Trump says RNC shouldn't allow Kasich to keep running

Now this raging narcissist thinks he can say how long a legal candidate should be in the campaign. Waaaah, mean ol' Kasich is stealing his votes. :crybaby:
Somebody tell me again why this stupid man should become president.

"Donald Trump on Sunday called for Ohio Gov. John Kasich to drop out of the presidential race, arguing that his lackluster performance in the race means he has no shot at the nomination and is only hurting his own chances at locking it up.

"Kasich shouldn't be allowed to continue and the RNC shouldn't allow him to continue," Trump said of Kasich during a campaign stop at a diner in Milwaukee.

Trump said he made that very pitch during his meeting with RNC Chairman Reince Priebus this past week. "I mentioned it to the RNC. I said, why is a guy allowed to run? All he's doing is he goes from place to place and loses and he keeps running."

Trump noted that the rest of the field dropped out of the race after performing poorly, and that Kasich had only won one of 29 primaries — his home state of Ohio, "where he's the governor and where he has the machine working," and where, Trump said, "if I spent one more day in Ohio I would've beaten him."

Kasich has persisted in the race despite badly trailing Trump and Cruz in both primaries won and the delegate count because he and his backers believe the governor could win the nomination in the case of a brokered convention, where no candidate wins a majority of party delegates and the nomination is decided in multiple rounds of voting. He said Sunday on ABC's "This Week" that he was preparing for an "open convention" and that delegates would end up choosing him because of his experience in elected office. "That's why I think I'm going to be the nominee," he said.

And even Priebus said, in an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday, that "it's not impossible" that Republicans will end up with a contested convention.

Trump said even with that rationale, Kasich should still drop out of the race because he's siphoning his votes away. "If he wants to go and have his name put in nomination in the convention he can do that. He doesn't have to run and take my votes, because he's taking my votes," Trump said. Kasich responded in a tweet pledging to stay in the race until a candidate wins the delegate race outright.

"That's not how our republic works, Donald. We'll keep fighting until someone reaches a majority of delegates," he tweeted.

He makes a good point, however, he is severely misguided. You are right in that Trump is a complainer, but for delegate votes within a party, not the general election, he makes a good point.
 
He thinks he makes the rules, I guess.

He sure doesn't know how government works, based on his statements.

His hero-worshiping fanboys don't either, since they don't question him.

Is he going to do to America what he did to Trump Steaks?

The hubris of Trump saying "He doesn't have to run and take my votes, because he's taking my votes." As if he has a crystal ball letting him know who's voting for whom. Granted he has the best chance of the three at this point.

I remember when Ralph Nader jumped in the 2000 race and Dems hated it while repubs were happy to get votes away from Gore. But we just sucked it up because that's the hand we were dealt.

theoretically though nader has a shot at winning. No votes had been cast yet and he could have won. Kasich has no mathematical way to win 1237. So he has to win it in a brokered convention. Might as well leave and let people choose between trump or cruz as they still can win via popular vote.
 
Did Perot have a shot in 1992?

I don't recall anyone asking him to drop out.

He reminds me of Trump.

Kasich did win one State and has delegates in his column...therefore, he stays whether Trump likes it or not.....

at least it hasn't come to the point of what the Dems did in '68, nominating a man that wasn't even in the running in the primaries at all......

theoretically he did. 0 votes have been cast and anything can happen on election day. In this instance kasich has no shot anymore as elections have come and gone.

You cant deny anyone the chance at running as they *could* win even if a longshot. But right now there are not enough delegates left for kasich to win.

You think Perot "theoretically" had a chance to win?

Interesting.

When he forms the "Trump Party" this summer he can make his own rules.
Lol

That's a possibility, but I think Trump embodies the current Republican electorate. I think he'll get the necessary delegate count by July.

The RNC is planning on duplicating that exact scenario this summer..
 
It will be wonderful.


It's a shame the pro-gun GOP won't allow its' conventioneers to exercise their Constitutional rights.

Gun grabbers.
Guns save lives!
 
Hell, Bush and Fiorina could have kept running and never win any more delegates. Just because they can't qualify to win the convention under present rules, doesn't mean there's a rule that they had to drop out... :dunno:

Dropping out, has been by choice for them all.
