Kasich in Pennsylvania: Neither Cruz nor Trump can win in November
Washington Post ^ | 03/16/2016 | By David Weigel

VILLANOVA, Penn. — Still vibrating from his home state primary win, Gov. John Kasich (R-Ohio) told crowds in the Philadelphia suburbs that President Obama had blown his chance to get a Supreme Court nominee, and that the two remaining candidates for the Republican nomination would lose the election.

"Neither of those guys can win a general election, so maybe they're spoiling it for the Republican Party and for the conservative movement," Kasich said of Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) "It's unlikely that anybody is going to achieve enough delegates to avoid a convention, and for those who worry about a convention, it'll be right in the open. I mean, there's no closed rooms, there's nothing but total transparency . . . and you talk to people in Pennsylvania, they'll tell you, I can win a general election."

Kasich loves NAFTA, TPP, Common Core, Amnesty and Clinton’s Gun Ban, and homosexual “marriage”, but considers himself a “conservative”. No wonder the movement means nothing anymore.

I’ve now heard that neither Hillary nor Bernie nor Trump nor Cruz nor Kasich can win in November. I’m so confused.

Yes he did. Trump or Cruz need to use that in a TV ad.

He’s going to push to redefine “conservative”.
Rubio tried talking about “conservative values” and his actions were anything but conservative.

Has he been drinking water from Flint? There is something major wrong with him.

As ranking member of the Budget Committee, Kasich proposed his own health care reform plan as a rival to the Clinton health care plan of 1993 championed by First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, but more market-based.[43] As Time magazine wrote, “The Kasich plan would have covered all Americans by 2005, using a form of an individual mandate that would have required employees to purchase insurance through their employers. (The mandate was an idea initially supported by conservative groups like the Heritage Foundation.)”

I’m convinced that he and the rest of the GOPe just want Hillary to win so they can continue with the rape of the USA.

Virginia came 4th

North Carolina came in third 12%

Florida came in 4th

Trust John Hillary might not even campaign if you were the nominee

You lose those States how can you win?

He needs to go hang out with Boner, and have a scotch or four. They can work on their tans and cry about the good old days when they screwed the people over with impunity.

Pretty much. I voted for Ryan on the Romney ticket to eject Obama, but this is different.

In his delusional mind, he will be elected as nominee at a brokered convention. I saw him gleefully talking about it, saying that it is real politics. What happened to the will of the people? I know we are not a democracy, but the way our system is, vote do count.

He wins one state, his home state, so now he is an expert on what it takes to win elections. There is no reason for Kasich to be in the conversation or the race. If he had any integrity, he would drop out.

I wonder if they are throwing these names to the wind to see how much interest people have. Honestly, I hope people leave the R party in droves after this election.
