These two statements are not the same:
“I would like Kasich to get out of the race”
and
“Kasich should get out of the race”
It would be a good thing for my guy, Ted Cruz, if Kasich got out of the race. I really wish he would. But all of this whining about how he has to get out because he is mathematically eliminated is just silly wishcasting.
It is still a mostly free country. If Kasich wants to stay in it, he should be free to stay in it. Cruz just has to figure out a way to win anyway.
Jeb Bush dropped out because he saw he was rejected and could not win.
Now, we have Kasich, who has only won one State, hanging around as if he is a legitimate candidate, which he isn't.
If all nominations were held like this one, it will always end up at the convention, with the Party bosses deciding who is going to be the candidate, not the voters.
This is now what the GOPe wants since they see their candidates have been totally rejected by the grassroots.
As the campaign season moves on, there should be only two candidates left to see who the voter's truly want, not one whose only purpose is to draw votes away from the frontrunner so he can't get the majority of delegates.
This goes against the spirit of primaries and will result in all future nominations either farces, with the voters not voting, or back in the convention so the elites can choose their candidate.
