of these guys will be President.

You got to win a lot more than just Ohio. At this stage, you would likely have to run the table in the remaining primaries, and there is no way you are going to do that.
