GOPe tries to foist this clown, who has won only his own state on us, and it will be the end of the GOP.
Millions like me will fail to attend.
To hell with it.
Let the Clinton crime syndicate have it.

[VerySadAmerican]

The establishment is still banking on the base falling in line as directed and holding their noses to vote for a place holder for the Democrats. ..... Personally, I am finished holding my nose to vote.

All through 2008 people were posting they would not vote for a rino. Mark Levin went nuts when McCain was nominated. Yet the same people voted for McCain.

All through 2012 these same people were posting they would never vote for Romney. Yet they voted for Romney. (I includ myself in these groups.)

So, it’s no wonder the gopE believes we’ll all fall in line behind their candidate. But, like you, I won’t do it again.

HuffPo: Don’t be fooled. Kasich will win the nomination

If he's the nominee - he won't have 'WON' the nomination, it will have been AWARDED to him by the GOPe. BTW - He will NEVER get my vote!

[Twinkie]

Not to mention it’s unfair to all those people who voted
for Trump & Cruz in the primaries.

[thoughtomator]

and I have a moral obligation to deliver any amnesty candidate at least one middle finger

But why would HuffPo want Kasich since they believe Kascih will beat Hillary but Trump won’t. Could it be they are worried sick Trump will get the nomination and demolish Hillary?

The GOPe cares if Republicans stay home because of Kasich way? Those in power will stay in power even if the .republicans lose the Senate and house.

They do not care about the rank and file just the largesse they will receive for delivering on open borders and free trade.

[The Great RJ]

Nominating the Kasich will mean the pantsuit Mussolini will be president

[RIghtwardHo]

Oddly, it’s because we always do. Why should they expect any differently?

All they have to do is wave the “you don’t want Hildabeast as POTUS” meme and the base will dutifully vote.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I won’t vote for any more RINOS.

WRT trade policy, you ain/t seen nuttin' yet.

breitbart.com---Kasich came out in support of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement during the fourth GOP primary debate hosted by Fox Business; Kasich said the deal is “critical.”

“The trade agreement – the TPP – it’s critical to us not only for economic reasons and for jobs because there’s so many people who are connected to getting jobs because of trade, but it allows us to create not only economic alliances, but also potentially strateigic alliances against the Chinese,” Kasich argued in support of the nearly 6,000 page agreement – longer than Obamacare and the failed Gang of Eight immigration bill combined.

“They’re not our enemy, but they’re certainly not our friend,” Kasich said about China.Kasich was questioned about cyber attacks and Chinese investments into the U.S. “China doesn’t own the South China Sea and I give the President some credit for being able to move a naval force in there to let the Chinese know we aren’t going to put up with them anymore,” Kasich charged.

[right way right]

Just a thought, either Both men, Bernie and Trump, could probably gain enough support to go independent if they were pushed out unfairly from their conventions....and run together....kidding.

Trump’s certainly has the Bucks to do it.
But, imagine a four way contest in November.

(Hell, I would rather throw around speculation at this point than mud, it’s a lot more fun!)

More than 20% of the people nationwide supporting Trump have a bad credit rating, compared to just 10% for Kasich, a new survey reveals. (Excerpt) Read more at marketwatch.com ...

Course many of those w/ bad credit scores could be victims of Kasich/s disastrous adventures w/ Lehman Brothers.

LOCAL YOKEL KASICH

Kasich/s "I'm-Just-A-Regular Guy act is wearing thin, The facts are these:

Kasich was managing director of Lehman/s Columbus, Ohio investment banking division until the bank went under in 2008. Kasich says "I wasn't involved in the inner workings of Lehman, I was a banker. I didn't go to board meetings or go and talk investment strategy with the top people."

Kasich is lying b/c a report in The Columbus Dispatch, quotes a Lehman official who said Kasich had “board level and CEO relationships where he helped not only open the door for Lehman Brothers, but he also was a key member of the deal team providing advice.”

==========================================

What does Kasich know about this?

The best book on the 2008-9 banking crisis that slaughtered our economy was “The Sellout,” by Charles Gasparino. He traces several threads:

- How the investment banks (Merrill, Lehman, Bear Stearns) had leveraged themselves into near-death experiences;

- How banks gave out low-down payment mortgages to buyers with sub-standard credit, forcing up prices;

- How the scam of "securitization" meant these sub-standard loans could be bundled up and sold far and wide (w/ great losses to the buyers);

- How the ratings agencies gave out dubious AAA ratings

- How the sales incentives to create mortgage-backed securities led to incredible short term behavior on the part of investment bankers;

- How AIG (insurance) screwed up by guaranteeing many Credit Default Swaps....etc, etc, etc.

==============================================

Kasich got the Lehman job b/c he introduced Ohio pension reps to Lehman officials (2010)

Did Kasich fcilitate Lehman doing education, transportation, municipal bonding deals for Ohio?

(The bonding scam: That/s where the pols and the bank make zillions of dollars in perpetuity....leaves the taxpayers w/ huge tax bills....in perpetuity).

[Kaslin]

Rush calls it the Huff and Puffington post

[Lakeshark]

I beg to differ. No biggie, you likely meant it in a slightly different way, meaning he'll be a loser like they were.

I do believe that Kasich would lose in the worst anti-GOP landslide ever, he would be a disaster all the way down ticket.

He's worse than Jeb as a candidate. Just awful. He's not just a deer in the headlights like Jeb, he's actually way to Jeb's left, and every time he opens his mouth he sounds like he's going to cry a bushel of tears for the chirren, the downtrodden, and any other liberal line he can gush out.

That's not going to get many votes this year of all years.......

[amnestynone]

kasich and Hillary is a choice between two gays a Lesbian and a male homosexual.

[Nuc 1.1]

I’ll put some money against that. Not that I have much but I would put some on it.

[Nuc 1.1]

Exactly.

[Yogafist]

Sadly I think he would put corporate interests ahead of American interests. He has already said he will pass amnesty in his first 100 days. The only legislation we would see signed would benefit his donors and legislation to make it harder to oust incumbent politicians.
