Kasich is a dirt bag and is staying in this race for one reason and only one reason: to sabotoge the democratic process in this country and keep Donald Trump -- The GOP front runner chosen by the voters -- from getting the nomination. There is no other explanation since it is mathematically impossible for Kasich to even come close to 1237 delegates. Very pathetic to see the turncoat politics practiced by the party establishment and the blatant propaganda by the US mainstream media. These are tactics that would have even made a rank and file Nazi party member blush and insist "I do not personally condone this."

Kasich and Cruz are very sore losers. Neither have any chance for 1237.

If Trump was in their shoes, he would respectfully drop out.

As far as a brokered convention. Odds are Trump will get the 1237 in June. But if it's a brokered convention - and it goes to fourth ballot (which it needs to for Cruz or Kasich to win) - neither Cruz or Kasich has a chance.

By that time those delegates would pick Nikki Haley, Jeb Bush, even Michael Bloomberg before the majority would go to a nut job like Kasich or Cruz. Ted Cruz has 0 chance of winning a brokered convention. 1237 unbound delegates are not going to Cruz or Kasich.

At least Trump would have the decency (if he was in Cruz's position) to drop out. Jeb Bush hates Trump, but he knew he wasn't getting 1237, and Bush has class. Cruz is a total sore loser. "I am beating Trump from Alaska to Maine." Give me a break. He got his asss handed to him in these primaries.

AWWWE TOO BAD SO SAD PuddingPops :roll eyes: You live in a democracy, No?

It's how the system works and using terms like Nazi actually speaks more to your particular Political leanings than anything else..Be that as it may..Let the Process continue..unless you'd prefer to anoint someone??? Which hardly describes a democracy (small d).. :roll eyes:

Even on Democrat side back in 2008..HRC didn't bow out until June 3rd, 2008! So why should any Candidate bow out..unless they run out of $$$$$ Maybe you should look at just who is funding their Campaigns? That may actually be more productive

I'm not sure if you:

A) Didn't read my post or...
B) Don't understand how the GOP primary/caucus system works?

A candidate needs 1,237 delegates to win the party nomination. Trump is the only candidate who has a chance of reaching that, which is why I stated that he must be recognized as the party candidate by the GOP for democracy to remain a legitimate factor in this country. What you wrote makes no sense.

Hasn't the constant recurring theme of the Trump campaign been "(fill in the blank) is treating me unfairly"? And his core supporters are one big echo chamber of this theme.

I don't think Trump is mature enough to be President -- and it's really hard to say that about someone who is 70 years old, but yep! Lacks the maturity.

Agreed, same here.

Add Hillary to the "little kid" list, too.

Obama is very mature.

Yet Obama thinks it's smart to import more Syrian refugees - even after Belgium and everything going wrong in Europe.

Do you read the news? If so, you would know that the terrorists in Belgium were born in Europe. Same thing with one of the San Bernardino shooters (born here). The refugees have nothing to do with it.
