LIVE THREAD: John Kasich Speech - Suspension of Campaign - (5PM ET)

[SamAdams76]

Coming up in a few minutes. Looks like he's going to be speaking in front of a barn door.

BTTT

I just heard it in the car and our local talker played the theme to ‘Titanic’ behind it. LOL!

[CaptainK]

Same here. How did I miss it. I was anticipating the word.

Kasich suspension.

Some of Kasich's delegates became unbound when he suspended

[CaptainK]

That’s priceless.

[paintriot]

He was such a non issue that Drudge didn’t even put it up.

[Bernard]

Probably more confusion. I thought that when a candidate "suspends" the campaign, the bound delegates stay bound until the convention. Suspending is different from dropping out entirely, and I don't know the technical term for the latter.

I do hope that the cumulative election rules across the states is smaller than the Internal Revenue Code, but listening to Kasich's speech earlier reminded me that politicians love to talk. It's more comfortable for them than actually getting something done.

That was the most pitiful speech I have ever heard in my life.

They ought to give him his own weekly TV show.

John Kasich and His Best Friend Bear.

And he can drive around the country in his rig and help everyone he runs into with their problems.

[Peter ODonnell]

He said he would seek the Lord’s guidance for his future.

“Lord Trump, what should I do now?”

“Hey John, stick around, I may need a v.p. Or Walmart may have some greeter positions opening up with my strong economic plan.”

[MrEdd]

Absolutely he helped NeverTrump.
There were people who hate phony Prosperity gospel people more than Trump. Kasich gave them an option.

History of his quote. Recited by Eisenhower the last president we elected without political background

Yeah but in Canada that would just be your average political speech.

Let’s wait until Obama’s farewell speech before deciding the absolute rock bottom stinker.

I was wondering about those 66 Ohio delegates and Ohio’s election laws, and whether or not those delegates automatically become Trump delegates.

[Read Write Repeat]

Thank you, Governor Kasich.

[silent_jonny]

Here is the one highlight of the Kasich 2016 campaign. Winning his home state of Ohio. He got more ticker tape dumped on him that night than John Glenn when he returned from outer space.

ROFL!

[SamAdams76]

With regard to Eisenhower, why he did not have an elected position, he was certainly well schooled in politics at the highest levels as his role of Supreme Commander in WW2 put him in close contact with most of the world leaders of that time.

Trump is definitely in uncharted territory here.

[Kenny]

I think the GOP and #NeverTrump pacs funded him. I don’t know if he was there to help split the vote with Cruz or maybe Trump funded him to stop Cruz. Never know. Politics makes strange bedfellows.

[hoosiermama]

He has done business with government all over the world buying and building properties Have you ever looked at a list of what he owns and where it is located ?

[hoosiermama]

Here are the buildings. It does not include the deposits and hotel properties
