Rubio's campaign tells Ohio supporters to vote for Kasich
Politico ^

Posted on 03/11/2016 8:43:24 AM PST by springwater13

Marco Rubio’s campaign says supporters of the Florida senator should back John Kasich in Ohio on Tuesday if they want to stop Donald Trump.

“If you are a Republican primary voter in Ohio and you want to defeat Donald Trump, your best chance in Ohio is John Kasich,” Alex Conant, Rubio’s communications director, told CNN.

“The same is true here in Florida,” Conant said, emphasizing that Rubio is the candidate best positioned to beat the real-estate mogul in the state’s primary Tuesday for its 99 winner-take-all delegates.

“Yes, my answer is John Kasich is the one candidate in Ohio that can beat Donald Trump,” Conant said when pressed on whether he was asking Rubio supporters to back Kasich in the governor’s state. “That’s stating the obvious.”

That telegraphs the contents of the Jeb, Rubio, Cruz, Kasich meeting. “Implement plan ‘Magic Underwear.’”

Wow. Just... just wow.

Nice vision for America these campaigns are selling.

Not “I want to win”.

Not “I have the best ideas”.

Just “do whatever it takes to stop Trump”.

Their desperation is close to literally oozing through my monitor.

I sincerely hope they all get crushed.

I’d rather “magic underwear” than underwear full of crap like Trump.

A vote for Kasich is a wasted vote. He won’t win the delegate race. He won’t be selected as POTUS by the convention. It’s just pure wasted vote.

If this statement is true ... that IS the towel thrown in the ring.

Kasich is a spoiler.
He’s not on the ballot in his birth state of Ohio and he is missing from several counties in Illinois.
He’s a devious troll who was plopped in the race to get Ohio and he is staying in it because he is being ‘played’ by the establishment.
He truly thinks they will anoint him President as a brokered convention.

He’s been promoted beyond his capability already. No need to force him on the country.

Vote for the other guy. How inspiring. Why should a Floridian vote for Rubio now?

We can only hope that the rank and file is seeing how rigged these campaigns have been. The candidate selection was presumably made long ago with little jebbie.

Now that the one individual, who is not owned by the party is in the lead, they are doing everything in their power to screw him and us in the process.

I think Kasich has a better chance in Ohio than Rubio has in Florida.

But, man... talking about DESPERATION.

The public aren't stupid, and they can smell the stench of a losing campaign and a losing idea.

Little Marco hasn't caught on. It's in everyone's best interest for him to lose Florida and get out of the race.

Cruz, Kasich, Trump. They all have their reasons for wanting Marco to lose Florida. They're not going to reciprocate on this move.

"I sincerely hope they all get crushed."

I go you one better, nevermind the schadenfreude. I hope DJT puts together the ultimate team to un-Fubar everything that has been done not by just Oboingo, but going all the back to GHWB that quietly un-did the Reagan Era, and that means every bone-head move in those years, including Clinton, & Bush-II. We are a flippin' mess, I am not sure The Donald knows what the H&ll he is getting into...

New campaign tactic :
Don’t vote for me.
Vote for the other guy.
So we can stop that third guy.

Brilliant !

The only reason you would do this is you know you are going to
get creamed in FLA, then drop out in humiliation.
