Believe it or not there are 4 GOP candidates…..we do not hear much about Kasich in the media….I mean a candidate that is NOT running anymore has more delegates than Kasich…that would be Rubio who has since gone the way of the do-do.
All the talk these days in the media is that it is looking like a contested GOP convention in Cleveland….the possibility is that none of the remaining candidates will have the prescribed amount of delegates to get the nomination on the first vote……and the media is jerking off with glee….there could be a convention that is NOT as boring as watching paint dry.
Political junkies and history buffs have spent weeks dreaming about the unlikeliest possible scenarios that could determine the 2016 election: contested conventions, third-party bids, a cross-party ticket. But here’s one prospect they probably haven’t thought of: There’s a legally sound scenario in which John Kasich could single-handedly pick the next U.S. president. And it’s all thanks to a federal law that’s been on the books since 1887.
It’s a far-fetched outcome, to be sure, but here’s how that could happen—and why Congress should consider revising that 130-year-old law.

Wonder what kind of deal he will make for his delegates?
What do you guys think?
Kasich = Meh!
I do not like him either…but he is acting like the only adult left in the GOP
Your like button has disappeared
Looks good from my side….both comment and post like buttons are visible…..
I can’t see mine either and I have it turned on in settings. Can you see my reblog?
Nope…all I see on your site is the cel phone one….
I have share buttons for twitter and facebook showing and the like button and comments. Can you see all of these?
John, I see them all….
Thanks, Chuq
Anytime, my friend
I can’t see any of them either…but that’s because I use software that blocks all that annoying Twit Zone/Loserbook bullshit. 😉
I also can’t see the other comment I tried to post here. It’s likely in your SPAM bin for containing too many links.
I got most of them…links and all.
K-Suck is the ONLY (non Trump/Cruz) Republican candidate who acted like he was listening to my advice the entire time. And he is about to be rewarded for it….big-time! In general, more people should listen to me. (Jeb! and Rand Paul especially should have listened!)
Despite only paying attention from Jan 1 2016 on, I knew the Rope-A-Dope Strategy (and there were a lot of dopes to choose from) could transform a mediocre, under-preforming, already-established, candidate like a K-Suck into…
at worst: a very respectable 3rd-4th place out of 30-ish.
at best: a Kingmaker with a blank cheque written in his name.
“Little Marco” was nothing more than an empty suit with a pretty smile. In retrospect, he was merely collecting Anti-Trump & Anti-Cruz votes that anybody else would have collected…had they been half as cute. But Ricky Ricardo Jr actually won nothing. Even though he won 3 races (only one was an actual State), a quick glance at this website http://www.nytimes.com/elections/2016/national-results-map
shows Little Marco only finished 1st in 10-15 counties, most of which VERY narrowly. This “loooosa” not only failed to win his own State, but won only ONE county! Loooooosaa!!! But he was going to finish 4th just for sticking around…except the idiot flushed his entire future away and dropped out. (He’s not running for Senate again & will unemployed after 2016.)
Meanwhile, K-Suck was completely ignored for an entire year! He only did “okay” in New Hampshire and 4-5 other places. Yet unlike Little Marco, he won his own State. (Lucky for him, it was Winner-Take-All.) Now he’s poised to finish a very respectable 3rd and get that blank cheque…if not get handed the nomination itself in a Convention Coup!
In a wild LSD inspired retro-flashback, there was always a good chance of an old-school Delegated Convention. In a field dick-deep in Republican dicks, where the 2 leading dicks were the 2 most hated ones, a Delegated Convention was a VERY possible outcome. At any point, had I been told Trump would do well, I would have advised my/all Candidates to stop trying to beat Trump one-on-one and switch to a Favourite Son Strategy. Concentrate on your own regions/demographics and collect Delegates from Proportional States where available. And no matter how bad you’re sucking, stay there until the Convention!
Unlike Democracy itself, a Favourite Son Strategy isn’t the “irrelevant relic” that everybody thinks. It’s actually the rotary phone in the bedroom Grandpa stays in when visiting. It’s certainly “unkewl”. But it still works as good as ever, far better than the “kewler” modern alternative that never gets decent reception and is used mostly for downloading porn & Twit Zone shit-throwing contests. (See: “My hands are huuuuuge!)
Here’s a couple of recent “What ifs?” that actually could have happened, if only people had been willing to use their “rotary phone”.

Kasich is trying to be the FS…..he is pulling hard for PA especially the western most part of state where he could win…..I just want to know what he wants from the next nominee.
And look what a great friggin’ strategy that was! Even if K-Suck doesn’t get ONE more Delegate, he’s achieved far more than ALL the establishment candidates combined. He went from “Kiddie Table” to Kingmaker. And if they’re smart enough to grab the flotation device, he may have single-handedly rescued the incompetent Republican establishment from itself.
Meanwhile, Cruz is a complete fucking imbecile!!! This idiot actually thinks that, not only can he beat Trump one-on-one, he can beat Trump so badly that he can pass him in Delegates. As such, Cruz has been hellbent on running all the other non-Trump candidates out of the race. The fool has actually been increasing the chances Trump will win outright before the convention. But Cruz thinks he’s so great, he can even beat Trump in Delegate-rich, evangelical powerhouse States…like NY & NJ!!! Because he’ll HAVE TO if it’s one-on-one.
For Cruz to have had any chance, he needed those Favourite Sons to trump Trump in States where he doesn’t have much chance. Instead, he focused on Florida, undercut Little Marco and handed Trump 99 Delegates. Now he’s trying to do the same in States where K-Suck might do well, like Wisconsin. Obviously, somebody’s parents never taught their boy the value of sharing.
No wonder he’s the most hated guy in Congress.
I see the3 juveniles are at it again…this time over which wife did what…..love this total BS…..
