Rubio's campaign tells Ohio supporters to vote for Kasich
Politico ^

Posted on 03/11/2016 8:43:24 AM PST by springwater13

Marco Rubio’s campaign says supporters of the Florida senator should back John Kasich in Ohio on Tuesday if they want to stop Donald Trump.

“If you are a Republican primary voter in Ohio and you want to defeat Donald Trump, your best chance in Ohio is John Kasich,” Alex Conant, Rubio’s communications director, told CNN.

“The same is true here in Florida,” Conant said, emphasizing that Rubio is the candidate best positioned to beat the real-estate mogul in the state’s primary Tuesday for its 99 winner-take-all delegates.

“Yes, my answer is John Kasich is the one candidate in Ohio that can beat Donald Trump,” Conant said when pressed on whether he was asking Rubio supporters to back Kasich in the governor’s state. “That’s stating the obvious.”

Will Kasich reciprocate with his Florida voters for little marco?

“I’d rather “magic underwear” than underwear full of crap like Trump.”

Yes we are well aware of some of you so-called “true conservatives” newly found submission to the Gope.

You aren’t impressing anyone by acting like it is anything but that.

-- has Rubio officially dropped out? --

No. He's staying in on a hope and prayer that he takes FL, but since FL and OH races are on the same day, he wants Ohio voters to reject him (to better Kasich's chances).

It's Romney's "vote for the best chance to beat Trump in each state" strategy in action. In other words, the GOPe is entirely in negative mode, it doesn't support ANY individual candidate, but all the losers are going to gang up the leader in an effort to prevent the leader from taking a majority of delegates.

Nothing more than the GOP fighting unfairly, but that is to be expected.

Dr. Carson was quite clear that what pushed him on to the Trump Train was this Never Trump nonsense. They are selfishly ringing bells that can’t be unrung.

What is truly amazing and very revealing is that Republicans have never campaigned this hard against a Democrat, ever. Never ever!

The Republican Party leadership has been infiltrated by the Democrats and is being used to keep us marginalized and confused. After all, we’ve seen leftists infiltrate all of the major institutions of our country from the media, education, government, well-funded philanthropies - why wouldn’t they do the same to the Republican Party?

If you are a Republican primary voter in Ohio and you want to defeat Donald Trump...

What a disgusting pig Rubio is. Lets not defeat Hillary, lets not win the Presidency, no, lets beat Donald Trump. I hope, as polls indicate, that Trump mops the floor with these public trough leeches.

If Trump called him and offered Lil’ Marco some kind of cushy cabinet or agency gig, Rubio would probably turn like a snake and be Trump's biggest advocate by this time tomorrow.
