LIVE THREAD: John Kasich Speech - Suspension of Campaign - (5PM ET)

[SamAdams76]

Coming up in a few minutes. Looks like he's going to be speaking in front of a barn door.

[onyx]

Governor Kasich, who only won his home state Ohio is now suspending his camapign!

He always claimed "polls show I'm the one who beats Hillary."

Now, we'll NEVER know.

Whoa!
He just said "politicians need to ignore polls!




I hope he doesn't cry.

Good departing speech.

[MinuteGal]

Get the hook!

[PJBankard]

Too early, he mentioned it all but seconds after your post.

[CaptainK]

What was that lol ????

[MotorCityBuck]

Im spoiled now. After listening to 10 months of Trump Rallies I just can’t listen to this 25 year old GOP tripe anymore. Blah, Blah, Blah. BORING! !
Shut Up, and go away! Please Mr. Trump no Rinos anywhere around your new cabinet.

[w1andsodidwe]

He could read from the telephone book and it might sound more interesting.

Yes, I am advising Trump to take him off the VP list. Why he would bore a crowd together in no time.

He forgot to mention why he gave the speech. Or did I miss it.

[paintriot]

No mention of suspension was there?

[Eddie01]

Politicians are all talk no action.

[Cboldt]

- -He still has not said "suspending." --

It was in the penultimate sentence of the sermon.

If you are on CNN, Blitzer is playing an interview with Trump.

[SamAdams76]

That was weird. His speech came to an abrupt halt and he just walked off the stage. I don’t think he actually said he was suspending his campaign.

[lodi90]

He finally said it!

---

Then ran out of the room. Bizarre 180 from his tough talk yesterday. Somebody must have dropped the hammer on him. LOL.

[PJBankard]

See 83.

[maggief]

[hoosiermama]

He is speaking from his heart.

Very emotional. :

MR NIce Guy would be crucified if he got selected. I am glad Trump did not go after him.

[PJBankard]

He said he was suspending his campaign in passing in the last sentence of this statement. And then walked off the stage.

[advertising guy]

Saw that, he left that stage pissed

[freepersup]

Every single one of us watching and freeping, now have some degree of PTSD!

In a Howard Cossell kind of voice-

Down goes Kasich! Down goes Kasich! Down goes Kasich!

[Deo volente]

He said it right at the end, after half the audience had fallen asleep.

“...as I suspend my campaign...”

[paintriot]

I didn’t even hear it and had it on. He must have bored me to the point I tuned him out.

[lodi90]

I wondered who was keeping him in the race. He had less delegates than Rubio.

I always got the impression he was flying solo. He certainly did not help the never Trump “movement” by giving voters an option besides Cruz.
