How the GOP is courting John Kasich
cnn ^

Posted on 07/13/2016 7:41:12 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Cleveland (CNN)John Kasich may be the most intensely courted man in the Buckeye State.

With just seven days until the GOP convention, the quest to convince Kasich to back Donald Trump -- or even participate in the convention he campaigned to bring to Cleveland -- has been quiet but feverish. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus has pressed Kasich allies, even promising that donors will spring to aid Kasich's future endeavors if he cooperates now. Trump's top aide, Paul Manafort, has touted their increasingly professional campaign operation in the hopes of winning over the Ohio governor. Even vice presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich is joining the mix, lobbing a last minute plea to Kasich's team to get the governor to back Trump. "The convention is a natural showcase for Republicans uniting behind the Trump campaign," said Ed Brookover, a Trump adviser. "The RNC and the campaign have been working very hard at bringing the forces together and showing that we're united in defeating Hillary Clinton."

It is possible John Kasich is a bigger phony than Gary Condit, but maybe not.

Kasich was unavailable for comment as he was, once again, filling his pie-hole.

Kasich is a POS for doing this. If he comes to his senses, then I will change my mind.

Kasich took a pledge to support the nominee. So far he's just another GOPe, liar, crook and butt rodent.

That and he could make a pig blush when he eats.

Kasuck, along with Yeb! and the rest of the Cheap Labor Express stooges are still trying to figure out a way to screw the citizens out of the opportunity to stop the illegal alien inundation.

Why in the World would Kasich even consider warming up to Mr Trump when he is actively seeking the VP spot on Hillary’s campaign???

They do understand ..The RNC, (RINO central) is running the convention...not Trump...

I'm expecting some RINO's to show up...!!!

As a side note, I sort of find it amazing that some Trump supporters still think Trump is an island unto himself and will not need the RINO's in Congress to help him get his agenda though...

Trump will need to work with them and versa versa...

Separation of powers is an important part of the way we govern...

Self-love is blind. KASICH is all about KASICH.

Kasich is pulling a Cruz and hoping Trump loses so he can run in 2020. Totally delusional.

Don’t need Kasich. Need Ohio. There is a connection.

I’ve got a different take on this. Kasich is the governor of the host state. It should be part of his official duties to greet the convention on behalf of the state. The same would be true if the Democrat convention was in Ohio. After the opening greetings, he can go away if he wants to pout.

The guy is a dinosaur and he just doesn’t get it! He has the charisma of a wet rag and would have fared no better than Romney or McCain in the general election (probably worse!) The old GOPe guard is without a single viable presidential candidate and the remainder of those in congress are lacking true leadership and vision. None of them get it really. The reason they are so furious with Trump is that he exposed them (ALL) for the sorry lot they have become and while he was doing it he was kicking their cans up and down the street!

“That and he could make a pig blush when he eats.”

After being reminded not to eat pizza with a fork during photo ops, Kasich overcompensated wildly.

Anyway, he’ll be in the neighborhood & might as well drop in & lobby Trump for a cabinet post.
