I really hope John Kasich wins the contested convention. He's the only one who can face this debt and destroy it as he's proven in the past. Also he can actually reach across the aisle which Obama seemed incapable of.

The problem is that even if Kasich could win somehow.  It will only further anger the already angry Trump supporters, and some Cruz ones as well.  Many will refuse to turn out and the republican party will only be in a more terrible postion in 4 years.  

 

I worked for Rubio (still has more delegates than Kasich) and Kasich is the only other Republican that I like.  He along with Rubio were slam dunk winners in the General.  However things have changed now.   The problem is that even if Kasich could win somehow.  It will only further anger the already angry Trump supporters, and some Cruz ones as well.  Many will refuse to turn out.  Plus the shot Trump goes third party.  I think the party is too splintered for Kasich to be able to unify it in order to win.

It would also just prolong the problem the republican party has with the tea party/Trump supporters.  They would be back in 4 years with a vengence.  Best thing for the Republican party is to let Trump be the nominee.   Watch him lose, let Hillary be president for 4 years, watch her approval fall even further, then win a even more slam dunk election in 4 years. 

Yeah I see your point.  I wish there was a party with a majority of Rubio and Kasich supporters because this need to appeal to the extreme conservative just to get those southern states is annoying yet I disagree with most ideals of the left.  He'd be 67 in 4 years and Rubio would still be quite young.  I think Kasich with Rubio as VP and the heir apparent would be a GREAT thing for this country.  Rubio is a little inexperienced for my taste but he is my second favorite candidate and I think he would have thrashed hillary in the general.  Just think you would have a senator of Florida and the Governor of Ohio in the general and he's beaten Hillary in every poll by an average of 8 points.  But the far right doesn't care and will only elect the most extreme candidate because apparently they don't want to appeal to anyone but themselves no matter what the results of the general election will undoubtedly be.

What is giving you this impression?

The people who claim he is.

 

My point was stating that if he actually was this huge xenophobe, the US government would have stopped him a LONG time ago.

No he's free to be a xenophobe due to free speech.

It's the people who are voting for him despite that that are the problem.



I LOVE ICELAND!

Better than a wolf in sheeps clothing like obama and hillary are. I rather i have a honest maniac than maniacs behind closed doors

closet maniacs atleast care about keeping appearances and do some decent stuff to do so, public maniacs don't give a fuck at all and do whatever crazy shit comes to their mind

Kim Jong-Un is a public maniac, Erdogan and Putin are half-public maniacs

you take that back about the glorious leader!  And Putin wrestles bears he's a badass!

In reality I really don't want him to win. On the other hand I hope he wins so he runs the country in to the ground like GWB did and the people who voted for him suffer.



Trump is the only candidate willing to address americas problems. we have suffeed from a weak leader with a weak foreign policy that has lead to mass unrest in the middle east, europe, and less security for pacific allies nd our selves. I am excited for a president that acknowledges who we are as Americans, world leaders, not followers. I m also excited to finally have secure borders. It will allow us to integrate migrants better and stop the creation of a little mexico in the US. Just look at the protest in CA at Trumps rally. They weren't waving our National flag were they? Doesnt seem like they want integrate, instead they want to take. But most of all I like that he doesn't give a hit about what the rest of the world has to say or think, or what the media has to say or think. Thats what we need. Someone with the ability to realize that the loudest voices out there are usually the laziest people with too much time on their hands and not enough experience in life to try and tell others what to do. And that he has tapped into the views of the silent majority who spend time at work and can't constantly bash people in the media for their views. About time someone stuck up to the intolerant left.

the world as well. Bernie seems to be the best among the lot but the American masses are still brainwashed with that commie propaganda they used to get them to hate Russia and China.

Bernie seems like a decent candidate, although I'm not sure on how realistic his plans are. My pick out of the remaining candidates would probably be Kasich. Sad to see the good candidates loose like that.

This just shows what a sad and yet laughable election this is



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

Then go ahead waste money on a wall Mexicans will just use tunnels and sure cause he is so tolerate and won't even let Muslims enter the states. He'll take care of the immigrant problem in a country made up of immigrants and nuking the middle east and Asia and Europe will solve all your problems cause then we'd all be dead right. Trump will also attack Pakistan a country with nukes and start world war 3 cause that'll solve your problems. According to him he'll take care of Pakistan and if he is as crazy as he acts on TV then my country will be invaded and a world war will start just because Americans are too ignorant and blind to see the truth of trump. I'd rather you have a donkey as a President than trump who is also the grandchild of an immigrant. So to hell with the world, we want an 'honest' president
