So if he met with the party insiders and he is still running, he must have gotten some encouragement.

What would be worse for the GOP, John, would be for them to nominate someone that the voters did not pick.

Hey, John, that’s why they said we had to nominate Dole. And that’s why they said we had to nominate McCain. And that’s why they said we had to nominate Romney. And that’s why they said we couldn’t nominate Reagan. Do the math, idiot!

Is Kasich crazy? WTF is he doing in the race? It just shows you how detached politicians are from the citizens of the republic. Keep talking, John.

Here is my view of Kasich:

- 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/

As far as I can tell, those are not old views or comments taken out of context; they are Kasich’s current and consistent positions. Even with the Supreme Court, I would expect his nominees to agree with his positions. I’m not sure how that is significantly different from Hillary’s positions.

Kasich is comic relief. He is in the race to try and prevent Trump from getting to 1237. But if he hadn’t been in the race Cruz might have picked up enough of the non-Trump delegates that it would still be mathematically possible for him to get a majority before the convention. A lot of people now realize that a vote for Cruz is a vote for a contested convention, this is going to cause many to rethink who they are voting for.

Kasich must have insider info because he owns stock in Diebold company, the company who make many of the e vote counting machines.

"What would be worse for the GOP, John, would be for them to nominate someone that the voters did not pick."

On the other hand, he does well with liberal Democrats. I think he's running in the wrong party.

Kasich, once he was rejected by the citizenry in every state except his own, now sells the lie that Party bosses will make better judgments than citizens.

Isn't that how we got the losing candidates, Romney, McCain, and Dole?

Now, we have to deal with the awful consequences of those 2012, 2008, and prior "Party" leadership decisions, and the stakes are higher.

Although a strong Constitutionalist would be preferable in 2016, considering the above facts, can citizen judgment that the "establishment" needs to be challenged help to right the ship?

Personally, I think Kasich has been creamed a few times in his life....

“Not that there’s anything wrong with that” as Jerry Seinfeld would say.

John Kasich would be destroyed in a general election because millions of conservatives like me would not vote for him. The first goal of true conservatives should be to destroy the GOPe. That goal is much more important than having an establishment GOP candidate elected.
