Rubio's campaign tells Ohio supporters to vote for Kasich
Politico ^

Posted on 03/11/2016 8:43:24 AM PST by springwater13

Marco Rubio’s campaign says supporters of the Florida senator should back John Kasich in Ohio on Tuesday if they want to stop Donald Trump.

“If you are a Republican primary voter in Ohio and you want to defeat Donald Trump, your best chance in Ohio is John Kasich,” Alex Conant, Rubio’s communications director, told CNN.

“The same is true here in Florida,” Conant said, emphasizing that Rubio is the candidate best positioned to beat the real-estate mogul in the state’s primary Tuesday for its 99 winner-take-all delegates.

“Yes, my answer is John Kasich is the one candidate in Ohio that can beat Donald Trump,” Conant said when pressed on whether he was asking Rubio supporters to back Kasich in the governor’s state. “That’s stating the obvious.”

He does NOT support affirmative action. He just got beat up in the press because he said that he WOULDN’T attempt to have as many women in his cabinet as men. He insisted on getting the best PEOPLE for the job.

If they succeed in ‘stopping Trump,” it will be the end of the Republican Party. Don’t Jeb and the rest of his ashaoles know that?

“and Cruz is the designated beneficiary of it.”
_______________________________

The only way Cruz will benefit is if Lilltle Marco and Mailbags Johnny move aside and let him compete head to head against Trump. Sure Cruz wants to beat Trump, but he’s the only one besting him with any consistency and is in 2nd place. By plotting the vote this way, Rubio and Kasich are not in league with Cruz, rather they are trying to deny both Trump & Cruz...no 1,237...then the RNC decides! Welcome President Clinton!

Your graphic is so well done and it makes me chuckle every time since it is so true. You deserve some sort of award.

The UniParty is now in full panic mode that we now just may get a real American in the Peoples’ WH.
They will stoop to anything to stop him. he threatens their status quo on power and money. I pray he has a good security detail. I figure they’re gonna try it once they realize all else is failing.

Justice, I'm not the originator of the graphic.

Posted it because I liked it and it sums up what Trump and America is up against.

Cleary we have some great people in this country that could run for President.

After seeing what Trump is going through, I think those folks will not have the heart or stomach to take the task on.

So we Americans get the likes Hillary, Bill, Obama, Romney, and the rest of the political inside hacks.

Thank you and the best to you and yours.

New campaign tactic :
Don’t vote for me.
Vote for the other guy.
So we can stop that third guy.

Brilliant !


I predict your tactic will be used by the GOP in the general as well.

They will tell voters to vote Hillary because it’s better than Trump.

They will do whatever it takes to protect their rice bowl.

Actually, it telegraphs that Rubio and Kasich agreed to Plan Magic Underwear.

Cruz is not assuredly implicated. He may have come, listened, and rejected the idea. I sure hope so. Because if he agreed to take a powder (like Rubio and Kasich) anywhere, I’m done with him.

And what’s thus about Trump supporting affirmative action

It's the law. The executive branch has to enforce the law. You know who can change the law? The Senate and the House. You know who determines if a law is constitutional? The Supreme Court.

Not according to the delusional "Dump Trump" online brigade. Just look at their Twitter feeds, which are filled with vituperation for Cruz.

As if a candidate who's trailing significantly, running (ostensibly) as an insurgent, is going to link arms with The Cathedral in order to satisfy the blood lust of the GOP commentariat.

So is it now confirmed that every vote for Kasich and Cruz count towards Trumps total, same with Ohio? I mean, we’re sharing votes now right. I’m curious; how many votes are actually FOR Rubio....Does anyone else see a problem here?

Thanks for the lecture, altho I don’t know where you want it to go. Actually, a lot of this comes directly from the Executive Branch.

So...what’s Trump’s position? This matter is currently ending before the Supreme Court.
