HUFFPOLLSTER: John Kasich And Donald Trump Are Tied In Ohio

SNIP.............


KASICH COULD STYMIE TRUMP IN OHIO - Home state advantage might help Gov. John Kasich notch his first primary win in Ohio on Tuesday. Kasich leads or ties frontrunner Donald Trump in the last four polls conducted in the state. According to HuffPost Pollster's average, the two candidates are in a dead heat, with Trump taking 37.7 percent of the vote to Kasich's 37.4 percent. Kasich’s average share of the vote has risen nearly 10 points in the last month.

1. That's just sick. Kasich was Governor and, while a nutcake, looks eminently sane next to Trump.

Republicans have definitely jumped the shark en masse.

John said he'd quit if he lost his home state. As I've said before....Kasich is bad for everyone! This home grown Ohioan should know!

3. I am no Kasich fan, but if he wins, he could possibly "stop" drumpf.

I heard somewhere on TV that drumpf would need 60% of all the remaining delegates if he loses OH. Anything that puts a stumbling block on drumpf's path to the nomination sounds good to me.

5. That's the key. Trump losing Ohio puts the GOP on track to a catastrophic brokered convention

6. I just heard Kasich on RW kook radio and he actually sounded reasonable and intelligent.

Also it was remarkable how he handled the lunatic host, Sean Hannity.. better than anyone I have ever heard. We should be thankful the idiot Republicans are not going to nominate that guy. He might have a chance to beat Hillary. Although I cant stand Trump and hope he gets dumped.. he certainly is the weaker candidate.
