Why Kasich Should Stay in The Race: Ohio...Blue Collars..California...& Canadian Cruz's Delegates...

I like Kasich. He's been an excellent Governor. He's done unbelievable things in Ohio. He really has turned that state around. I could support him if he were the Nominee. But i think Cruz is more of a threat to Trump. I'm fine with all three. Gotta go with em over Hillary Clnton.

Cruz possesses a Canadian birth certificate. And before you say "so what?"..understand that he could just as easily, for the purposes of the lawsuits ALREADY PENDING AGAINST HIM TO REMOVE HIM FROM THE RACE/POTUS have a Russian or N. Korean or Chinese or Iranian birth certificate. I know Canada is our little buddy to the north, but the 14th Amendment prohibits playing favorites due to "country of origin". So if Cruz sets a precedent, then our country's most powerful leader may be a Chinese national some day.

Surely you could see a bit of a snag in that situation? Cruz will have to surrender his delegates. The next logical choice for "anyone but Trump" voters is not Jr. Senator Playing-Hookie Boy-Rubio either. It's the adult in the room: John Kasich, seasoned Governor of Ohio who has been showing up for his job every day since he was elected.

The US Supreme Court, when this Cruz-challenge is fast-tracked to it and it is compelled to hear it before the election (or worse, after) will find against Cruz and he will summarily be removed, along with any other delegates he garners in the meantime under what now he must be aware of is fraudulent means (donors, you listening?) from the Presidential Race. You think you've seen chaos thusfar, just wait until that happens. This brokered-convention Carl Rove/Dick Cheney solution will be the final nail in the GOP brand coffin.

Better to get behind the adult in the room NOW (even if and obviously that the establishment bristles at the idea of Kasich's more common sense conservativism) and actually gain Trump's flock legitimately instead of risking it all on "double or nothing" playing craps at the RNC convention...so that the Cheney/Rove fantasyland perversion of "conservativism" (blood for oil/ turning a blind eye to gay marriage for Cheney's daughter...etc. etc. etc.) can take the GOP to the gallows for good with voters.

Kasich does have an impressive resume. I have to give him props on that. But as we know, an impressive resume often means nothing in Presidential races. However, if he is the Nominee, i will have no problem supporting him.
Being a career politician is never a "impressive" resume, it just means someone is a lying thieving kiss ass, suck ass progressive...

In most cases you're right. But Kasich really has turned Ohio around. He's fulfilled his promises and more. He balanced the budget and cut taxes. I gotta give the man props.

Kasich is also the only person in the mix who has actually balanced a federal budget. You would think that people who pretend to be conservatives would care about something like that. Unfortunately, most of those people aren't true conservatives. They just don't like paying their bills. There's a huge difference.

I would vote for Kasich in a hot second. He isn't a shrill dimwit so that counts against him. I'll be pulling the lever for Gary Johnson again.

Oh yeah, he has the best resume by far. Better than all the candidates left running in both Parties. But is that enough to beat Hillary Clinton? I have to say no.

You have to say "no" but fortunately we have polling that more accurately depicts the truth:
In a hypothetical contest for the presidency, a new national poll finds that Ohio Gov. John Kasich would be the most likely Republican candidate to beat Democrat Hillary Clinton....The poll’s hypothetical contests put Kasich over Clinton 49 to 38 percent; and Rubio over Clinton 48 to 42 percent. The contests with Ted Cruz and Trump would be much closer — Cruz led 45 percent to Clinton’s 44 percent, and Trump led 45 percent to Clinton’s 43 percent. New poll shows Ohio Gov. John Kasich most likely Republican to beat Hillary Clinton

Kasich sits around 10 points ahead of Hillary in a general election result..the others less than that. Trump is in the category worst of all. Cruz is a Canadian...and don't think that ain't getting brought up by HillBilly every debate she might have with him. Rube-io is an establishment puppet...Hillary will glean votes by simply saying that to Trump's erstwhile followers over and over like hypnosis (to which they seem very susceptible to...obviously..) "he's establishment..he'll sell out your jobs like all the others..."

And Trump? Well look for him to be involuntarily strapped in a tight white suit as his performance in the primaries keeps slipping and slipping and slipping. He will be foaming at the mouth and even his most ardent pie-eyed devotees will begin to wake up and sense the danger.

Who is left is Kasich. Hillary can't attack his foreign policy experience. Hillary can't slight his foxhole performance as a governor, creating jobs where there was a crisis in Ohio...and balancing that against environmental concerns.

In fact, Kasich is Hillary, minus the scandals and adding in a more devoted stance towards conservative principles. If he could add a bit more emphasis to how hard he will fight for traditional marriage restoration of the decision to the states, he would absorb quite a few left of center in Hillary's camp who privately believe all children should have both a mother and father...

Of course, Kasich with a conservative sweep in the Senate, preserving more conservative House would be the safety net for the far right freaking out about a Kasich POTUS. A president can't legislate anyway.

Why don't he just run as a Democrat? obviously that is what he is. He has nothing in common with conservatives.

Go back and read post #54 troll person. Or are you just going to repeat your mantra "he's a leftie!" "he's a leftie!" "he's a leftie!" and hope idiots like yourself become hypnotized despite the facts presented to you?
The "r" in front of his name means nothing, he is a career politician that is all that needs to be said. His true colors would come out if he were to take office... They can never be trusted. LOL

What I find funny is that Kasich is far more Conservative than Trump.

But......Trump is getting the numbers.

Cruz and Rubio are more conservative than Trump- and Trump is getting the numbers.

Remember how Conservatives kept saying that the problem has been they haven't had Conservative enough candidates?

Today's GOP apparently doesn't want a Conservative candidate.
The GOP can not win with a career politician as their candidate ... That simple

I don't think the GOP can with with any candidate.

Apparently now the GOP thinks what they need is a moderate RINO- who has never run a government before.

Might as well talk about how George Clooney could beat Hillary in a general election.

That is as likely as Kasich being the GOP candidate.

Silhouette- do you think that Kasich will win Ohio?

Want to take a beat? Because I am betting Trump will beat Kasich in Ohio.

Looks more and more like Trump every time you post it.
 
Cruz is not electable. He is robotic. Extreme and kooky.

True enough. But he's most likely eligible to be president. Capable of another story entirely.
And yet the least likely to beat Hillary in the general election (Kasich the most likely). So, you can see why Skylar is smoothing over the spin in favor of a Cruz nomination...

Kasich lacks the ability to beat Hillary in the general election as he lacks the ability to convince a sufficient number of republicans to nominate him.

Kasich hasn't won a single state. He currently has 37 delegates, averaging about 2 delegates per state. He needs 1585. There are only 30 states left.

Feel free to ignore math. Like most of your nonsense, it won't matter.

We'll talk again after the Ohio primary and others in that region. And after California's 172 delegates.. Kasich should have some of his people making traditional marriage ads en espanol and run them in a few test states and poll the Hispanics before and after...like Cruz did with the evangelical vote in SC at the last minute. Dropped Trump 10 points overnight with the "Dump Trump" traditional marriage ad..

Actually, it's 1200 something. You're right, that in order to get to the G.E. you have to be nominated. But if Kasich were to pull off that feat, he would handily defeat Clinton.
 
And that ^^ ladies and gentlemen is what the goal is for the RNC.

Sil....there's no conspiracy by the RNC against Kasich. The man's essentially irrelevant save for his ability to *possibly* force a brokered convention. Its the only reason he's still in the race.

Its a two man race between Trump and Cruz.
