Is he saying what it sounds like he's saying?

[John Valentine]

He’s saying that he supports Common Core math.

[bigtoona]

Sounds like they know Romney will trigger complete hatred against the party, so they are going to pick the next most socialist candidate to run at the convention.

[DannyTN]

Yep, he’s saying he is hoping for a brokered convention and thinks he can win it.

He’ll be thinking different after he loses Ohio.

[JPJones]

“Is he saying what it sounds like he’s saying?”

No, what he’s saying is:

“We’re going to fight all the way to November and make Hillary Clinton the next president of the United States!”

[dforest]

Kasich, Romney. They say all this stuff so nonchalantly as if it ain’t no big deal if the nominee is picked by people other than the voters.

Why are we even bothering with all this primary hoopla anyway?

Get used to it folks, election process in America now has become 3rd world hellhole style. Amusing maybe, but so corrupt and laughable.

[Logical me]

Kasich has a screw loose.

[AFreeBird]

That the fix is in? The will of the people be damned?

Yep, that’s what it sounds like.

[KevinB]

I am a precinct captain and I will not freeze my as* off outside of the voting center in November in order to help get Kasich elected even in the impossible event that he is nominated.

[Pinkbell]

Screw the people, I want power. That’s what he’s saying. I can picture the establishment behind closed doors sipping champagne provided by their lobbyists and laughing at the voters. If they pull something like this, I will not vote. I’ll write in Trump.

[Lagmeister]

I thought getting more delegates was how you win. Oh, that’s right. It’s a new world. We only think our votes matter. If they really did matter they wouldn’t let us vote.

[niki]

Yes. The aim is a brokered convention. Rubio & Cruz are staying out of Ohio to give Kasich a better chance against Trump by not splitting the anti-trump vote. Kasich believes he will be anointed at the ‘broken’ convention. Lots of backroom deals going on.

[Lurkinanloomin]

The RNC/GOP must deliver an amnesty candidate.

The Cheap Labor Express paid them to make sure we cannot elect a President who will stop them.

[vbmoneyspender]

Assuming my reading is correct, according to Rule 40(b) of the Republican National Committee Rules governing the convention, only candidates who have received the majority of delegates from 8 or more states can be considered for the Presidential Nomination. So that would likely rule Kasich out as a potential nominee. And the rule would narrow the field down to either Trump or Cruz:

Each candidate for nomination for President of the United States and Vice President of the United States shall demonstrate the support of a majority of the delegates from each of eight (8) or more states, severally, prior to the presentation of the name of that candidate for nomination. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these rules or any rule of the House of Representatives, to demonstrate the support required of this paragraph a certificate evidencing the affirmative written support of the required number of permanently seated delegates from each of the eight (8) or more states shall have been submitted to the secretary of the convention not later than one (1) hour prior to the placing of the names of candidates for nomination pursuant to this rule and the established order of business.

[mabelkitty]

He absolutely is.
He is practically giddy over it, and it makes sense.
Why else would they have the convention in Cleveland?
We absolutely DO NOT have the infrastructure for this.

This needs to be spread far and wide so he gets defeated in Ohio.

[JSDude1]

This guy is delusional.

[jospehm20]

Kasich strikes me as an idiot.

[Smittie]

I think he just wants someone to bake him a cupcake...

[Kenny]

Kasich is the absolute Washington insider. Nine terms in the House and he needed cash to fund that career, from special interests. Then he went through the revolving door to Lehman Bros. where with no banking experience he landed a job as investment banker and managing director.

Kasich was asked to release tax returns for all eight years at Lehman in 2010, but he only released his 2008 return and a 2009 financial disclosure statement. Those reports showed he made $1.4 million in 2008—including $265,000 as a Fox News contributor and $590,000 (his bonus was $432,000) from Lehman.

Huge Lehman Brothers payouts report recalls Gov. Kasich's time at firm

[fkabuckeyesrule]

I would think that is true of anyone. I’m not sure how it would work. Would Cruz and Trump compete for the support of the Rubio/Kasich delegates or would delegates be released to support whoever they want.

[JimSEA]

Gov, it’s been clear for some time that Trump is going to win. If you’d have been more concerned about what was best for your country, you, Jeb, and all the marginal candidates would have dropped out leaving it to the strongest competitor to battle Trump. You and the others didn’t, enjoying you moment of fleeting fame and now we’re stuck with the Donald.

Pulling some shenanigans will only make a bad situation worse.
