Agreed. Kasich is not “broadly if imperfectly acceptable to both Party elites and movement conservatives”.

- Kasich voted for the “Assault” Weapons Ban. https://grabien.com/file.php?id=53463 and as of last year did not regret that vote

- Kasich supported and implemented Obamacare’s Medicare expansion http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/john-kasich-bible-medicaid_us_56140a54e4b022a4ce5fb1e3

- Kasich supports Amnesty for illegals. http://www.ontheissues.org/John_Kasich.htm

- Kasich dismissively said Christian bakers should “bake the cupcake” and participate in a gay parody of the sacrament of marriage, even if it violates their religious beliefs. https://www.frcaction.org/updatearticle/20160225/kasich-pushes

- Kasich supports Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-kasich-id-consider-nominating-merrick-garland-supreme-court-election-2016/

Which is why Trump and Cruz should agree to maintain rule 40, the requirement that ANY nominee must have won at least 8 states.

According to the story which was on radio he is firing all of them after the primary. This was not imaginary. This was reported by people inside his campaign who were amazed that this was happening. This does not lead to ‘fluffing’ but no fluffing at all and no local ground game - zero.

Wish I could point to a written account but while there may have been one, I did not stay tuned long - was in traffic at the time.

Ted Cruz....a guy who holds the Bible in one and the Constitution in the other! But reality, has no real accomplishments in life except for being number one customer for the DC Madam.

All of which "them?" Once the election is over, the get out the vote apparatus should be fired. And the general tenor of news reports has been that Trump had ZERO organization attentive to the needs of delegates, and if he doesn;t have that sort of organization, it's nonsense to says he's fired the people who are in it.

-- and no local ground game - zero. --

And he fired all zero of them! Heaven forfend!!!

Have it your way - just reporting the new here ... sorry it isn’t pro-DJT, but there you have it - like it or not.

However, with all of the pissed off voters, he doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of winning the presidency. I’m done voting for RINOs. Most of my friends are the same way.

Trump about to have his best month yet. If you think March 15th was pathetic for Cruz, you haven’t seen anything yet. His numerous third paces in the south will look good after a month in the northeast. Can’t wait!

Because Trump is only in it for attention. Why should he continue to pay for those offices?

After Trump bows out, then the GOP (possibly with Trump) can pick who they want to run in November.

The only good thing about that is Trump and the GOP has already assured that no GOP candidate can win in November. In which case, it's better that the RINOs once again take credit for losing. If Cruz lost in November, we would forever hear about how Cruz proves a conservative candidate can' win.

I’m going to throw one out there and say that Kasich would put American interests ahead of lining the coffers of a family foundation....

My point is that the report doesn't make sense. If he wasn't wooing delegates, then he has no "delegate wooing operation" to fire, and firing the get out the vote apparatus doesn't affect any woo the delegates operation.

Kasich would lose Ohio in the General. The Public Employee Unions would see to it.

It would not surprise me if the Republican Party did give him the nomination. I am still going to write Trump’s name in. The Democrats and Democrat Lites, a/k/a Republicans can fight it out among themselves after that.

I’ve said it before and I’ll keep repeating it: THE ESTABLISHMENT HAS ALREADY WON. THEY SET THE TRAP AND WE TOOK THE BAIT.

What happened, you ask? In hindsight, it is very clear:
1. Set the agenda - open borders, cheap labor, free trade, etc.;
2. Pit the candidates against each other, dividing those who oppose the agenda into warring camps;
3. Support a candidate who will advance the agenda, shifting as needed;
4. Vilify the leader(s) and get a brokered convention;
5. Nominate whoever the Establishment wants. Winning is immaterial; the agenda is what is important.

Bottom line is the Establishment has split the Conservative/outsider/anti-agenda voters never to speak to each other ever and set us up to blame when their candidate loses. If, by some miracle, their candidate wins, then they can punish the Conservative/outsider/anti-agenda voters.

Well it does fit the standard DJT pattern - make a deal, collect the profits, move on to the next deal. Setting the GOP up for another loss as you said.

While everyone here, Trumpeters & Cruzers alike, continue their rants against each other, there still is not a single poll showing either beating Hillary or Bernie & losing by a wide margin. You’d think there would be several showing them winning but nope.

John Kasich, former congressman with live-in male boyfriend, having a social dinner at least once a week with queers, while living the ‘straight legitimate lifestyle’ with wife and kids.

Second Amendment hating.

I hope he gets something too large for his esophagus stuck there!

Lol. I see how you would say that. I’d say the same if trump were ever in trouble throughout this primary. Luckily I haven’t had to worry about that at all.
