Republican presidential candidate and Ohio Governor John Kasich destroyed hundreds of thousands of jobs in his home state by supporting the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), Donald Trump told supporters.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) -- The Republican Party establishment backs Kasich in Ohio and Senator Marco Rubio in his home state of Florida in the hope they can win the delegates in the Tuesday primaries to slow Trump’s drive towards the Republican nomination. However, Trump leads Rubio in Florida by large margins according to polls.
"[Kasich] signed NAFTA when he was a congressman," Trump said in a speech at Youngstown Airport in Ohio on Monday night. "Now he wants to sign TPP. That is worse is going to be worse for Ohio. The car business is going to be destroyed by TPP but he wants it."
Polls show Kasich either leading Trump or being tied with him in a dead heat in Ohio, where the winner of the primary wins all its delegates to the Republican National Convention to be held in the same state in July.
"Go out. You've got to beat got to beat Kasich. Your governor is absentee… He's weak on the borders," Trump told a crowd thousands of cheering supporters.
St. Louis still at 83% but it was actually Trump by only 1,250 or so.

Watching to see any analysis of Rubio throwing his support to Kasich in Ohio. Don’t know that it was the margin of difference, but it appears to have expanded it.
Silly Russians. Just having fun and pulling some strings.
Really? That's your take on the article? Kasich won because Ohioans have proven to be really messed up in the head. Trump gets it and his speech last night showed that he gets it.
My point was... why vote for him?? so he can win ONE state??
yes Cruz is a traitor and must be stopped.
can’t believe how so many people are fooled by this Cruz canadian charlatan
Gotcha.
It's starting to look like Kasich (who has zero chance) and Cruz, (who has next to zero chance) will be acting as 'allies" trying to keep Trump from getting the requisite electors - gonna piss a LOT of the People off as they work specifically to keep trump out via a "contested" or finally a "brokered" bit of treachery against the will of the People. Us folks in Mississippi remember a similar deal that kept conservative McDaniel out and re-seated Cochran.
