John Kasich apparently doesn’t like being asked why he's only won a single state in the Republican presidential primary.
On Saturday, the Ohio governor — whose lone victory was in his home state — was talking up his chances when Demetri Sevastopulo, a reporter for the Financial Times, interrupted him.

"I'm answering the question the way I want to answer it," Kasich said. "You want to answer it?"
Kasich then snatched Sevastopulo's voice recorder out of his hand and turned it toward him: "What do you think?"

Party elites are NOT the same as 'the people'.
Political parties write rules to give themselves MORE power at the expense of the people. Another hellhole tactic - common among self appointed 'elites'... It's how democrats came up with super delegates. A desire to tip the scale in favor of themselves... It's almost impossible to overcome the advantages the parties (both of 'em) have given themselves.
That's wrong.
It's a disgusting abuse of power and should be brought to the attention of the Supreme Court by groups of citizens from both parties.
His dad was a mailman. He’s a uniter, not a divider. Bake the cupcake!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks Kasich is mentally unstable and really, completely unhinged.
To be completely honest, I could care less about the voter’s will when it comes to the GOP nomination.
We are a country marked by a federal government. I 100% believe in State’s rights and that is how the process is set up. If a State wants to have a very closed system then that is their right.
I fear the ultimate consequence of people believing in the will in the will of the people over the will of the states is growth in executive branch power and a corresponding reduction in state rights.
But now that he's made me get to know him better, I don't want anything to do with him. He's got this freaker vibe that makes me uneasy.
Look, if I'm being honest, it's not like I'm the most stable, psychologically well-adjusted person either, but just listening to Kasich makes me think I've very sane with a good, solid grip on reality.
Why go through the expense of elections if elite members of the party pick the candidates? What's the purpose of the charade?
I know the answer...
Do you?
