<\/h1>\nThe Republican Party I Know<\/h1>\n
<\/h1>\n<\/h1>\nBy Scott Rohter, March 2016<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a speech\u00a0after his long\u00a0awaited victory in Ohio, Governor John Kasich said that he was not going to take the low road\u00a0to\u00a0the highest office in the land. So then what do you call what he is trying to do? He has absolutely no chance of\u00a0winning\u00a0enough delegates to\u00a0be the Republican\u00a0nominee for President. He has only succeeded in winning one State, his own… after thirty five\u00a0primaries. The only reason he is still in the race is to prevent Donald Trump from winning the nomination on the first ballot, and just to show you what kind of an Establishment\u00a0lying politician and\u00a0big bully\u00a0Governor Kasich\u00a0really is let’s go over the math…<\/p>\n
After thirty five\u00a0State primaries\u00a0and caucuses\u00a0John Kasich has even less delegates\u00a0than Marco Rubio has.\u00a0Senator Rubio just dropped out of the race… Marco Rubio has 169\u00a0 delegates and John Kasich\u00a0has only\u00a0142 delegates. There is no way in Hell that John Kasich can\u00a0amass enough delegates\u00a0before the Convention to win the Republican nomination. So then why is he staying in the race?… I’ll tell you.<\/p>\n
The whole purpose of his campaign is\u00a0to stop Donald Trump…\u00a0John Kasich is supported in this endeavor by Jeb Bush and the rest of the GOP political Establishment. \u00a0John Kasich has been a politican\u00a0his\u00a0entire life.. For over thirty years he has been a part of the\u00a0Washington Political\u00a0Establishment whether he has been working inside of the Beltway or inside of the Governor’s mansion in Columbus Ohio. John Kasich is not Ronald Reagan.. He has never been like Ronald Reagan no matter how many times\u00a0he\u00a0mentions Ronald Reagan’s name.\u00a0John Kasich is a liberal, progressive Republican and he\u00a0has never been an outsider like Ronald Reagan was.\u00a0John Kasich is a\u00a0Washington insider. He is also a\u00a0war hawk who will start World War III with Russia if he ever gets\u00a0anywhere near\u00a0the White House.\u00a0 This is In stark contrast to Ronald Reagan who was a peacemaker that\u00a0ended the Cold War with the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n
The very first question\u00a0that the moderators asked Donald Trump\u00a0at the first Republican Presidential Debate was\u00a0whether he would agree\u00a0to accept the\u00a0results of the Primary\u00a0and not\u00a0run as a third Party candidate if he\u00a0was not chosen to be the Republican Party nominee for President. Now with Trump solidly in the lead after more than thirty State primaries it appears that the same question needs to be asked of the GOP itself.. Will it rally behind Donald Trump if he is the clear and undisputed leader going into the Convention. Their answer seems to be no. Recently influential establishment Republicans met and vowed to do everything in their power\u00a0to sabotage Donald Trump’s chances of getting the nomination.<\/p>\n
John Kasich is a member of the Republican Establishment. He hopes to steal the nomination away from Donald Trump at a brokered convention… Everyone in the media\u00a0has started\u00a0using a new\u00a0phrase to describe the Convention process when\u00a0one candidate doesn’t\u00a0get enough delegates to win the nomination\u00a0on the first ballot.. They don’t want to\u00a0use the phrase, a ” brokered convention”<\/em> anymore.\u00a0Since delegates are only bound to a particular candidate\u00a0during\u00a0the first round of voting, when the second round of voting begins there\u00a0are a lot of deals that\u00a0get made.\u00a0\u00a0They prefer to call\u00a0this process\u00a0a “contested convention”<\/em> instead of a brokered convention… Did you notice\u00a0how quickly that phrase caught on in the media?\u00a0\u00a0The Establishment is trying to control the language and thus frame the debate so it is in their favor. A contested convention sounds a whole lot better than brokered convention doesn’t it?\u00a0 However a\u00a0rose by any other name smells just as sweet… and there is nothing sweet about what John Kasich or the GOP Establishment is trying to do. John Kasich thinks he can parlay the strategic importance of Ohio in the\u00a0General Election into a roadblock that prevents Donald Trump from\u00a0getting the Republican nomination for President. That sounds to me like the Republican Party I know.<\/p>\n In a speech yesterday after his expected victory in Ohio, John Kasich said that he was not going to take the low road to win the highest office in the land…. Oh really? Then what do you call what he is trying to do? He has absolutely no chance of getting enough delegates to win the nomination. He is just trying to prevent Donald Trump from winning the nomination, and just to show you what kind of a lying politician and a big bully that Governor Kasich really is let’s go over the math…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8757,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[20],"tags":[709,731,635,729,730],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8756"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8756"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8756\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8765,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8756\/revisions\/8765"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8757"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8756"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8756"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8756"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
