Kasich: 'I am going to leave Cleveland as the nominee’
The Hill ^ | 4/14/16 | Mark Hensch

Posted on 04/15/2016 1:59:21 AM PDT by markomalley

Gov. John Kasich (R-Ohio) on Thursday said that he would become the GOP presidential nominee after a contested Republican National Convention.

“I am going to leave Cleveland as the nominee,” he said during the annual New York State GOP gala in New York City.

“Whether you believe it or not, it’s going to happen,” Kasich added. "We are going to go to a convention. This is not about the nomination. This is about who can win the White House after defeating Hillary Clinton.” Kasich said that either Clinton or Bernie Sanders would escalate the national debt if elected president.

“We have $19 trillion in debt,” he said. "When the debt goes up, your opportunities to get a job go down. By the time they’re done giving away all the free stuff, the debt will be up to $30 trillion and no one will be able to get a job. This is why we have to stop them.”

Kasich added that GOP voters should reject Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, because they are too unlikable.

“Do you know what will happen if we nominate people who have high negatives and can’t beat Hillary?” he asked. "There’s a very good chance your Senate majority leader becomes your Senate minority leader.

“We risk losing everything from the White House to the state house to the court house if we don’t promote a positive, uplifting message. It’s not pie in the sky," he said.

Funny and felonious are hardly reciprocal.What is "felonious" is the failure of the 0mabaoists to follow Federal immigration law and NOT deport the illegals.

Strange how a man who wants to follow those laws is castigated by self proclaimed party acolytes.

Very curious.

Donald doesn't blame anyone, he just wins.

He does expose corruption however, and I could see those being exposed would consider this be whining, like criminals consider informer's 'rats'.

Now I am a Leftist?

You really are off the deep end.

Are all Trump supporters Leftist? How about those who have endorsed Trump? Are they also Leftists? If JimRob came out and vociferously supported Trump, would he be a Leftist, too? Are Leftists behind every tree outside?

True. The fix is in, and the Washington insiders don’t want either Trump or Cruz.

So let me explain to you fellas what the Torah means and says. This Moses guy was OK, but he wasn't Abraham, see? And Abraham was the father of Fishmeal, or Ishmeal, or something like that. Anywho, Abraham was a Muslim who had a Muslim son, and another son who converted to Judaism. That son was named Issac Hayes, and he wrote the theme to the movie "Shaft" - which is one of my personal favorites.

You prefer a guy who promises to pass amnesty in the first 100 days, and call Trump a leftist? That’s deranged, just like Lyin’ Ted.

Hey John, that's for us to decide...not you.

And so far, you haven't been winning.

We’ll have to wait and see who the Washington insiders decide to serve to us.

It’s growing increasingly clear that they intend the American electorate have no distinct choice in the general election between discernible directions.

Our professional pols only want to preserve the Washington status quo.

If it were REALLY true, he wouldn’t have to say it. But it IS possible.

He should call on Warren G. Harding to place his name in nomination!

(I've expressed this several times)

Everyone's talking about all of the protestors who plan to show up in Cleveland to wreak havoc. My prediction (I at first said crazy-out there hypothesis) is that if there's any hint that the nomination will be stolen from Trump, it wouldn't be hard for more than a million Trumpsters to get to Cleveland. "Getting out of Cleveland" might be optimistic if Kasich were ever handed a politics-as-usual nomination.
