Former Republican presidential candidate and Ohio Gov. John Kasich is hitting back against the claim that the election is “rigged” -- an allegation that GOP nominee Donald Trump has repeatedly made in recent days.
When asked in an interview with “CBS This Morning” early Wednesday whether he believed Trump’s assertion of a cooked election was correct, Kasich replied with an emphatic “no.”
“Look, to say that elections are rigged and all these votes are stolen -- that’s like saying we never landed on the moon, frankly,” said Kasich. “That’s how silly it is.”
The Ohio governor further criticized Trump’s position for sowing paranoia about the integrity of democratic institutions.
“I don’t think it’s good for our country, for our democracy, and I don’t believe we have any massive fraud,” Kasich said. “We don’t have that. That’s just a silly argument.”
“The problem is it does create doubt in people’s minds and I worry about 25 percent of Americans who may say when the election’s over that it was stolen,” he added. “That is a big, fat joke.”
Kasich joins the growing chorus of voices blasting Trump’s unfounded claims -- a group that includes House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican.

FUJK ..... you are the of the problem. Uniparty buttwad.
Well. I feel much more at ease, then. I won't get all worked up about the goon tactics of the left outlined in the Veritas Tapes, because...that isn't part of cooking.
Maybe Kasich should shove that “gay” cupcake down his pathetic gullet.
John Kasich - the Ernest T Bass of the GOP.
Kasich = enemy
If I wanted Soros’ opinion, I’ll get it direct from Saul Alinsky.
Thanks anyway, John.
Only someone silly would wonder why Bernie won all the Paper Ballot States while Hillary won all the electronic voting states.
If Trump loses this election, politicians like Kasich, Ryan and a few unnamed others, need to be voted out of office. I think it will be the time for a Third Party to gain substance in opposition to the gang of Democrats and Republicans that now control Washington.
Sorry, 90% of them won’t be voted out. We need another plan.
BUMP!
Funny, but some of us still have doubt that they put a man on the moon. All of the reporting that the government has done is now brought under a cloud of doubt.
So this means that rino K-666 is going to help fix Ohio for hitlery?

Kasich USED to seem like a very conservative guy. But he’s been infected with severe PC since then.
REPORT: Soros Money Funding John Kasich’s Presidential Bid
The election isn’t rigged,but the Russians are interfering with it.
We should ignore the Wikileaks material because it constitutes Russian interference with our elections, but illegally released tax returns and video recorded without permission are all fair game.
Soros is sure getting a lot of bullshit for his money from this GOP-E whore.
Mention rigged elections and the establishment panics.
Professional politicians just do NOT get the fact that when Trump talks about the “rigged election”, he is discussing the very facts, thoughts, feelings, and outrage that we, the voters have.
It has become very clear that elections are, indeed “rigged”. They favor the elite partyists, and have for decades. The last person to beat those odds was Reagan.
The reason why so many are outraged now is that the supposed two-party system has become two mouths singing the same song - always to the detriment of we, the people.
Lame Cherry Bump! (sometimes)
At times they come close to being amazing, at other times out there in lala land.
