KASICH: I'm staying In The Race Until Donald Trump Hits The Magic Number

Source: AOL News May 3rd 2016 7:49PM



John Kasich is staying in the Republican presidential race, his campaign said Tuesday.

After finishing a distant third in Tuesday's Indiana primary, the Kasich campaign's chief strategist, John Weaver, sent out a memo announcing the Ohio governor will remain in the race until Trump secures the GOP nomination.

Trump, the GOP frontrunner, secured a massive win in the state. The race was called moments after the polls closed.

"Tonight's results are not going to alter Gov. Kasich's campaign plans," Weaver wrote in the memo. "Our strategy has been and continues to be one that involves winning the nomination at an open convention."

is he basically not campaigning at all anymore? Surely he is not still getting money.

but I think Trump has a plan worked out on this matter in particular.My theory is the republican party isn't as hot to win the white house as the media has been leading on. Face it their party is in very piss poor shape. The tea freaks for example.And there is plenty more needs fixing ! And since the economy didn't tank the way those republicans had hoped it would,there is no way to reverse the blame into the democratic party.Point being the republicans cannot organize their own pack of wolves.I really don't think it takes any form of genus to figure out how it is Trump saw the window open just enough for him to slip through.

I think Trump figures he has good shot at wining the general election,thing of it is, he actually believes he groomed himself for the job, if that tells you anything ! And one thing is for sure, it is indeed better to know than it is to think that you know ! And being right on the money is even better. He likes the Christie story,you know when Christie was just a boy he became a political jun-ky. It drove him to knock on a politicians door and ask how you become a politician. And so the story goes his ambition progressed from that point on to his demise.

Trump found use of Christie some odd 15 years ago. When Christie was campaigning for president he told a story about having been invited to a dinner meeting with Trump. He said all Trump did throughout the entire thing was talk about himself. Christie went on to say Trump walked Christie out to his awaiting car talking about himself all along the way !

That's funny , And Trump ,little did Christie know that while Trump was doing all the talking, he was also being a vacuum sucking up all that is of political value to Trump out of Christie unbeknoweth to Christie. Trump no doubt fed Christie well, and like a vampire sucked a plentiful amount straight out of him talking about himself all along the way ! So I suppose Trumps a pro and he is indeed pro trump.
If it was just a philosophical game Trump was playing, Christie is still in the dark about the game he was/is in.

Funny isn't it,how it is Christie just seems to be detached from it all lately. He appears to be there but not there at the same time.And that's the price of doing business with Trump.And I'm sure nobody here would endorse that !

OK, so the question is does Trump think he has use of Kasich in that way ? ! I mean where would Trump imagine he would find place for Kasich if one were able to imagine how Trump would imagine . ! Fair game as the saying goes.
