I wouldnt vote for Kasich under any circumstances, but I would LIKE him better if he gave them the finger, publicly.

I thought this was coming.
The Ridge endorsement was a head-fake.
The Cheap Labor Express means to get the amnesty candidate that the RNC owes them.

They loved him when they made him get in the race to help Jeb.

The Chamber of Commerce is pulling strings around... They hope that instead of conservatives protecting each other’s flank,mthey will see a Cruz-Trump blood bath... Time to be smart people.

I think that in the big scheme of things, Kasich would have a better shot than Rubio at taking down Trump, which is the establishment objective.

Illegal immigration is a dominant theme in this election, and too many people just aren't going to overlook Rubio's checkered past.

Funny, they never told Michelle Bachmann to get out of the way. Nor, any of the others that split the conservative vote last cycle and put Romney in.

Thanks for the smile this morning.

Cruz staffer saying he can’t win either.

“The Cruz campaign has to focus on getting basic campaign techniques right,” said a Republican operative who works for the presidential campaign, who asked not to be identified. “I don’t think Cruz can win the nomination at this point. I think his campaign is done.”

Donald Trump is going to win and win big. The republican party really does not like it and wants Rubio and anyone else to cause the republicans to lose the presidency just for spite.

In all honesty, I’d be more likely to vote for Kasich than Rubio.

At least Kasich seems competent from a managerial standpoint.

Rubio is quickly revealing himself to be an empty suit. A classic example of the peter-principle.

Linda is floating a Rubio/Kasich ticket...

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/270241-graham-rubio-kasich-should-team-up

“Rubio-Kasich, Kasich-Rubio - I think those combinations, if they could consolidate and come together, would be [a] very potent ticket in the fall and maybe help us stop Trump,” Graham said on the program before also floating a potential “Rubio-Kasich-Cruz alliance.”

For the GOPe. What’s more important? Winning Florida or Winning Ohio? Because Trump’s VP will be from either one of those states.

...maybe the biggest impediment to stopping Trump right now is ... John Kasich. Think about it: If you assume that a big chunk of the Jeb Bush vote goes to Rubio, that means that Rubio can rack up delegates under the proportional allocation formulas.

But Rubio won’t be able to grow his percentages as long as Kasich is in the race and competing in Super Tuesday states like Georgia (where he campaigns today), Tennessee (where he’ll be Friday and Saturday). And with Kasich in the race, it’s possible that Trump could sweep the Super Tuesday states a week from now - he’s in striking distance in Texas, where the University of Texas/Texas Tribune online poll has him trailing Ted Cruz there by just eight points (and that poll was taken before Saturday’s South Carolina results).

If you’re the GOP establishment, the good news is the Quinnipiac poll showing Kasich losing to Trump in his home state of Ohio. The bad news: We’re just a week out from Super Tuesday, and it doesn’t look like Kasich is going anywhere anytime soon.

The arrogance of some of these people, knows no bounds.

While I continue to support Trump & Cruz (see Support For Trump & Cruz) rather than my Governor, it is hard for this Ohioan not to resort to profane vulgarities at this insult to our State.

Obviously Trump is treating Cruz & Rubio differently.

Will Trump make a deal with the GOPe to make Rubio his VP, should Trump become the nomination.

FRumpsters:

Who would you like to be Trump's VP running mate if nominated?

Has Palin's time passed?
