Why Kasich stays in: He really thinks he could still win the nomination
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/25/16 | Dan Calabrese

And while he's probably not right, here's why he's not crazy to think that

I’ve been like a lot of other people when it comes to John Kasich, talking about how he really needs to just get out of the race already because he’s hopelessly behind (even now he’s in fourth place behind Rubio in the delegate count) and hasn’t won anywhere except his home state. In the meantime, anyone who believes as Kasich claims to that Donald Trump should not be the nominee should see that Kasich’s continued candidacy is helping Trump by preventing those who share that sentiment from coalescing around Ted Cruz.

Why would stay in when you don’t have a chance to be the nominee and you’re helping Trump?

The Cheap Labor Express has gotten the amnesty candidate they paid for in every election since the last amnesty.
Kasich thinks he is that amnesty candidate this time, probably with good reason.

Or perhaps he has been assured that he will be chosen at the Convention regardless of the primary results. He might still be delusional if he believes such a promise has any chance of being kept. Ryan is looking evermore like he is the GOPe choice to lose the election this time around.

Looks like he picked a bad week to start sniffing glue.

I can believe the GOPe would go for Kasich over Cruz.

But Kasich has won so little of the vote, that the GOPe would be just as well off to pick anyone they want.

He can’t possibly win the nomination.

On the up side, though, he may be handed the nomination by an overwhelmingly corrupt party machinery.

Not true.
He’s in because he is an empty suit bought and paid for by moneyed interests. His bloviating and temper are designed to intimidate people from asking him follow up questions and uncomfortable questions such as why an illegal Mexican cartel was not only operating in Ohio under his watch, but are most likely responsible for the genocide of 8 family members.

Or how Mr. Amnesty likes to use photos of kids going back to Mexico on porches when illegal are murdering and raping Ohioans.

At this time, Soros has purchased Kasich’s time while he continues to draw a Governor salary and benefits.

Hey I am glad you posted this. Just watched my Varney and Co. recording from earlier.

Kasich: “Trump really can’t beat Hillary Clinton. He needs to understand that. The latest poll out of New Hampshire he loses 50 to 31.

What’s the big deal? We are going to go to a convention and the delegates get to pick the person who will do the best in the fall...”

I wish I could scream at him: Yeah they have done such a good job in the past. Look at Romney, McLame, Bob Dole and heck I’d even add Bush who gave use 0bamma and his baby mama.

Trump knows, we know and KASICH knows he'll NEVER be tapped for the Veep spot.

He knows he can’t. It’s for political leverage.
