Kasich is a giant pansy whose name and reputation should be tarnished forever for his failure to challenge Trump now.
Approval for Donald Trump within the GOP is at least in the 70s. so there is no need for Trump to rig any primaries.
There was no need for Nixon to send a gang of goons to break into the DNC HQ either. Some crooks just like to ensure their already certain victory by any means necessary.
It still blows my mind that the GOP did not cease to exist as a political entity after that. Jimmy Carter should have won all 50 states by a record landslide margin of like 50 points. The Republican Party should have been wiped off the map right then and there. The fact that it wasn’t, and indeed soon emerged stronger than ever, was the first sign of how f—ked we were. Frankly I can never trust anyone who ever voted GOP after Watergate clearly exposed the depths of their corruption and depravity for all to see. Then as if that wasn’t bad enough, we had Iran-Contra, a child rapist as Speaker of the House, Florida 2000 and Iraq, and now all things Trump. The idea that anyone could look at all that and say “Yep, these people represent my values” absolutely blows my mind. I guess I’m just not warped or stupid enough to understand how that’s even humanly possible.
People blamed Nixon personally, not the party.
Jerry Ford was also a decent and honest man.
