My Theory on Kasich
Vanity | Vanity

Posted on 05/04/2016 8:48:08 PM PDT by fred4prez

Anyone else think Kasich must have had a gentlemen's agreement with Trump? Why else would he stay in the race for weeks/months after it was obvious his polls weren't going much higher? Though he didn't have much hope of winning, his staying in divided the "not Trump" vote, siphoning valuable votes and momentum away from Cruz. Just my two cents. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Kasich as the VP nominee, especially since he could deliver Ohio in November.

Trump would be an idiot to pick Kasich as VP.

And then he made a deal with Cruz - who double crossed him - to stop Trump?

Are you suggesting that Trump was colluding and conspiring with Kasich to corrupt the delegation selection process? And you call this a “gentleman’s agreement”?

I sure hope not! I’d hate to see K-siock as VP. Anything more that White House Men’s room attendent would be problematic for me.

When Cruz is named as the vice presidential nominee, don’t say no one told you.

I think Kasich is an opportunist that finally got the message thati it is time to quit before he just becomes a big joke for everybody.

I think Kasich and Cruz were natural allies to siphon votes from Trump. Together they cover a wider spread of appeal than either alone would present.

I think the powers that be flinched at spending another $50,000,000.00 or so for more goose egg results. Closed checkbooks meant closed doors on those two ankle biter campaigns. The war to thwart Trump will be conducted on other fronts now. The primary has been ceded.

As a former Cruz supporter my vote for Trump is not a gaurentee should he pick some liberal dull head. I guess all votes are off till this settles down.

When Cruz dropped out, there was no more hope for a contested convention and that ended Kasich’s long, long shot hopes. And it probably ended his financial backing.

Trump campaign had asked volunteers to keep making calls because neither Cruz nor Kasich had endorse him. They are not trusting Cruz and Kasich at all.
