Kasich Moments Ago: "We Believe That An Open Convention Is The Best Way The Republican Party To Win"

[Avatar4321]

Kasich will not be the nominee. He is not getting delegates. Cruz is getting the delegates committed to him. Second ballot he will have the majority.

Kasich just isn't doing the work that Cruz is.

I think there is a certain irony in the different strategies that are being employed here.

Trump is all about the superficial bullshit. He gets attention, and he thinks that's enough to win. He's largely neglected anything more substantive about the political process.

Cruz has somewhat ignored Trump level concerns and is hard at work at the technical aspects of the political process. Even still, he's significantly ignoring the deeper elements of the political process.

Kasich has somewhat ignored both those higher level concerns, and is focusing on the deepest level, which is the face-to-face relationships building.​

At the end of the day, we have three candidates, each of which ignoring two of three levels of the game. It's almost as if the real battle playing out is between academic schools, and we're just caught in the middle of it.

I'm not sure how you can say kasich is building face to face relationships. There is no evidence of that and cruz is far more liked.

He's exactly right. An open convention with Kasich emerging as the nominee would be gold for the GOP. They'd win in a Reagan landslide and do very well all the way down the ballot. It's not going to happen, though, because crazies have taken control of the asylum and Trump flew over the cuckoo's nest.

ZOMG!!! Kasish would be like Romney with McCain as his VP!!

Please present us the evidence

He's a Moderate and our Moderates have done ta-riffic!!!

Which is why our front runner is another moderate and we expect it to be different?

Kasich needs to drop out, he doesn't have a freaking prayer

In other words, to hell with what the will of the people want.

If we have a contested convention it will be because the will of the people supported it

No, it will be because the corrupt establishment wants it. The will of the people will have to rise up and stop them.

In that case Trump runs as an independent, allowing his voting block to vote for him, and then the dopey GOP will have elected Hillary. The art of the deal.

In other words if you can't win the will of the people just use extoetion

If 51% don't support Trump it isn't the will of the people. The will of the people is the convention. And Trump is already being given mre support than he has earned

Too late for that. the sore looser laws mean tat by july he can only run in a few states with maybe 75 Electoral votes, mostly in hyper democratic states. It will be a waste of time.

Cruz is more liked? By himself, maybe. But everyone in the GOP actually hates Cruz. They hate Cruz Trump minus 1 times over. They do not like that angry man. They do not like him, Sam I am.
