In the contest for the Republican presidential nomination, Ohio Gov. John Kasich is 0 for everything — a string of losses that has left him trailing front-runner Donald Trump and far back in fourth place in the delegate count. Can a victory in his home state on Tuesday change all that?
The irrepressible Kasich believes it can. “I just had to be patient,” he said aboard his campaign bus en route to Cleveland on Saturday evening. He added, “I think [if] we win Tuesday, it’s a whole new ballgame.” Victory over Trump, he said, would show that “the emperor has no clothes.”
“When we beat him,” Kasich said, “the shield is broken.”

Trump noted Kasich’s support for NAFTA and the Trans-Pacific Partnership and said, “It is a disaster. It’s going to ruin your car industry – totally ruin it.” Trump noted that a Ford facility close to the rally site was shutting down and moving its operations to Mexico.
He accused Kasich of being an absentee governor while running for president. “He’s abandoned the state,” Trump said. “He lived in New Hampshire. He moved there. . . . He said he was going to win. I won in a landslide.”

“Then he and Cruz, along with Rubio combine delegates and screw the voters.”
Maybe.
by my count there’s 1313 delegates left. For Trump to win he needs to win 59% of them. He’s been winning ~39% so far.
If he only wins FL he then need 55% of the rest of the delegates.
Connie Mack (not the baseball one)
at this point I think Romney have given the 3 remaining candidate courage to stay on til the end to deny trump enough delegates to win outright even though the 3 know they could never win the delegates themselves
I have no idea why anyone would vote for him in OH, why?
If they like him as Gov then they can keep him, but to think he will become President or get the nomination is delusional.
LOL Mag.
PS Are you SURE that he was the son of a mailman? I haven’t heard him mention that in umm...the last five minutes.
Also, is it true that he turned around the whole state of Ohio and saved them gazillions of tax dollars?
Hugh Hewitts says Cruz & Kasich will be the ticket.
The guy who can’t win majority of the Texas GOP; & the guy who let the legislature leaders with a pen & a phone impose Obamacare on Ohio.
Kasich’s purpose was never to win the nomination.
Only to win Ohio and slow Trump down.
The “Penny Plan” guy?
Another moron.
Birds of a feather...
Profit?
He doesn’t think he’s going to get any other states it’s a plan to deny Trump delegates. Kasich’s home state is all that’s even remotely possible.
I’m not familiar with Ohio but don’t these people care that Kasich has no path to victory?
Nailed It !
No thanks,I have salls to clean in the barn tomorrow.I’ll see enough horse shit without going to see Romney and Kasich.
Kasich came out for an AWB.. BYE BYE
stalls.
Kasich is hoping that if he can block Trump or Cruz from getting enough delegates before the convention then he has a chance of winning in a contested convention.
The problem is that I have a better chance than Kasich of getting the nomination in a contested convention. I am pretty sure that none of Trump’s or Cruz’s pledged delegates are going to be disgusted with me.
Not only did Kasich come out for an AWB, he voted for the Bill.
Is that real?
