The battle for Ohio is one of the closest contests yet in the 2016 Republican presidential nomination contest — and it could be the most important.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich is fighting for his political future today, desperate for a win in his home state to both keep his bid for the White House alive and to complicate frontrunner Donald Trump’s path to the nomination.
Kasich’s ultimate plan is to earn all the delegates in the winner-take-all Ohio, and to use his momentum to prevent Trump from gaining enough delegates to win the nomination outright at the Republican National Convention in July.
Then, Kasich hopes to get the nomination himself in a so-called “brokered” convention.
But none of that happens unless Kasich wins Ohio first.
A governor winning his home state is ordinarily nothing to roil the waters, but what’s ordinary in 2016? This is swing-state Ohio, after all, and another big cache of delegates who all go to the winner.
Looking strong in Florida, Trump added late events in Ohio to try to fend off the governor and avoid complications on his path to the nomination: namely, the contested “brokered” convention.
With more delegates up for grabs than almost any other day in the primary calendar, Tuesday’s contests affords Trump the chance to put his nominations out of sight for competitors.
But the establishment is doing everything they can to stop it from happening. Both Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Kasich have suggested they might not be able to support Trump if he’s the nominee, an extraordinary stance for intraparty rivals. House Speaker Paul Ryan has also taken lightly veiled shots at the businessman.
Heading into Tuesday, Kasich appeared to have the best chance of holding off Trump. The governor spent Monday campaigning in his home state alongside Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican nominee and a fierce critic of Trump.
“This is the guy Ohio has to vote for, and America’s counting on you,” Romney told the crowd at a Kasich event in North Canton. While Romney has not endorsed Kasich, he’s said he’ll do whatever is needed to help all of Trump’s rivals.
Rubio, despite having the backing of numerous GOP elected officials, appears to have slipped in recent public polls in Florida. The senator tried to stay upbeat Monday, perhaps his final full day of campaigning in the 2016 race.
“Tomorrow’s the day where we are going to shock the country,” Rubio said during a stop in Jacksonville.
If Trump sweeps Tuesday’s contests, he’d still have to keep winning in order to clinch the nomination. But he would cross an important threshold by collecting more than 50 percent of the delegates awarded so far.
Without a clear win, the GOP nomination could come down to a brokered convention — which means establishment backroom deals that would not bode well for Trump.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who has defeated the businessman in seven states, is the only remaining GOP candidate who still says unequivocally that he would support Trump if he becomes the nominee.
The Associated Press contributed to this article.
The news report the other day said that Rubio is third in Florida. I would think that the linguistic group that can press 2 for special service would boost Rubio in Florida. I guess not. I remember in the very early 1980’s the Archdiocese of Boston stating that due to that linguistic group from south of our borders influx that they’d have to build many more churches.35 years later the Archdiocese has closed over 70 parishes in the past 15 years. Many closed parishes are in areas where large numbers of that linguistic group moved to. I guess banking on one group doesn’t always work out.
I think ILLINOIS will play a significant role in deciding the nomination and election in 2016.
I was denied my 1st Amendment rights at the disruptor fist swinging / cancelled Trump Rally last Friday in Chicago IL, but under high security on Sunday allowed me to participate in the Bloomington IL Trump Rally (the only one).
Trump had little to no ground game in Illinois by design, but leads in the polls and will prevail over Ted Cruz in todays primary voting. Cruz spent a lot of time in Illinois and also has a big ground game here, but it is not getting him much traction at all.
I also believe that 2016 is the election year where this traditionally Blue State becomes a Red State for Trump.
The more I look at this, if Trump doesn’t win Ohio, and gets the other states. I think Cruz needs to dummy up realizing he needs the VP spot on a ticket with Trump. Personally, I think Trump can do better, but not through a brokered convention.
As I believe the establishment GOP would prefer losing to Hillary/Sanders than give up their power. I can see a very powerful GOP, if there was a way to do away with the establishment.
Trump is a bigot
1. Trump hates women – look haw he treated Magyn Kelly, Pregnant reporter who fainted, and Carly F
2. Trump hates Blacks – Trump Enterprizes under his watch had segregated housing,
– Trump buys politicians for his own benefit this is slavery
3. Trump hates Hispanics – Border crossers are mostly poor people wanting to shelter, feed and clothe their children. They are not rapist (rapist harm people sexually). They are not Drug Cartel (Drug cartel sell drugs and kill people). They are not terrorist (terrorist kill people).
4. Trump hates Asian people – Chinese and Japanese do not control N Korea. N Korea’s dictator does.
5. Trump hates Jews – “Hitler was right”. Hitler’s claim to fame is scapegoating Jews for Germany’s problems. Then systematically killing them. Trump follows the pattern of Hitler including brainwashing and playing on hatred.
6. Trump hates Muslims – Trump treats Muslim like Hitler did Jews. American Muslims are mostly good citizens. ISIS are (a compound word) Radical – Islamic – Terrorist. RIT kill both non Muslims and Muslims who believe differently than themselves. Mislabeling the enemy is only setting us up for loosing the war.
7. Trump hates constitutional rights – Picking on Religious groups is unconstitutional.
– Natural born citizen means either a person born on American soil or having a parent who is a citizen.
8. Trump slanders everyone even his own “If I shoot some one my followers would not leave me”. That is arrogant. Trump’s supporters can not be all like that.
9. Trump is spoiled rotten – His supporters belittle people who put him down, Trumpsters slander that same person.
10. Trump throws Temper Tantrums – When he does not get his way he slanders and makes insinuations of being less than acceptable. Trump when confronted does the same thing. Trump treats his competitors the same way.
11. Trump is a bully – slandering and belittling are his tools of bullying.
12. Trump uses not PC as an excuse for disrespect. PC is politically CORRECT not polite. Ben Carson is not PC while being respectful.
13. Trump is the king of Liberals. He only started being not Liberal when he ran for president.
14. Trump says what Americans want to hear and does his own thing.
15. England voted whether they should ban him. Not good to have allies reject president.
I believe you are mentally ill. Magyn Kelly treated him like crap with those stupid questions to tear him down and we all knew it… I say to her, “no class and shame on you”. I haven’t liked her after that.
Lois – get your head out of the sand and stop being an ostrich. You are DEFINITELY an ardent Dem. Oh well – we will see what this fall brings. GO DONALD J TRUMP – going to take back America from that sad excuse for a president promoting the OBAMANATION and downfall of America.
Why don’t you join the ranks of Hillary Clinton. With your misinformation about Trump, you and Hillary would get along quite well.
According to your beliefs Trump hates everyone on the face of the earth. Do you not believe that he has employed more people than any other politician in the Federal Government today. I guess he must have had a big change of heart since he entered the SLEAZY WORLD OF POLITICS.
Oh My Lois. You are suffering from Optorectomyelitis! That is when your optic nerve connects to your rectal nerve. It gives you a shitty outlook on life. You probably blame Trump for the little mermaid having a tail, resulting in no tail.
YOU MUST BE A – WELL , NOW LET ME THINK ……I GIVE UP ..! I CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE ANYONE AS DUMB AND UNTHINKING AS YOU – I WAS AN AVID WATCHER OF ‘kELLY” UNTIL I SAW HER UGLINESS WITH TRUMP ….SHE DIDN’T GET ANY MORE THAN SHE ASKED FOR FROM HIM ….SHE IS UGLY INSIDE AND OUT …..I HAVEN’T WATCHED HER SINCE – AND I WON’T ……
Lois Wenk,
I’ll bet 10 years pay that you are a miserable, tax sucking slouch who comes illegally from South of the Boarder to get free everything. You wouldn’t know a Muslim rapist unless he was on top of you with his dingy inside you.
Trump will remove you and your tax sucking ass out of the country and build a wall to keep ALL your illegal dumb asses out of our country.
Did Romney write that?
It sounds like the nonsense he sputters out.
Lois, I don’t know where you get your information, but you need to educate yourself girl. You want your country back? You tired of politicians pandering to the lobbyists and special interest groups? You tired of politicians like Hillary who have blood on their hands, but will never be held accountable? Tired of pansy asses like Obama that have made us a laughing stock? that refuse to call Islamic terrorism what it is? Tired of this country being a bunch of babies that get their feelings hurt if you look at them cross-eyed? I am. And a lot of us are. You need to vote for Trump. It’s time for Republicans to be proud again.
Lois Wenk,
You are stating that you are “Politically Correct” I’ve been looking for someone who declares themselves to be “Politically Correct” because all of you know something I don’t know.
And that is, how to pick up a “turd” by the clean end.
Lois ,
You are a perfect example of a democratic UNINFORMED voter. Do your own research and stop listening to biased reporters talking points. You will sound like a much smarter person.
Lois
You are right about Trump. You have been paying attention Un like some of these people on this page
I can not believe what some of these people are saying They are the ones not reading and does not know how are government works !! Trump says he going to do this and that. But the President can not do any thing unless the congress goes along with him or her Trump will be a complete failure as President. He has called the leader ship Stupid @idiots. What is he going to say he did not mean it These are the people he must work with or
He gets nothing done. Why are people messing with guy that knows nothing about our government with no experience is beyond me.
Lois
Thanks. Hopefully Trump will be stopped before he does any more damage !!!
If you are going list things that you perceive as problems with Trump, Please do your research. Acquisition of US Citizenship by a child born abroad, defines the requirements and your do not comply. I understand your dislike for change but it is going to happen.
Where I live I have begun to see fenced in settlements with Arabic writing, this does look like people that want to mix with Americans. If they are refugees, they should accept our way of life, since we are giving them a place to live. This country is great because all previous refugees blended in with Americans and this should be a requirement.
Look at what Clinton did in office and you probably thought he was wonderful. Impeached and wouldn’t leave.
Thrump isn’t responsible for whether women get ahead of men or even with them. That belongs to a lot of men.
Only one slaver here,is sitting office,Abummer detrroying everything,blacks,whites,AMERICA………….,
Your exactly the type of uninformed idiot or brain dead Liberal who is on the brink of ruining this Country. You would rather have a bold face liar or a acknowledged Socialist in office. You should look at some of the poorest Countries in the World, they allowed Socialism to flourish and that was the end of Democracy. Just look at Venezuela, has one of the weakest economies with inflation running over 700%, one of the highest crime rate in the World and lack the basic necessities like food, water, electricity and medical services. Sounds just like the place YOU and your KIND should move to before you destroy the Freedoms we enjoy in America.
every thing you mentioned was used to attack Trump. and every one was shown to be untrue nothing more than slander and false hoods. I don’t know what’s worse. parroting the lefts propaganda. or showing publicly you are unable to think for yourself.
You are really off base!! you deserve what Hillary will do to our country!!
You are really too stupid or else getting paid by Obama and Hillary! Probably both!
Drew
Cruz would never do that
Ms Kelly
Was spot on calling out Trump on his treatment of women. Well documented trump is a pig. He has lied to his first two wife’s He broke his marriage vows with both wife’s. Dozen upon dozens of times Lied @ cheated on the ones he loves And you dumb asses don’t think he is not going to lie to you ??? Trump has lied to you and you are not paying attention This guy is a pig
I agree with you. Trump for President. He can take Cruz along as VP — I think Trump can do better too, but not through a brokered convention. Brilliant idea Drew.
Its a sad thing when the Republican is trying to eat there own only holding on to their power.They don’t care about the American people at all, only power and the money thing get from special interest to give them favorable leg. Out of 46 republicans that voted on NAFTA treaty, only 12 voted no to sending our manufacturing south of the borders. Then there’s Paul Ryan who removed the debt ceiling and gave Obama what he wanted. This is not why we voting these guys in three years ago. They take no responcibility for there actions and for some reason they just can’t understand why an outsider is doing so well. Clueless for sure !! If the republicans are so worried, then they better start governing but truthfully I don’t trust them anymore. I’m for voting anyone in that is a new face. We need to past laws that special interest can no longer make campain contributions. I’m for Trump all the way.(Screw Romney)
Way to go!
Someone showed the GOAT as the Global NWO and the two horns as the Dem and Rep ,….meaning they are all one and the same ….We better hope that Trump gets the nomination – he is our only hope ….VOTE TRUMP
Trump needs to go Drop out
Cruz would be a fool to go along as a VP for Trump. What a joke. Trump will never get there. He is a total pig
I am a life long Republican And will never support Trump All my friends feel the same. He would be worst than
Obama Hillary would be better Trump is a eratic pig That should never get near the White House
I am an 89 year old that has never missed an election with the exception of when we were moving and not available to register. I think every member of this great nation should get down on their knees and get the help they need to know who to vote for. I am definitely for Trump, and am very dissappointed with Romney’s actions after Mr. Trump made a great effort to help him win in the last election, and what is worse I am related to Mitt Romney. but nevertheless I really believe he should not turn his back on Trump at this time. I suggest we all get down on our knees and listen
I am so glad to hear what you had to say! I just more people had half your brains.
THANK YOU for sharing your comments.
Nancy
Trump will not be President period !!
I do not care about anything Trump says or does tat (politically Correct people say). I believe a pig is a pig .I call it like it is. I have it figured out. Trump has only one hing in life to accomplish.He wants to be president. Then maybe instead of people saying Reagon so far is the best president in History.Maybe now he doesn’t only want to be president but wants to be the best presidnt ever? How great for us the American people. What I do like about him is he knows his limits.If foreign policy is not his thing ,he as a businessman of 50 years knows to appt. the smartest and brightest.Why because it makes him make good decisions ,basically getting him all the praise.Hell I do not care if he gets the praise because he is bulding back America and our respect in the world. The president today is he worst we have ever had and brought merica to her needs. The democrats want a welfare ,ignorant pop. that will continue to blle America dry with food stamp, fraud ,sec8 housing another 64 million acquired by democrats for more public housing in VA.Wake up people We have 50 million on food stamp ,mostly fraud .%0 years of welfare from deocrats where hs it gotten us. I’ll tell you. 3rd and 4th generation welfare recipients. Govt. now has 122 social welfare programs that people get money. No need to get a job.Just watch your mama in action and the children do learn that. Here comes 5 generation. We spend the most money on edu. but are 30 on the list of stupid. We have to import foreigners because the kids of USA are not getting that they need to school for the jobs we have a need for. Like health care .We need 25% more each year.So study that any field and you’ll get a jo when you graduate. Tired now it is so depressing thata lot of the youth of today are nothing like the prior generations of get up and go people like the geeks that have been sweeping the USA for awhile now. B. gates, apple founder, all the really smart people who on’t give up Amazon ceo. Look him up
Cruz a “Constitutional Attorney” SHOCKED THE CONSCIENCE OF MANY AMERICANS, when he blamed the violence at Trump Rallies on Trump and his Supporters who were trying to exercise their 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, instead of the HIRED THUGS!
This should Reveal to Every American the TYRANNICAL HOLD the (left/right) Establishment in Washington has over the People and the Great Lengths they will go to keep ROBBING THE UNITED STATES COFFERS!
Hope Trump falls in all states The pig
Give it up, Trump supporters arent buying what you are selling.
I believe ILLINOIS will be the difference maker in 2016.
Trump will prevail with the help of ILLINOIS voters, even if our 1st Amendment rights were denied by disruptors last Friday in Chicago IL (the cancelled Trump Rally), but we were strong in Bloomington IL on Sunday.
Trump by design has had little to no ground game in Illinois, and only a single 2 hour rally here, but he leads in all the polls. In contrast, Ted Cruz has been all over Illinois and has had a large ground game here, and he still has little traction to show for it.
2016 is the year when Illinois turns this traditionally Blue State into a Red State on election day, and carry a Trump victory for Americans.
Quick Poll – How many Democrats out there will be voting for Donald Trump? Speak up now!!!
yes,,,,my husband AND I voted for TRUMP
We are registered Democtrats but we voted for TRUMP.
Good for you & Thank You! I too am a registered Democrat but Will be voting for Donald Trump! TRUMP 2016!!!!!!!!!!!
ME!!!!!! I also switched to Republican this year!
THANK GOD FOR ALL YOU “AWAKE” DEMOCRATS!!!
You are all a bunch of idiots. Trump will screw every one of you We don’t want any low life’s over here in the Republican Party Go back to the Democratics
Glad to see we’re gathering Trump Democrats. The Trump express is leaving the station! ALL ABOARD!! Full steam ahead to the nomination!!!!!!!!!
DONALD J TRUMP 2016!!
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!!
Just because one is of a Latino country, that does not mean they will be practicing a certain religion once here. The reason many turn to the church in their own country, is that is only place to go to survive,
With our economy much better than they have come from, the need for church is not as great.
A habit of physical need that comes from a spiritual organization, does not translate to a country where physical need can be found in many places. Church leaders are missing this point here in America.
Goes to show that this country truly does not understand the culture of physical need does not translate to spiritual need as well. It is primitive thinking that takes place in times of desperation.
Ann Says
And you are so in tune with all this. .?? I think you are full it !!
Ann…yes! The “melting pot” principle in action. I’m hoping the same thing will happen with Muslims.
May the comforts and distractions of life in our modern civilization always serve to protect us from excesses of faith and ideology…
I like CRUZ if TRUMP loses, unless TRUMP has the most delegates and the establishment tries to steal it from him. Everyone will lose in this scenario.
I wish Rubio would be more realistic . Realize that this is not is time to be president. I would have loved to see him as a vice-president with Trump. Stop the animosity with Trump. Joan Di nello
Kasich is a dyed in the wool RINO. He supports Common Core, Obamacare and amnesty for all criminal illegals that have crossed our borders. A win in Ohio for Kasich would be a vote for business as usual of liberal government control.
Steve G I totally agree. It’s a fact that Kasich is running ONLY to take Trump out so the ESTABLISHMENT will remain the same & America Will Lose. I pray to God that the people in Ohio understand this. He voted for NAFTA, is in Favor of TPP & Common Core. Exactly what the people in his own State are against. A vote for Kasich is a vote Against America.
I hope the people in Ohio is a vote for the establishment and business as usual Hope they realize the importance of their vote for the future of the Country God help us if anyone other than Trump is the nominee
I say we need help from God if Trump is elected. In the first place he is NOT CONSERVATIVE. He is an arrogant BLOW HARD and in my opinion would be a disgrace to this country.
Cannot imagine how he would treat leaders from other countries except to put them down which is the only thing he seems to know how to do. I personally will vote for Hillary before I would vote for Trump and she too is not to be trusted. I can only say I am glad I am old and do not have that many remaining years to watch our country completely fall apart.
This is double talk
Trump all the way.
Too many establishment Republicans don’t realize that Trump expresses the feelings of many in the silent majority. We are not necessarily bigots but we resent the pandering to all minorities and this politically correct BS. The fact that “all lives matter” is seen as anti black is tantamount to bigotry on the part of blacks because it denies them the feeling that they are special. All of us, black, white, and everyone in between, are equal in the eyes of our Creator. Trying to say that one group is better than others is divisive and has been the cause of much domestic hostility in especially the last 7 years.
To vote for Hillary in lieu of Trump is voting for the known devil instead of a yet to be known possibility who just might turn out to be just what America needs. Hillary would only continue the divisive policies of O’Bummer on the domestic scene and continue to screw up the world politics like she and O’bummer did in the past. Trump, on the other hand, has a proven track record for making things happen and would be by far a better choice for improving the economy, bringing jobs back home, and negotiating us out of some of the dangerous agreements the present administration has gotten us into.
Liberals don’t realize that you will never better the conditions of the lower half of the economy by dropping the conditions of the upper half. It is only when the whole economy improves does the bottom half also advance.
You are an Idiot then! To say You’d vote for HC who You Say is Not 2 B trusted, cause You wouldn’t vote for Trump, is Cutting of Your Own Nose to Spite Trump’ Face! So he’s got a loud mouth! At Least he’s not a Liar/Murderer! Talk about a Disgrace 2 America: THATS WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN THE WH & THATS WHAT WE’D GET WITH HC! TRUMP ALL THE WAY FOR THE USA! ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!! I’m
People who advocate for Trump need to realize they need to put someone in who is respectful and respectable if they want others out side them selves to take them serious. They had their chance with Ben Carson and Carly F. I think they shot themselves in the head here. The one between their shoulders.
Julia L. I think that if Trump gets in maybe God will help us out. He is tired of being taken out of everything. We can’t even say a prayer in public unless we are Muslim. No longer in schools, government, sports games etc. Nature does not like vacuums and fills them with something. Enough on that. We don’t trust attorneys in everyday life so why do we want so many in government? We are all tired of empty promises and the back room deals that are made by both parties. Trump could tone things down a bit but at least you know where he is coming from. He is smart too. Smart enough to know how the system works and what needs to be fixed. Smart enough to surround himself with knowledgeable people. No one can know everything about everything in a big business. The USA is a big business. It is more too, but if the business part crashes, it all goes down. Trump 2016
Your reasoning and view on Trump are irrational! You say you can’t imagine how he would treat leaders of other countries? Rubbish! Trump has been a WORLD RENOWNED BUSINESS MAN FOR DECADES! He has dealt with Leaders and those in High Places during hundreds of thousands of Deals! Where are those people saying Trump Treated The Badly??
You must be a Brain Washed Glenn Beck Fan, who is so blinded that you cannot see that the Globalist Establishment in Washington that is determined to Undermine the Will of the People of this Nation and bring it to
it’s knees, ARE ALL AGAINST TRUMP! This Cabal understands that Trump has stated he will Audit the Fed, undo the damage their puppet Obama has done, Stop Federal Over reach and UNCOVER just how deep into the Rabbit Hole they have Taken America!
TRUMP IS THE LAST HOPE FOR AMERICA! WE CANNOT LET THEM USURP THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE!
Julia L.
I’m 78, a vet of the Marine Corps. This country is falling apart because of the Muslim Obama and the Obama filled Muslim administration.
If Hillary is elected instead of going to prison, you may see a Muslim at your door with an AK-47 with the muzzle flashing as it spits out hot lead.
You had better get with the program and vote Trump if you don’t want a hurried exit from this planet and your kids to be suppressed or killed by Muslims.
I Agree. I will never vote for trump or Hillary I write some one in
If you’re old enough do you remember Patton or MacCarthy? Were they politically correct? Did they keep your a$$ safe? Why not take a quick trip to Sweeden and see the future of America as envisaged by your Hitlerie?
How will he use other leaders? Like they use Americans, with complete disdain.
GO TRUMP 2016.
Additionally it was Obama and his health care plan that put Ohio in the black.While true Ohio was somewhere between 6 to 8 Billion in debt,all Kasich did was Vote for medical in his state and the federal government awarded him for doing so a 6 Billion Dollar windfall.Further all of the major cities in Ohio suffer massive poverty levels with Cleveland being the worse with an adult population rate of unemployment reaching over 53% So folks Kasich has not taken Ohio and done much of a job there at all. In fact at: inside.gov a website in which you can read all about your Washington insiders and local Senators,Governors etc you can find out the true of any representatives track record, Vote that record not the TV sounds bites and talking points that are said and repeated endlessly on stump speeches ..
I am praying that all the naysayers would fall flat on their faces. All the negativism against Trump is unacceptable, and God will not honor that. To prove my point, my neighbor ran for a local election, and as I helped them at the polls, his opponent walked up and down the street changing signs, or placing their signs in front of our signs. Opponent had also approached my neighbor to drop out or he would make things hard for him. I prayed hard. I knew God would not honor that. Bottom line. Opponent lost!
Absolutely right!! USA needs a complete out of the loop leader, Donald J. Trump is the ONLY CHOICE
He’s the only choice for sure !
If Washington, the media, Democrats Republicans elites, big money, lobbyists and every other liberals will spend 100’s of millions is sending the American voters RED FLAG that TRUMP is a threat to Washington that the good time gravy train and corruption is over! If he would bow down and be owned by special interest and tell the other politicians he will look the other way, his campaign would have been blessed just like Obama…
I admire Trump for declining Special Interests. He doesn’t cater to the Washington corruption. He’s the man who will fix everything that’s wrong in Washington.
Virginia
Trump is the Washington corruption. He has supported and gave close to 30million dollars to the democrates
Over the last 40 years ( him @his Dad ) You people are so friggin stupid
I think Kasich is probably a very good beauracrat, a good committee member but these are his strengths but that is not what this Nation needs at this juncture! This Nation needs an individual that is fully capable of taking strong actions to confront, head on, the huge issues the Nation is and has been facing for the last 8 years. We need someone that is not a bought and paid for politician, is not beholding to large corporations or Wall Street. We need Donald Trump. We need to think about and take care of Main Street for a change, get this Nation back on the right track, bring business back to this country and ensure American manufacturing and military strength! Vote for TRUMP!!!
I agree
Amen!
Larry
You don’t know what you are talking. About !!! Trump should drop out for the good of the country
Steve
You have no idea what you are talking about !! His success is public record. Trumps is very shadey
You hit the nail on the head.
I feel that what is going on, trying to force a brokered convention, is horrible. Nobody is going to win if this happens. If the Republicans had wanted to win, Rubio and Kasich should have dropped out when it became obvious that they could not garner enough delegates to win, and supported Cruz who has the best chance of beating Trump. Instead they let their EGOS get in the way of what was best for this Country! Now we all have to pay the price.
This just goes to show Sandy that Rubio and Kasich were just out for themselves. They don’t care about the party nor do they really care about the country or fixing any of the real problems. They are both politicians, part of the current system and neither, especially Rubio, has done much to improve this country. Rubio can’t even do his job or go to work but thinks he ought to be president… I agree with most of your comments but support TRUMP. Cruz talks a good game but he too is part of the system and is supported by Goldman-Sachs so trust comes a lot harder.
Who is Sandy ? Do you mean B.Sanders?
I totally agree, Sandy and Larry. Shame on Rubio and Kasich for stealing the votes that should have gone to Trump and/or Cruz due to their pride getting in the way. They should have bowed out long before this.
Love him or hate him, just look around and say how has the government been working for this country? Look at your bills and carefully focus on what you pay in taxes. Decades in wars, illegal immigrants getting free benefits, politicians getting better healthcare then our vets..If you like all this then throw your vote away. Only TRUMP will get us back on our feet. He may not say everything politically correct but he is not a focus group teleprompter speech reader……
Well said Sandy !
I started out not liking Trump, became ambivalent, and now with these insidious attacks by Republican Party Leaders (elites), I have now become a Trump Fan and will vote for him in the General Election even if I have to write his name in. There needs to be a turnover in Republican leadership at the top levels. They promise much, but promises is all it is, just look at the vote on the Education Secretary nominee. Cowards all.
You are correct.
Agree with you Ron! Wall Street and the US Congress are very afraid of Trump as they can’t own or buy him and they are afraid he will make them think and take care of business and make the hard choice that we must make in order to save the country. So far and for the past 8 years, they have been able to get away with sleeping on the job, making no hard calls but getting re-elected of course…their main job rather than working for America. they have a lot of nerve in my book and most of them ought to be replaced.
What party leaders are you talking about ?? You are full of shit !! Mr Prevus is the leader of the GOP. He has been very neutral
No one has screwed with Trump !
Yes which means the government is in control and it doesn’t matter what the people want. I think if there is away for them to stop Trump tell will. Trump should sue whom ever he possibly. This is BS that in America this still can happen. What a disgrace!!
Susan
Tramp will be stopped at the ballot box. Sue who ?? That goofy bastard will try to sue some one Trump needs to drop out if he loves this country
Not ownly is Kasick for illegals .but he wants to cut back social sercuity for seniors ,So Seniors vote TRUMP who will build social security and keep it safe .
Social Security is dead. It needs to be replaced with something politicians can not touch get real.
Social Security was one of the biggest theft from the American people. That was my hard work that made those payments every pay check. Washington just stole, wasted, and gave it away to others. TRUMP Please clean up Washington ASAP. I’ll volunteer to work for your administration for free to root out waste fraud and abuse ……I truly want to personally be the one to tell you the amount we will save.
I am a supportor too wiling too clean up volunteer too clean up Washington people robbing Americans hard earned money through social securty when the disabled and old people need that money too survive in a short life
Charlie
The illegals are better workers than all the lazy Americans
He is a RINO and he just tells us if we like SS than forget it. I think is a Demacrat. Very bad… He is for everything against the people. How can they vote for him???? And now Soro’s has given him over 2 million dollars. They have to have him win…
Jane

The anti Trump establishment is really pushing hard to stay in power. Are they all so corrupt that they don’t care about our country but only about their pockets.
YES – They are all that. This is why that good ole boy club needs to be dissolved.
TRUMP 2016
You are not noticing that establishment includes him since he was part of the group who bought politicians. They also caused us to loose representation.
This is true, your with them or you are against them. Trump played their game, this scares all those corrupt politicians that he knows how it works and how to stop it…….
Who is the establishment ???? That word is thrown around a lot and you dumb asses can not tell me who these people are ??
There is no invisible force out there trying to under cut that low life pig Trump
Name these establishment folks then we can go after them. Are these the same ones that shot Kennedy ???
I myself believe Donald trump will run the table tonight, I don’t think Kasich can do it in Ohio. Ohio people are smarter than that. Go Donald Trump, Lets knock this out tonight. Put the Establishment back in their corners, Let them get on board or Run to Hillary, which a lot of Republicans will do. See Donald Trump is way more Conservative, and Republican than most of the sitting Republicans in the House and Senate.
You are correct.
I sure hope Ohio is smarter than all the talking heads on TV the media and the Establishment.
I hope you’re right Jerry!
Hello – I pray to God for our wonderful country of United States and that our candidate for President will be for the people and the many needs to change this country around. I pray that all the candidates will turn around and take care of business at hand and be sensible. I pray the riots will end and we can go on with the business at hand. Our country needs a strong candidate to change this country. I pray who ever receives the nomination will be treated with respect and move on to the business at hand. I ask all people to study the issues and vote for the person they feel will be great for united Stated States. God Bless Our Country.
In Jesus name Amen
I agree. Support Trump……………………
Gordon.
We need Trump he is the only one that can stop the old Politcians who have made millions off tax payers an have done very little for the people the need to go. We need term limits to stop them!
Trump is the only way for Americans to win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the love of American, please vote Trump!
Ask yourself – would you allow someone to break into your house (which is illegal) and go unpunished. But instead allow them to stay and you feed them, house them, provide them health care and educate their children while at the same time you expect your own adult children to be law abiding citizens, to work and provide for themselves? Is not America American citizens’ home? Trump is the only candidate that expects the illegals to completely abide by our laws. The citizens of America are expected to abide by the laws of our land. Why would we expect less from illegals? We have a pathway for foreigners to become citizens of America and we should enforce our laws!
Ohio needs to get out the vote for TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes
While Donald Trump has many supporters, I’m not one of them. I have grown tired of the insults and the name calling. I considered the “Little Marco” term to be particularly distasteful. Donald Trump’s mouth has turned many regular voters off. He needs to realize that there is a difference between winning the Republican nomination and winning the hearts of Republican voters.
Mitt Romney and John McCain failed to win the hearts of many Republicans. On election day they failed to win the White House.
I don’t want to spend the next four or eight years listening to a steady stream of Trump insults and watching strife ravage our nation. Mr. Trump needs to dial it back a few notches and encourage his supporters to do the same.
With all the criminal activity going on now because of the enabling Democrats, we need someone ruthless like Trump!
Well said.
Justin you better wake up we the people ate sick and tired of the crooked lawyer politicians stuffing money in there own pockets. Hillary and Bill big crime family. And should be in jail. Sanders a communist that wants over 90 percent of your money. Kasich wants illegals here wants common core and TPP voted for Nafta. Cruz (Rafael Edward Cruz from Canada had duel citizenship till 2014 Paid off by the banks. Rubio an anchor baby from 2 parents here illegally. I voted for Trump in Florida he is a businessman that is what this country needs to survive.
Lighten up Justin, Little Marco is much better then him calling him out for what he truly is, I’m in FL.he is a no show politician that used FL. voters to get him into Washington so he could further his own agenda. TRUMP is the only strong candidate that will fix this country. I really feel bad for you throwing your vote away. In 4 years from now you can thank me, my family, friends and coworkers for voting for TRUMP and making the this country great! Because he will!
I am not a religious fanatic but, all for Trump need to start praying for his safety. Both sides will do what they can to stop him. I feel if he makes it he will take Cruz as his running mate. Cruz knows each and every door to knock on to start eliminating the corruption in both parties. Both Trump and Cruz ( without a doubt ) will prosecute those they find corrupt including Clinton, the lying >>> needs to spend the rest of her life behind bars. Go Trump Go. Rc
I’m voting for cruz,don’t like trump,but if it was between Hillary, a democrat,and trump, I would vote trump!
Bob i’m begging you to vote for TRUMP. Cruz is a politician and has ties to Lehman Brothers. He is not a uniter, he will use the power of the pen like Obama on steroids.
I hate Trump I pray that no one murders him. I just do not want him as president. He tells people to harm others. He gave people the idea to harm others they do not agree with. Bad idea I think it back fired on him.
Grow up Lois
Lois how would you like to stand in line for 10+ hours and have a paid disrupter yelling and cursing, spitting, so you can’t hear the candidates, I don’t think you would love it. TRUMP is reminding us when people actually respected each other, people were polite. These alleged protesters are really Paid disruptors that are trespassing on private property. How about the barricade jumper that tried to harm him. If it wasnt for his secret service, there may have been a horrible tragedy…..Remember these poor lost souls are gping to TRUMP events to cause problems, not the other way around. I’d love to go to a Hilary or Bernie event, I have a lot to scream at them about, but I would be beaten and or dragged out in hans cuffs
I believe if Ohio likes Kasich so much they should keep him right where he is so he can’t really do to much damage to our country being in the WH !!
Who does Mitt Romney think he is any way trying to speak out loud for all Americans!! I can very well speak for myself and I don’t need a stupid politician speaking out for me especially Mitt Romney!!! My support is and has always been for Donald Trump and I will vote for him again in November!! Donald Trump is the man that we need in our highest office to boot old Obummer out!!! I am not a low life democRAT, a socialist but most importantly not a muslim but a CHRISTIAN!! SOUTHERN BAPTIST to be exact and I take it as a deep honor that my Lord God, my Real Spiritual Father has sent His Son Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago to die for me that I have this precious gift of Salvation!!!
People of America, it really makes my stomach turn inside out for so much hatred that has is still building up within a lot of non believers. The democRATS, GOP, THE RICH SCUM BAGS, the LEFT WINGS, even our own president(dictator) Obummer, all these are so afraid of Donald Trump because he is going to change America back to our US CONSTITUTION and cover up all loopholes and charge the rich of the rich with taxes that they have gotten by with not paying for so long now. Donald Trump is going to bring back our companies that Obummer sent to other countries and bring back our jobs. He is also going to get rid of all illegals here and that I too am all for. We need to guard all of our boarders and screen any and every one that comes into our country. Obummer’s intentions were and are still to destroy America, to take away our freedoms/rights. He is so power hungry that he even wants to make America a 3rd world country so that the people here will have to depend on him and the scamming fraudulent government. He’s not only power hungry, but money hungry as well and he intends to secretly wipe out every ones savings account so look out. He is fully satanic demonic that he will be also willing to sell America to the devil himself which by the way he is doing, by allowing all these muslims/islams illegally enter into our country and then trying to impose their false religion upon us. My Faith is in the One True Living God Almighty.
People of America, this country has gone so far down into the tubes that we are now beginning to reach the septic tank and our stanch is becoming overwhelming. Think about it, we no longer care for any one’s life; we rob, steal, cheat, scam, commit all kinds of fraudulent activities just to get more and more; we lie and then more lies to cover up lies; we have become lovers of self instead of loving our families, friends, neighbors, even our enemies; we have allowed atheists, deists and all forms of satan worshippers to rule this country instead of God Almighty’s hand. We allow our supreme court justices to make and enforce laws that are illegal such as same sex marriage (which this is against God’s Holy Word and is blasphemy to God our Father and Creator) and abortions which is nothing more than legalized murder. We have become so vile and wicked so corrupt and we have also allowed our government to become more so. We have a president that should be impeached and court martial for Treason, we have senators and congress that should be replaced from their duties, we have supreme court justices that should also be impeached and tried for Treason, and even yet we have a woman on the democratic party who is so corrupt that she should already be in prison and as well as tried for Treason. What a SIN SICK NATION AMERICA has become and no wonder the rest of the world no longer wants do business with us much less have any association with our country. PEOPLE OF AMERICA, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A TRUE BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN, IT IS HIGH TIME THAT WE RISE UP AND DECLARE OUR LIBERITY THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST AND TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK FROM ALL THESE LOW LIFES, AND BRING THIS COUNTRY BACK TO GOD OUR FATHER AND CREATOR!!!!!!!!
I know that Donald Trump is not a Godly man, but right now he is the man that this country needs to turn us back to the constitution, and with God’s help and guiding hand turn also back to Him!!!!
If you really want to know what is going on in our country then read from your bible Leviticus 26, and Matthew 24!!!! We are handing for serious, serious troubles ahead people. Remember what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah, they became a very wicked and vile countries full of every thing that we are going through today, they refused to repent and turn to God, so God in all His mighty powers destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. That my friends, is what is going to happen to America and the rest of the world if we continue to go on as we are and keep turning our backs on God our Creator and Father.
WAKE UP AMERICA, OUR TIME IS RUNNING OUT AND GOD ALMIGHTY IS GETTING READY TO SOUND THE FIRST TRUMPET CALL, THEN IT WILL BEGIN AND BE TO LATE FOR A LOT OF LOST PEOPLE!! NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION FOR WE KNOW NOT WHEN THE LORD WILL APPEAR BUT WE KNOW THAT WE IN CHRIST JESUS WILL BE TAKEN AWAY. HOLD ON MY CHRISTIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS FOR OUR REDEEMPTION DRAWS CLOSER TO US EACH DAY!!!!! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT YET KNOW THE LORD GOD AND JESUS CHRIST NOW IS YOUR DAY TO TURN AND ACCEPT HIM AS LORD AND SAVIOR OF YOUR LIFE. IF JESUS WERE TO COME BACK TODAY YOU WILL BE LEFT BEHIND!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAKE UP AMERICA!! WAKE UP ALL TRUE CHURCHES OF OUR LORD GOD AND DO GOD’S WORK WHILE WE HAVE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My prayer request is: Lord God Almighty be merciful unto us for we have fallen asleep and have allowed the devil and his demons to take over. Give us strength dear Lord God to carry on with Your work that You have called us to do. Help us oh Lord God, to be strong and to put on the full garments of salvation so that we will be able to boldly with stand the devil and all his fiery darts and to fully proclaim Your gospel to a lost and dying America and world. Help us on Lord, to seek Your guidance in electing the right man for our new president and may this man be worthy oh Lord God to sustain this great office and with Your guiding and merciful hand lead this country back to You and to Your Laws, Principles, and Morals. I ask this request this petition in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord and King
Amen!!!!!!!
When I was a Southern Baptist my pastor preached good Christians need to elect moral people to government. Trump does not fit the bill.
Are you kidding me we should elect moral people……. and your not voting for TRUMP? Every politician is in it for tthemselves! They all have agendas and want to make money. Lets see how many moral politicians would stay in office if they got paid as a blue collar 40 hour worker gets. No free lifetime healthcare and pensions. Their income is put under a microscope while in office. Only One week vacation after their first year. Term limits.
Jimmy Carter is a good man and loves God.He goes down as one of the worst presidents in history.As we built the Panama Canal he gave it away. Can you imagine what a gold mine that was as everyone has to pass through it. So no we need leadership. Point two. How long were the American capitives in Iran? Can’t remembernow 169-369 days before he finally got them out.Probably scared for life. Was one of them your Relatives. Hope not. Think about it. He does not need to be president he feels he can and will do better than any buerocrats and lobbiest loving ,money grabbing,selling our country out idiots.Hes taking a big gamble running.Right now he could just go on and live his life and do anything he wants and still go down in history like being the 1st person to be on Time magazine 5 times. No he is not happy with that. He wants to go in history as the best president. It’s the only thing that makes sense.
Hey guys, HI everybody!!!!! I’m not an American. However, I do sincerely like America .
I would like to see America being led by someone not a career politician. Enough of that breed .
GIVE TRUMP THE CHANCE. I feel he’s the one that’s needed at this time. Good Luck and God Bless.!
I can’t understand some things going on today. On Drudge today. Kasich is linked with George Soros. George Soros’ organizations are Open Borders and Moveon.org. Who claimed responsibility for the chaos in Chicago…Moveon.org along with people chanting Bernie…Bernie. Kasich wants amnesty If president, in the first 100 days of presidency???? Ohio..you are a blue color, manufacturing state…do you want your jobs gone????? I don’t understand why anyone would vote for Kasich. Not anyone. And…and…if those jobs go to Mexico or are given to immigrants due to Affirmative Action groundrules….what is going to happen to Kasich’s Obamacare Medicaid????? it is going to bust the state’s budget. See…when you kiss the hand of Obama…there are consequences.
Now about Cruz. This one is truly a jewel. Ted Cruz worked for G.W. Bush since 2000. He was instrumental in his amnesty plan. He introduced TPA. WHAT IS THAT. That is a one man vote to allow…ready…FAST TRACK AUTHORITY for TPP…aka Trans Pacific Partnership….and all this time you were wondering why Rand Paul was so up tight about the lying going on between Rubio and Cruz. Well…now you know…go google it. Ted INJECTED THE TPA. Do you think he has America’s best interests at heart? I KNOW he doesn’t. If you like stagnant wages, if you like no growth…VOTE FOR KASICH OR CRUZ…he doesn’t know anything about stimulating jobs.
So…my pick..Trump…because he does understand how to get us back on our feet. Why do you think all of these people are fighting so hard to keep him out? GOP Establishment, DNC Establishment, Major Corporation that want cheap labor, the Media who seems to have a proclivity for lying. Doubt me…tune into Megyn Kelly…hit piece very night on Trump. CNN…they still say that Trump endorses the KKK…NO HE HAS DISAVOWED THEM ABOUT 20 times NOW. Trump is a Hitler…where did that come from…a Cruz supporter named Glenn Beck.
People…trace this stuff…this is unbelievable.
Trump’s bad wrap come from his past and from his mouth and behavior. Look up the facts.
Lois I guess you walk around with a bible all the time. At least TRUMP says things in public, not behind close doors behind people’s back. ….. What he said about women is the media BS blown out of proportion. He did not say it about every women. So he made a comment about one specific person as part of a conversation. Play the whole statement not the two or three words that fits your corrupt bias to make a point….
If Trump became president, nothing will be accomplished, no wall built,exportation, etc, not because of trumps good intentions, but because neither party of Congress will back him!
But Bob by us the Voters will be sending Washington a real message with TRUMP. If Congress and Senate don’t play well each politician will pay the price when it’s time dor re-election. We the people are done with all the corruption, blame game playing………
The elites will NEVER ALLOW Donald Trump or Ted Cruz to become the nominee. It’s a sad time for the USA. The Great Experiment in a Constitutional Republic has devolved into 100% corruption. The country is being run by the Democratic machine–George Soros and the Chicago thugs, along with all the illegal “residents” are in control and will stay in control. God Bless America. Say a prayer.
NOTICE Ohio voters, I understand you may like your Governor, but he and Rubio are running “spoiler campaigns” If TRUMP is not the GOP nominee to run against Hillary, we the American People will ALL lose. TRUMP is the only one to beat her….Kasich if he wins Ohio he still wpuld need 112% of the delegates. …….
Why does Cruz have his birth records sealed? What does he have to hide?
Donald Trump will Triumph!
Donald Trump will make ” America Great Again! “
Kasich took contribution money from Domestic Terrorist, George Soros, and then sluffed it off as, he doesn’t know where
all his money comes from! That’s dirty to me! Don’t vote Kasich in Ohio! He seems to be a snake! Definitely a wolf in sheep clothing!
Lets Screw Washington, VOTE TRUMP!
YOU ALONE, our HOLY FATHER GOD ALMIGHTY know all that is in the hearts of the candidates for President. Please work all things together for good for all we who love YOU and WHO YOU called according to YOUR Purpose! Praise YOU forever in JESUS’ NAME! MARANATHA! AMEN!
It looks like Rubio and Kasich are starting to waffle on their pledge to support the Republican nominee which all the candidates pledged to do during the last Fox News presidential debate. If this is the case how could anyone support these two if they renege on their pledge. This is one reason I have become discouraged with the Republican party and will become a registered independent voter. It sickens me when I see this type of dirty politics being played. I thought this was a free country and anyone could run for president. The American people are fed up with the status quo and the back door deals.
What got me about the Horn’s article was Mittens Robme allegedly TELLING Ohioans to vote for Kasich. Not asking. Demanding. Not requesting. Insisting.
What a bought’n’paid-for shill for the Establishment.
Someone earlier wanted to know just who “the establishment” is.
In a nutshell, it’s everyone who has accepted the ownership of America and Americans by big banks and allied corporations, as well as those who work to keep them in power. These toadies suckle at the teats of these Banksters, and want to make certain that their place in the sucking hierarchy stays put. Many people have NO idea that the USG has declared bankruptcy, and several times, to boot. That makes the “receivers in due course” those who really OWN America, and through their influence(control) over legislation, legislators, Executive Branch departments, and bribes to the judges, inflict their will upon a once-free People. Those who are elected are, these days, pre-selected by these tyrants, this oligarchy.
How to stop it? First, get all these owned sons-of-bitches in Congress, SCOTUS, and the Executive Branch arrested, tried, and convicted of Felony Perjury for lying under their oaths of office. For example, every sworn agent who voted in favor of any and everything Unconstitutional has, by definition, violated their oaths of office…for examples, the USA PATRIOT act, the NDAA act, and several others, too.
Get them the hell out. Arrest ’em, by Citizen’s arrest if proper LEO’s or military refuse. Try them in the public spotlight. Let their criminal acts be viewed by everyone, worldwide. Drive them out, get those who WILL abide by their Word with Honor, Integrity, and Truthfulness at all times into office.
Frankly, i don’t believe that Trump will abide by his oath of office, either; he’s already given evidence that he’ll be on-board with violating the 8th Amendment that prohibits “cruel or unusual” treatment when he says he’d authorize waterboarding, which has been a torture since before the Inquisition(whose agents used it routinely to “make heretics confess”). Here’s how that Amendment should be viewed: if you would not like it done to YOU, don’t do it to anyone else – or authorize anyone else to do it FOR you.
Barbarism is never defeated by adopting it’s tactics, and the Shrub’s maladministration has ruined what was left of America’s reputation in the world – and D’OweBama, by continuing his policies instead of eliminating them, has only solidified the hatred of any intelligent peoples in this world. Hell, they’re making Russia look good as a place to emigrate to.
Here’s something that people should reflect on; it’s a quote from Leon Uris, a quite good writer:
“Terrorism is the war of the poor; War is the terrorism of the rich.”
Ever undergone a shelling, missile attack, bombing? Guarantee you that if you survive, you won’t feel too kindly about those who dropped explosives in your neighborhood.
Trump is the only candidate to move this country forward . all the others left and right are bought and paid for. The rinos and left has no credibility and are in process of destroying themselves. they have done it to themselves with no one to blame. they have no narrative to fall back on except to blame Trump, conservatives. guns the flag mickey mouse…. Anyone who disagrees with leftist propaganda .Americans are smarter than that .we see Obamas 8 yrs of rabid destruction of fundamental institutions of the proud heritage of our country. We are not a nation of bully mobs and out of control thugs. We are taking back our country from betrayers not fit to Govern it. However I would recommend you live under communism so your criticism is tempered by experience.
