Kasich: 'I am going to leave Cleveland as the nominee’
The Hill ^ | 4/14/16 | Mark Hensch

Posted on 04/15/2016 1:59:21 AM PDT by markomalley

Gov. John Kasich (R-Ohio) on Thursday said that he would become the GOP presidential nominee after a contested Republican National Convention.

“I am going to leave Cleveland as the nominee,” he said during the annual New York State GOP gala in New York City.

“Whether you believe it or not, it’s going to happen,” Kasich added. "We are going to go to a convention. This is not about the nomination. This is about who can win the White House after defeating Hillary Clinton.” Kasich said that either Clinton or Bernie Sanders would escalate the national debt if elected president.

“We have $19 trillion in debt,” he said. "When the debt goes up, your opportunities to get a job go down. By the time they’re done giving away all the free stuff, the debt will be up to $30 trillion and no one will be able to get a job. This is why we have to stop them.”

Kasich added that GOP voters should reject Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, because they are too unlikable.

“Do you know what will happen if we nominate people who have high negatives and can’t beat Hillary?” he asked. "There’s a very good chance your Senate majority leader becomes your Senate minority leader.

“We risk losing everything from the White House to the state house to the court house if we don’t promote a positive, uplifting message. It’s not pie in the sky," he said.

The Uniparty political beast has been entrenching itself a long time. There’s no telling what connections they have.

I remember back when Congress started bringing in famous people to “testify” and I thought, what has happened to the U.S. Government? It appeared to be little more than People Magazine, at least in Congress, that is.

LOL

I don't feel bad.

I've been called much worse. Being called a honkie and cracker and white devil doesn't bother me, either.

I am secure in knowing myself and my own manhood, so "leftist" isn't a pejorative that leaves a sting.

I have known leftists. They are, by and large, paper tigers. They are brave in a mob and cowards by themselves. Their visions of grandeur are realized only when they have managed to secure repressive power and are able to subjugate an unarmed and dissolute mass of people. In that they have something in common with the old plantation slavers. They will compensate for their own severe inadequacies by lording over a helpless population. When confronted by an enraged adversary, no matter its size, they become scared and either lash out wildly or run for the hills.

The poster wouldn't know a leftist if the leftist came up and introduced himself, with fliers and a lifesize cutout of Marx, Mao or Lenin.

Uplifting Cruz is a Herculean task. It is much easier to bash Trump.

It's very hard to go to battle unarmed and without a plan.

Yeah, I’ve seen him pop into threads and throw a Trump bash right after that.

I wasn’t surprised.

I’ll be glad when we get through the next two Tuesdays. I predict you will see some meltdowns.

I would take Ksick over Trump any day of the week

So, you are an admitted leftist.

I suspect what you were undecided about, in 2012, is whether to vote for Obama for your second time.

Should Trump get his 1200+, I expect Cruz acolytes to throw a fit, scream and stamp their feet, vow to bolt the party, become belligerent, make threats, promise to stay home, curse anyone who supports Trump, blame and malign and act like generally psychotic malcontents.

They may even kick the dog, scream at their kids and beat their wives or husbands. I'd expect such behavior from a demoncrat. Being slaves to their own instability, they may not have any other options.

I tried the interactive thing at

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/election-2016/can-you-get-trump-to-1237/

I think even 1300 or close to it is still possible.

Well, I can have wishful thinking, LOL.

If things remain as they have been, Trump will still be several hundred delegates ahead after Tuesday passes the next two times. And heads will explode. Math is hard.

Cruz believes his own hype, and the hype of another unstable buffoon in Beck....and yet another person, in the name of his pappy...who, by the way, was a Castroite back in Cuba. The hype being that it is destiny for him to “rule” America. Disturbing stuff.

It’s even more disturbing when one adds in the heresy of “the white horse prophecy”. Believed by my friend of the RLDS, oops “Community of Christ”. He just doesn’t understand.

The Antichrist is depicted on a white horse in Revelation 6:2, as a false substitute for Christ in Revelation 19.

Just as the Bible predicts. Let no man deceive you; the Antichrist comes first. Yep.

Speaking of creepy, let’s go back to Obama’s hilarious April Fool’s “joke” from last year:

Candor7 has already seen this thing. Yikes.

BTW, I believe the Antichrist arises out of Europe. Nonetheless, freaky stuff.
