An ally of former Republican presidential candidate John Kasich has a message for the Ohio governor’s supporters: It’s time to convince Kasich to offer himself as an alternative to Donald Trump at next week’s Republican National Convention.
According to Cleveland.com, in an email sent Sunday night, former New Hampshire Sen. Gordon Humphrey (R) told Kasich supporters, “John needs encouragement to make the move. Please email John and offer him your encouragement and continued backing. … The way is clear for John. It’s not going to get better than this, but time is of the essence. Please take a moment to encourage him right now.”
Humphrey “ruled out” former Massachusetts Gov. and 2012 GOP standard-bearer Mitt Romney in his email. He also dismissed two of Kasich’s Republican primary rivals — Sens. Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Ted Cruz (Texas) — as the right alternative to Trump, Cleveland.com reported. He argued that Rubio isn’t an option since the Florida senator is in the midst of a re-election bid and alleged that Cruz “has made a pact” with Trump, as evidenced by Texas senator’s agreeing to speak at the convention.
Kasich is not currently scheduled to speak at the convention, although it will take place in his state, and he has refused to endorse Trump — but has said that he doesn’t plan to interfere with the convention.
Humphrey told Cleveland.com that his email was a “private communication from me in my individual capacity” and was not authorized by Kasich. The email included a link to an op-ed by the Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol, a leader of the “Never Trump” effort, which floated Kasich as a viable alternative to Trump.
...zzzzzzzzzzzzz....
I know Gordon. I worked for him. Another POS.
” Please email John and offer him your” wishes that he live out his natural life
If Kasich tried that I think Trump’s PRIVATE guard should carry John off the stage and into a pit of tar and feathers.
Who the HELL do these punks think they are?
The Incredible Shrinking Governor.
The way is clear for John Kasuck to do what?
Be a Designated Loser?
Wilt Romney, a bonified Loser is ready to step in.
...and lose for us. Soros tentacles run deep.
I was for Trump from the beginning, and I’ll be there for...the real beginning?
“The way is clear”?
Kaisch won only one state.
These people don’t just have brain farts, they have fart brains.
Why do the Republican elites insist using both hands to give away this election???
Stepping up to the plate is John Kasich ... he’s batting 0.020 this season but he is due to really break out and have a yuge year ...
Clear to make Reagan v. Mondale look close, that's what.
Kasich == “Jag-off.”
Kasich isn’t a viable alternative to navel lint.
That’s hilarious.
Had to pass it around to my wife and daughter. Daughter informs me that’s Fruit Ninja.
Will you Real Americans in Ohio get rid of Kasich?
