Former Republican presidential candidate and Ohio Gov. John Kasich is hitting back against the claim that the election is “rigged” -- an allegation that GOP nominee Donald Trump has repeatedly made in recent days.
When asked in an interview with “CBS This Morning” early Wednesday whether he believed Trump’s assertion of a cooked election was correct, Kasich replied with an emphatic “no.”
“Look, to say that elections are rigged and all these votes are stolen -- that’s like saying we never landed on the moon, frankly,” said Kasich. “That’s how silly it is.”
The Ohio governor further criticized Trump’s position for sowing paranoia about the integrity of democratic institutions.
“I don’t think it’s good for our country, for our democracy, and I don’t believe we have any massive fraud,” Kasich said. “We don’t have that. That’s just a silly argument.”
“The problem is it does create doubt in people’s minds and I worry about 25 percent of Americans who may say when the election’s over that it was stolen,” he added. “That is a big, fat joke.”
Kasich joins the growing chorus of voices blasting Trump’s unfounded claims -- a group that includes House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican.

Google: Ohio election official convicted
And those are just the ones sloppy enough to be caught.
96% of the media donate to Clinton. I wish they had said, ‘excluding fox’, but they didn’t.
I wish they’d said, ‘excluding talk radio’.....hmmmm...maybe I was supposed to assume that.
This coming from a douche bag who was pushing dope in Congress and hanging out with other scurrilous people.
The man was a nobody in the primaries and that has not changed.
Leave it to SeeBS to use him as a go to guy for “facts”.
Kasich, more and more, reminds me of School Administrators, whose first priority is to keep the parents in the dark as to whatever bad happens in a particular school.
Soros agent bump for later.....
I tweeted her that Kasick is bought and paid for with Soros money to badmouth Trump. Maybe others would like to join me and and Freep her twitter???
Why did Debbie Wasserman Schultz resign as head of the DNC? Because she got caught rigging the the primary election for Hillary.
Now Kasich can go back to stuffing his face.
I do not want to come across as arrogant; but based on 60+ years of fighting for traditional American values, including hours of using live TV to advantage, I want to share some experience driven suggestions, both for our candidate, and all of us who will be actively promoting a Trump victory in just 20 days.
While speaking in anger can sometimes help rally those who share your beliefs and priorities, it is not the most effective way to convert those who dissent from our purpose. When there is a real problem to be addressed, it is almost always better to speak in sorrow than in anger.
In the present ideological conflict, there is great reason for sorrow. We need to interject, in every possible exchange, those contemporary phenomena that are not only unfortunate from our stand point; but which are likely to be understood as sad by anyone listening to us.
Putting this understanding to work in a situation such as tonight's Presidential debate; Trump needs to intertwine his response to essential policy issues, by sadly lamenting the background social climate, which certainly impacts all aspects of contemporary American life, including the problem reflected in the issue. For example:
The decline in pride in heritage, openly encouraged by Obama's repeated apologies to others for America's traditions & achievement--leading to Americans kneeling through the Star Spangled Banner;--his & Mrs. Clinton's siding with Soros financed thugs against the Police--leading to the cold blooded assassination of American cops;--their refusal to protect the border, leading to job losses among rooted Americans, brutal crimes against American women, and the despicable riots in California, where aliens who do not share our values, or honor our heritage, intimidate local officials into not celebrating the achievements of the Founding Fathers and their posterity.
It was only last week, when anti-American culturalists advocated not celebrating Columbus Day! The Obama/Clinton cabal seem intent on denying that our values & achievements, under uniquely American cultural values, grew directly out of the experience driven values of particular European settlers. That is fact. It takes nothing away from the achievements or values of any other people; but it is our fact, and we are entitled to honor that fact and the rich cultural heritage it reflects.
To the extent that the Obama/Clinton cabal would deny us pride in our history, they are truly bigoted enemies. But we do best, again, when we lament the success of our enemies, as we explain, again quietly and sadly, how totally despicable is this ongoing attack, coming indeed from those who have benefited so much, while gaming our system.
Some may think that this approach is going soft. It is precisely the opposite. In place of venting our wrath at the Obama/Clinton betrayal, we begin to instill wrath in some of those who otherwise would simply go along with the enemy, "to get along."
There is nothing the least bit new in these tactics. Anyone familiar with Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar," is quite familiar with the technique. It worked in the play because it reflects a true understanding of the psychological factors involved.

Every time I think Kasich has finally gone to well-deserved oblivion he resurfaces with new asinine statements. Why does he get any press? Okay he was. Governor but other than Ohio he got what, one hundred votes? And his father was a mailman.
More proof Kasich is part of the problem. He knows it is rigged.
You mean the same John Kasuck who’s on the Soros payroll - that one?
“...that they put a man on the moon. All of the reporting that the government ...”
I thought this strange too. It is like comparing it to JFK conspiracy.......which as time goes, is becoming just that!!!
(i.e. more FOIA docs get released)
But the Russians are “interfering” with our election. Ok.
John Kasich, never heard of her.
Caught those Pike County mass murderers yet, Gov...?
I wonder what Soros is paying him?
He got himself some of that Soros money!
Today’s FR is stating that a Soros directed company is supplying the voting machines for most of the key states in this election. Lou Dobbs last night said there are 18 million illegal voters voting in this election (4 million of the 18 millions are dead). Trump is right, it’s rigged, and there has been a video shown with a top Dem. admitting it has been rigged for the last 50 years. If Hillary Clinton wins I suspect there may be strife. If Trump wins I suspect there may be strife. What have we let happen to our America.
Because Kasich is on the team the rigging is being done in favor of.
