Possibly. I can only tell you what I told ZZ on the Cruz-thread.

I don’t believe it’s about wanting to be hated by anyone. I believe they could care less who hates them. What seems to be driving them is thier hatred for “Washinton.”

I prefer Kasich for president.

How many of those primary voters were cross-overs in states in which that is allowed. In polls, Trump does not look good against Hillary. I would hate to think that people in a snit helped elect Hillary. It could very well happen.

Between winning Ohio and Rubio exiting, yesterday was most definitely a good day for Gov. Kasich. But I think it’s time for somebody (i.e. me
) to point out its unsilver lining: now at every cocktail party he will have listen to “So, you mean you’re running fourth in a three-horse race?”

I am fine with Kasich staying in. He pulls votes from Trump and can negotiate his delegates at the convention. Ditto Cruz. Cruz does not have a snowball’s chance in hell of getting to 1237. They should both stay in to the end. I think Kasich has a shot in PA, but it is early days yet. Kasich can do well in states Cruz can’t and vice versa. Another thing I just learned last night - not all states going forward are winner take all. Some are, some aren’t - just to add to the confusion. The more the merrier I think at this point in terms of stopping Trump from hitting 1237.Between winning Ohio and Rubio exiting, yesterday was most definitely a good day for Gov. Kasich.

Isn’t it sad that so many people are willing to make their anger override common sense? As a result, the likely Republican nominee won’t even share many of the values they purportedly hold - unless, of course, they are fine with someone who is an (admitted) adulterer and clear misogynist, a narcissistic bully with little regard for law, and an outsize ego that makes him singularly dangerous in a position that would give him final say over the use of nuclear weapons.
I, for one, will support any effort to keep him from being the nominee. I can’t think of another candidate who has ever scared me the way he does. This inclination of much of the populace towards authoritarianism is horrifying.

My questions for Kasich supporters:
- What is his deal on religious freedom? He said “follow the law”. That’s what PP folks say today and what slave owners said back in the 19th Century.
- How will Kasich handle the attacks that would come from the Clinton machine? And I’m not sure these protesters-turned-suspect (they are committing a federal felony by disputing an event where the Secret Service are present) would be limited to the current front-runner.

For now, yes, but Ted is not the nominee, and no Republican has ever won the WH without winning Ohio in the general. Democrats have, but no Republican. For a Republican, Ohio is a “must have.”

He polls very well against her, but the attacks on him would be relentless. He doesn’t have the ethnic immunity that Cruz has either.
He’s been touted as a VP pick, but if the GOP has their convention in Ohio and they have good numbers there, Rubio or Carson might be a better choice.

I think they’ll be okay in Ohio as long as there’s only ONE republican running, especially if Kasich campaigns for us there.

Heck yeah.
On top of that, I think Trump’s good at turning anger against him to his advantage as well. I mean let’s be honest, many of us were right there with Marco Rubio when he decided to respond in kind to Trump’s attacks … but it didn’t turn out too well.
I can’t say absolutely what the best approach to take is, but I’ve been trying to mindful of getting “trapped” by Trump supporters into a counterproductive conversation.
P.S. I just realized that I’m talking about him on the Kasich.
I’ll stop now.

That’s true, but most voters who can’t stand Trump, also can’t stand Cruz.

I have no idea how Trump voters would feel about Kasich. I don’t think they’d like him; he’s too establishment.

I guess the next time poll results come out we’ll get some idea of how many Rubio supporters have made the transition to Cruz. (I like to think that I have.

I doubt anyone’s forgotten that. But many do seem to forget that Trump is not the nominee.
