The Race is On: The 2016 Presidential Election Thread

Bashing Kasich and he is currently third.

Scared?

 

I don't know. Why the multiple posts bashing him?

Too bad the GOP can't find a way to get Kasich in.

He is more than semi-relevant. He is the Governor of Ohio.

 

You get the government you deserve ... at least in the US ...

 

I thought it was the best government money can buy...

 

That too ...

Fourth.

Kasich is 4th behind Rubio, who hasn't been in the race for nearly 2 months!

 

Therefore, by his logic, Trump > Lincoln.

 

Unfortunately

 

There's a line in the 'Game Change' movie where an advisor tells McCain if he loses the female vote by more than 5 points, he loses. If that's accurate, and all it takes is a 5 point gap to all but guarantee victory...yikes.
