That.... Was beautiful!
Thank you!
Soros, that NAZI luvin JOOOO money changer.
Article title incorrectly presupposes that Kasich is capable of thought.
Nobody has stated that this is incorrect since it's been mentioned.
Buckeyes do peculiar things; it’s part of being a Buckeye! I know he’s really a Keystoner though.
Follow the $$$$...
We’re not supposed to wish people dead.
This is too bad in this case.
What he is doing is obvious. Hoping Trump does not get required delegates on first ballot, watches Trump and Cruz death match for several rounds, then becomes the compromise choice.
Except for the number of votes, Cruz is in a very similar situation - can’t win w/o stopping Trump and then relying on a toss of the dice - dice that are being rigged by the GOPe and RNC and other entrenched folks to try to ensure neither Trump or Cruz make the ballot - Resurging Rubio anyone?
Someday; another candidate may NEED those 143 very badly.
THAT's what he is doing!
Highly unlikely IMHO.
Tipping the balance one way or the other for whatever has been promised him by either camp is the way I see it.
I addressed the question of what he is tryng to do.
Under the current rules, cannot only Trump and Cruz even be considered?
A Trump-Cruz ticket should have been unofficially agreed upon after the SC primary and announced after Super Tuesday. Now that can never happen.
Once again, people are generally thinking short term instant gratification. Those who are most willing to delay gratification are usually the most successful in any endeavor.
National convention delegates are the tip of the iceberg. Placing ‘your people’ in visible positions, and on various committees that determine the future of the party, lays the groundwork for future campaigns, by the candidate himself or by someone he would like to influence, or even just keeps the spotlight on a few major issues over an extended period of time.
He’s running a campaign. If you don’t want to vote for him, don’t vote for him. If people want to vote for him, even if he can’t win, let them.
It’s going to be eight years of Hillary, regardless
The personal war has caused so much damage.
