John Kasich cancels planned event, to make statement in Ohio Wednesday night

Source: CNBC

Ohio Gov. John Kasich has cancelled a planned event to make a Wednesday night statement in Ohio, NBC reported.

Kasich was left the only man standing against Donald Trump in the Republican presidential primary race after Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas suspended his run on Tuesday night.

Trump won a resounding victory on Tuesday night in Indiana, taking all 57 of the state's GOP delegates, according to NBC.

In response, Cruz suspended his run, concluding that he had there was no longer a "viable path" to his becoming the Republican standard-bearer in the general election.

Looks like the monster created by the GOP/Tea Party have themselves the only spot on the GOP ticket now that Kasich is out. May they reap what they have sown.

Establishment Jimmy Carter hold off challenge by progressive Kennedy.

Establishment GHW Bush knocked off by antiestablishment outsider Reagan.


No one thought the loony b-movie actor could win

But minorities did not account for 30% of the total vote like they will in 2016 either. In 1980, African Americans were 10% of the vote and hispanics were 2%. The remaining 88% were white.

the kid who runs for class president in middle school and wins by
promising everyone free donuts

because that's what television and our consumerism/media culture
has taught them is possible

Trump has figured it out

You don't have to work hard to motivate the lowest common denominator

Racial prejudice and easy-peasy fixes to everything

as I said, may they reap what they have sown.

However, as a nation (under God supposedly), I find this to be a disgrace.

Shame on anyone that would vote for tRump! Shame on the GOP for allowing it to go this far!
