Why are Republicans so happy? Shouldn't they be hoping Kasich wins here and not Cruz? Cruz is hardly more electable than Trump. On the Democratic side, I'll be surprised if Sanders does any worse than this, and he'll probably do better.
Why would I want what is basically a Democrat as the nominee of my party? I don't care who Kasich could beat. He might as well be Hillary Clinton on too many issues. Plus, you and I have the same chance of that bum getting the nomination on the first ballot.

LOL WUT. So you'd rather lose than win with an electable candidate? This is why the GOP base is batsh*t insane these days.

Yes. I would rather lose. The party has lost its soul. And if it basically steals the nomination away from a conservative, I am not willing to hold my nose and vote for more of the same GOP-e Democrat-lite uni-party nonsense.

If you think Kasich is "Democrat-lite" you know nothing about him.

Plus, as far as I am concerned, the biggest differentiator between Trump and the rest of the field is he actually has gotten tangible things done. The rest of these clowns would rather debate ad nauseum to keep the status quo for the donor class.

Trump hasn't accomplished anything other than becoming notorious by engaging in outrageous and despicable behavior and manipulating the media, and convincing banks to loan him money he couldn't pay back. Again, if you don't realize that Kasich has accomplished more than Cruz and Trump combined, then you are an ignoramus. It's as simple as that.

Trust me, I know plenty about him. He balanced the budget. That's his claim to fame. And his dad was a mailman.

He also is a corporate crony who was a partner at Lehman Brothers when the banks were bailed out (and Lehman's carcass was picked clean) in 2008 and would not enforce existing immigration laws. That's a no-starter for me and the 60-80% of voters that seek to oust the GOP Establishment thus cycle.

And, again, both you and I have the same chance of winning the Republican nomination on the first ballot as Kasich.

Fair enough on all of that, but it is utterly delusional to call him anything other than a solid conservative, if an establishment, business-oriented one (which I would agree with).

Just Trump Tower, Trump Hotel International, the Miss Universe pagent, Wolhman Rink in NYC (after the government couldn't do things right the first time), Trump Plaza, dozens of championship golf courses, a top-rated TV show, the tallest residential building in NYC across from the UN, dozens of elite four-star hotels, properties all over the world. A net worth in the billions, the list goes on and on and on, but yeah. He's accomplished nothing. Right.. He has no clue how to cut through red tape and get things done.

Okay, so he's built some buildings. First of all, how does that remotely qualify him for the presidency? Second of all, are you really delusional enough to believe that he would've have even come close to doing any of that that if he hadn't inherited his daddy's money? He is nothing more than a trust-fund brat with incredible skill at media manipulation who is mediocre at nearly everything else. I am 100% confident he would be totally incompetent as president, and would be the worst president since James Buchanan, and quite possibly ever.

Not to mention that "getting things done" is a very bad thing if the things to be done are not good. I, for one, would gladly take the status quo over any of Trump's toxic policies, and that is why I will do everything in my power to prevent his election this November. But I suppose that's just an area of political disagreement between Trump-supporters and me, so fair enough (though I can't even imagine how anyone could be anything other than terrified at the few policies Trump has outlined).
