I’m not going to diss Kasich, even though I would never vote for the guy.
The challenge to his signatures came from the Republican Establishment in this state.
A Rubio supporter filed the challenge and with Senator Pat Toomey in the tank for Marco, its obvious that the GOPe will try to rig this state for Rubio in the primary on April 26th.
The GOPe already has the separate delegate election with all district delegate candidates listed uncommitted and cronies running with name recognition in the districts.
Trump or Cruz can only get 14 delegates bound to them on a first ballot from a popular vote win.
54 other delegates are picked in the tricky election in the 18 congressional districts with all candidates listed by name but no presidential candidates name is attached to them.
The campaigns will have to have 18 separate campaigns in the congressional districts to let people know the three names they need to vote in for delegate.
Based on the lists of candidates I’ve read I figure Trump has the biggest slate running in the districts, although I can pick through the names to know who his supporters are.
I’ll diss Kasich. He’s a career politician, 9 terms in the House, thru the revolving door to Lehman where he served as investment banker and managing director. They paid him $600k in 2008 alone. Lehman had board access and served as key member on the ‘deal’ team. From Lehman to Governor and who’s paying for all those elected offices.
But his biggest offense is probably NAFTA and his support now for TPP. These politicians are killing us or more accurately, these donors are killing us. The only cure is to get them out of the system.
Not a fan of Kasick at all, but I think just running should get you on the ballot. Let the voters decide on primary day. I think collecting signatures is a waste of time and money. Also very old way of thinking.
Such a rigged system to choose our leader. I hate both parties - nothing but corrupt.
