John Kasich skewers Donald Trump's "silly" rigged election claims

Source: CBS News

Former Republican presidential candidate and Ohio Gov. John Kasich is hitting back against the claim that the election is “rigged” -- an allegation that GOP nominee Donald Trump has repeatedly made in recent days.

When asked in an interview with “CBS This Morning” early Wednesday whether he believed Trump’s assertion of a cooked election was correct, Kasich replied with an emphatic “no.”

“Look, to say that elections are rigged and all these votes are stolen -- that’s like saying we never landed on the moon, frankly,” said Kasich. “That’s how silly it is.”

Kasich joins the growing chorus of voices blasting Trump’s unfounded claims -- a group that includes House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican.

I love it!

He's positioning for 2020, when he will play the "Return to Sanity" candidate, and almost certainly win his party's nomination.

But there's also good news here: Kasich knows how every precinct in Ohio will go. He's a goddamn expert on Ohio elections. If he's smash-mouthing Trump right now, it's because his internal polling is telling him it's over, even in Ohio.

I've been hearing suggestions on the news that both Democratic and repub internal polling looks even more dire than the readily available polls we see.
