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.

if he Kasich is the nominee it will destroy the party. at this point there are only two candidates Donald and Ted. I worry that the way either of the candidates supporters are behaving it will still tear the republican party apart.

You need take some kind of sedative or report back to where you escaped from.

I said it before but Kasich’s is just Obnoxious at this point. He is making no bones about the fact that his path to the nomination lies in screwing the will of the voters.

He has at least as much of a chance as Cruz does. Those who help him manipulate/bribe/pay the jumping delegates control the real behind the scenes deals and they do not want Cruz - they just want him to stop Trump so they can wrangle a more loyal candidate.

I think I earned my own free speech.

If your previous post was true, you have.

You are still a slimy twit and now that I know you hid out in a boat, how can you call us mud pounders cowards.

You're hundreds of feet under water jerking off with your worn out copy of Playboy, and the groundies are taking incoming, and you call us cowards?

Did Cruz ever say what the half a million he illegally sent to Carley was for? Guess his corruption is fine and he won’t do that once he is in the WH, right? What about Iowa or Colorado? Yeah, just what America needs, another corrupt politician.

Pray America wakes

At least Trump supporters are decisive. The undecided in 2012 gave us another 4 years of Barry.

actually I wanted Newt but he was out before they came to Texas, actually I think last time it was over before they came to Texas which is why they moved us up earlier.

The man is wackadoodle. If the nomination is anyone but Trum or Cruz, the race is over and Hillary or Bernie will will.

"The man is wackadoodle. If the nomination is anyone but Trum or Cruz, the race is over and Hillary or Bernie will will."

1.) He IS bat**** crazy.

2.) If it's anyone but Trump or Cruz -- AND they substitute anyone who has already been rejected by the voters during this cycle or during the last one.

But that still leaves over 100,000,000 potentially acceptable candidates.

Either he’s as insane as he is repellent, or the GOPe wants to lose to Hillary and end the Republican Party.

When Kasich was talking with Chris Matthews he said something to the effect that voters need to know their voices matter - then he turns around and wants to steal our votes.

The guy’s not thinking rationally.

Don’t feel bad. I’m a Democrat who voted for Al Gore.

Or so I’ve been told here (not by him). There’s no low they won’t go to.
