john kasich i waiting for convention to be made the republican nominee

[Darth Vowrawn]

Look at where your strict adherence to the constitution got the party. 8 years of Obama, and completely inept Republicans in every other branch of government. You lost. Your ideas aren't worth preserving.

Oh, suuure, it isn't like the Constitution is the founding document for the entire country that prevents wannabe dictators like Trump or Obama from seizing complete control and turning the USA into the Fourth Reich, or anything...

Oh, and funny you should mention Obama on the Constitution: Obama is the most lawless, Constitution-damaging, Marxist weasel to have ever gotten into office. Ted Cruz, and many other Tea Party patriots, have done their damndest to waylay and blunt his idiocy, but they keep getting betrayed by the Mitch McConnell's, the John McCain's, and the Paul Ryan's within the Republican Party. It is the Constitution that KEPT Obama from amassing an insane amount of personal power and becoming "President for Life", not enabled him to gain power. Disregarding the Constitution is the pathway to despotism, something that nationalist cucks who support Trump seem to not know or care about.

This isn't the first time the GOP has been reinvented, Trump is under no obligation to see "what the Party is about." If he succeeds and changes it, feel free to support a third party, perhaps the Constitution Party would be more your thing.

The Republican Party has always been about the Constitution, even during its founding. It was against the Democrats and their abuse of American slaves, and their attempts at twisting the Constitution to allow for slavery to spread and continue. It is people like you who don't belong.

Although I am curious. Are you just that hurt over Trump's criticisms of free trade? Where is he coming up short in your view? Does he not pander to Hispanics hard enough?

-Treatment of women.
-Support of racist scum like David Duke.
-Economic protectionism that would hurt consumers and trade.
-His sleazy personality and narcissistic temper tantrums.
-His lies about his stances on abortion, immigration, the military, and the economy.
-His extremely high rate of failures as a business owner.
-The fact that he is a coward who has no depth to his policy prescriptions, and just throws out red herrings and personal attacks when challenged.

Oh, and speaking of "pandering to Hispanics", what about when Donald Trump funded half of the Senators who created, and vocally supported, the Gang of 8 Amnesty Bill? I'm guessing him flip flopping on that isn't proof that he doesn't really believe what he says about "building the wall"? Donald Trump is just a demagogue: he is just telling gullible little nationalist cucks what they want to hear, when he has no plan or intention of ever doing what he is "promising" to do. He is a con artist, and nationalist cucks are the mark.

[Wildberry]

Oh, suuure, it isn't like the Constitution is the founding document for the entire country that prevents wannabe dictators like Trump or Obama from seizing complete control and turning the USA into the Fourth Reich, or anything...

Great argument and defense. Truly it's the brave Tea Party patriots and strict constitutionalists that are preventing that.

If nothing else, thanks for being a breath of fresh air. You've managed to take a website that resembles the Jezebel comments section, and add a dash of Fox News.

Oh, and funny you should mention Obama on the Constitution: Obama is the most lawless, Constitution-damaging, Marxist weasel to have ever gotten into office. Ted Cruz, and many other Tea Party patriots, have done their damndest to waylay and blunt his idiocy, but they keep getting betrayed by the Mitch McConnell's, the John McCain's, and the Paul Ryan's within the Republican Party.

So the failure of the Tea Party types is... everyone else's fault? For someone calling others Leftists, you sure do have their sense of personal responsibility. But yes, thanks Constitution, truly that wonderful document prevented Obama from declaring himself a God-King.

The Republican Party has always been about the Constitution, even during its founding. It was against the Democrats and their abuse of American slaves, and their attempts at twisting the Constitution to allow for slavery to spread and continue. It is people like you who don't belong.

Yeah, you guys are still, definitely the Party of Lincoln, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Reagan and Bush. A very consistent party that hasn't changed a bit!

-Treatment of women.
-Support of racist scum like David Duke.
-Economic protectionism that would hurt consumers and trade.
-His sleazy personality and narcissistic temper tantrums.

-Treatment of women.

Heidi Cruz is a repulsive slag with a questionable background. Megyn Kelly is nothing but a bimbo that runs anti-Trump pieces, and Rosie O'Donnell is a fat, disgusting pig.

-Support of racist scum like David Duke.

Trump can't help who supports him. He did disavow Duke, but beyond that, he can't do anything to stop it. Hey, if you want to go down that route, didn't Ted Cruz attend that "Kill all of the gays" Swanson conference? At least Trump doesn't willingly align himself with nutjobs.

-Economic protectionism that would hurt consumers and trade.

Protectionism is a good thing. Sorry you'd rather enrich internationalists and screw over the American poor.

His lies about his stances on ... immigration, the military,

[Citation Needed]

His sleazy personality and narcissistic temper tantrums.

You're right, Ted Cruz is truly a better person. He's run a clean campaign, and we've seen no hints of any immoral behavior in his personal life.

-His extremely high rate of failures as a business owner.

So you went from Fox News to Huffington Post, now? "Extremely High rate of failures." Okay, friend. I'm definitely going to need a source for that one.

-The fact that he is a coward who has no depth to his policy prescriptions, and just throws out red herrings and personal attacks when challenged.

His website is rather fleshed out, actually.

Oh, and speaking of "pandering to Hispanics", what about when Donald Trump funded half of the Senators who created, and vocally supported, the Gang of 8 Amnesty Bill?

He's a businessman. He gets along with everybody. He's donated money to everybody. He was on the other side of things, he got along with Republicans, he got along with Democrats. It was his duty to his family and his employees to get along with everyone, and that's the kind of thinking this country needs.

I'm guessing him flip flopping on that isn't proof that he doesn't really believe what he says about "building the wall"?

If you really want to go down this route, didn't Cruz suggest a few amendments to the Gang of 8 Amnesty bill, even going so far as to express that he "wanted it to pass?" Granted, now you'll probably just shift to damage control mode, and tell me how Cruz played them all like a fiddle, and he didn't really believe that.

I'm loving every laugh, though. A cuckservative, trying to hijack the term "cuck," to insult the very people that popularized the term. That's about as rich as Kasich calling someone a RINO.

But hey, have fun LARPing 1776 when Obama or Trump becomes "President for life." Or, if you lie enough on the internet, you might be able to get your ideal candidate. I mean, who can dislike a constitutional Israel firster?

This is a great way to spin the fact that a special interest is about to win the nomination of his party so that he can get rid of special interests.

I think you missed the joke there. Either way, it's a better move than nominating the Soros Puppet, or the Goldman Sachs puppet.

[Berengil]

If Trump gets the nomination ( on the 1st ballot or later), Hillary stomps his face in the general election.

If Trump doesn't make it to the automatic win number AND the Republicans manage to play the convention rules around and give someone else the nomination, Trump goes independent, takes his voters with him, and Hillary wins against a divided opposition.

Last time I looked at it, oddsmakers are giving a 95% chance for Hillary to win.

Get ready for 8 years of Pres. Clinton, VP Julian Castro, and First Gentleman Bill Clinton.

Do you realize what that means? The President's spouse is traditionally the host/hostess of White House parties/dinners.

Bill Clinton will be in charge of throwing parties at the White House.

Gddmit I want an invitation.

[muto]

Kasich would be smart for the Republicans to pick. He would be the next President if he were picked; assuming it were him vs. Shillary. He won't be the Republican nominee though, because he's not insane enough or stupid enough.

[Cthulhu 2020]

His popularity isn't tanking, after Wisconsin its pretty much all trump. Considering how much money in attack ads and all the dirty tricks that have been used against trump he is a rock.

His popularity took a big hit when he made those scathing comments about Cruz's wife, and his popularity continues to decrease while Cruz is gaining for being the bigger man. I don't like Cruz, hes a slimy scumbag. But Trump is a thousand times worse.

I agree, he has a responsibility to his chinese workers.

[Healing Rain]

He needs to drop out already. He's only gotten 11% of the GOP vote and 5% of the total vote. Him thinking he deserves the nomination with those numbers is a show of arrogance that can only be topped by Hillary's arrogance.

[satimy]

Trump has a chance, Cruz a very small chance and kaisach no chance in a general

[dd614]

If they make Kasich the nominee, Trump runs as independent and Kasich gets about 10% of the national vote.

[Wyrt]

That´s some crazy democracy you guys have going on.

It's the primaries. The parties get to basically do whatever the fuck they want in the primaries. I don't know why we really bother with them.

Actually he wouldn't. If he won delegates, got close, then chosen in a contested convention then perhaps (the last 6 months have seen a heck of a lot of damage to the republican brand). But if he is given it with hardly any delegate wins then it would tear the party apart. It would be establishment republicans giving the nomination over the will of its party base to an establishment republican. They are already angry enough as it is and already loathe their leaders. Something like this would push them over the edge. You would see 30%+ vote for third party or sit it out, then they'd primary the hell out of any establishment republican in any succeeding election.

No. It has to be either Cruz or Trump.

Is Trump that likely to spend a lot of his own money to accomplish nothing but spite against the GOP? Small money donors, big donors... not going to flock to a personal vendetta campaign. He isn't even going to be able to get on ballot in all 50 states as an indepedent. He'll bitch, loudly and often, and he may end up campaigning for and endorsing Hillary, but he won't do it.

What do you think?

In the first place, the republican party has been at the throats of each other the entire election instead of working together, unlike the democrats. Trump splitting off if he doesn't get the nomination is incredibly likely.

[Ahovv]

If the general is between Hillary and Trump, or Hillary and Cruz, I'll vote Hillary.

If it's between Hillary and Kasich, I'll probably vote for Kasich. Still need to learn a bit more about him, but that's my initial feeling.

So good on him.

That makes no sense. Kasich's policies are essentially the same as George W. Bush.

[Sierra85]

Kasich is the definition of a weasel and he won't be getting anything but a one-way flight back to Ohio.

he's the best candidate out of all thats left of the republicans. so that says something.

Oh, sure -- he's a small enough, petty enough man to invest his energy into costing the GOP the race... but he's not going to drop the $500m-$1.5b into a meaningful independent run at the White House to make a pretense of trying to win.

[Felya]

Uhm... Trump's campaign manager is a former lobbyist who lead Americans for Prosperity super pac... which gets funding from the Koch brothers... Completley ignoring the fact that Trump has been lobbying the Republican Party for quite a while. Remember, the controversy over his comments about McCain? What got lost in the controversy, is that Trump was bitching that his million donation to McCain didn't buy him the presidency. So, while you complain about puppets, make sure to understand that you support the puppeteer...

I mean, there isn't really much of a difference between Bush and Obama. They are pro-war, pro-spending, pro-patriot act presidents.

At least trump "claims" he is against some wars. Obama claimed the same, but then decided intervention was a great idea once into his presidency. Oh, also keeping troops overseas.
