CLEVELAND — Donald Trump said it’s fine if Ohio Gov. John Kasich doesn’t want to attend the Republican National Convention, saying if he lost as badly as Mr. Kasich did in the GOP primary contest, he wouldn’t show up, either.

“Well look, he signed a pledge, number one, but honestly, he got beaten so badly,” Mr. Trumpsaid in an interview that aired Tuesday on NBC’s “Today” program. “I won, I guess, 37 states, even more than that, and he won one.”

Mr. Kasich’s lone win during the primary season came in his home state of Ohio. The pledge comment is a reference to the Republican presidential candidates’ pledging last year to support the eventual GOP nominee.

“If I got beaten that badly, I wouldn’t show up, either,” Mr. Trump said. “So he doesn’t have to show up. It’s fine.”

Mr. Kasich is holding events in Cleveland throughout the week, but he has not endorsed Mr. Trump and doesn’t have plans to attend the actual convention.

What a way to win support from fellow Republicans. That's OK donnie, I am sure we will all gather around with you and have a nice understanding about loyalty, honor, dedication, morals and principles just to make sure we are on the same page as you.

And the hits just keep on comin' ...!

You tell 'em, Donald.

The truth .... well.... sometimes it hurts.

Not a Kasich man.. but at least he is far more honorable than trump..the same trump who said he was no longer held by that vow and now wants all to be bound by an oath he already broke...

F you Scam Wowo.

Right...trump wins via a rigged system and wants us all to goosestep in line with the nut.

I do not think so..trump/GOPE can KMA.

I understand to a certain extent what you are saying; however, it is Kasich who I feel is more responsible than anyone for bolstering Trump.  Had he suspended his campaign after if it was abundantly clear that he had no path to victory and left the decision to the voters between Cruz and Trump, we may have witnessed a different outcome.  It was Kasich who backed out of the deal he made with Cruz.  Sorry, but Kasich IMHO isn't any more honorable than Trump; in fact I think he and Trump made a deal and Trump turned around and sucker punched him in the end.

Maybe.... but really all stayed in too long. Ben Carson was a stalking horse against Ted, I cannot Blame Rubio for staying in till his State voted.

trump is GOPE/DEM elite.

Ted was the only one that the uniparty did not want. It is clear now that trump/GOPE are the same thing.


Ah well, Fantom but pawn in game of life.

So, so true.  It may have been Cruz.  Two children Kasich and Trump.

Agreed. Trump was merely put in place to hijack the GOP period.  Originally the MSM had reported and had all but handpicked a Bush v. Clinton run off.  If you recall in 2012 Trump was thinking of running.  IMHO when it was clear that Romney was going to lose he held back.  Cruz and Walker emerged against all odds. No sooner did Cruz announce his candidacy so did Trump.  The 'uniparty' was in play.  They successfully took out Walker early on and they thought Cruz would be just as easy.  It didn't pan out that way. Rubio prevented Cruz from winning FL but since Rubio lost his home state he was no longer a player nor needed. The only player still left was Kasich and the uniparty (of which he is a part of) used him all the way to the finish.  Game over.

With all the intelligence you have on the back-room deals, you should write a book.  Seriously, I can't imagine anyone who voted for Kasich who, in the absence of Kasich would have voted for Cruz.  From experience to agendas, they have nothing in common.  And in any case, there is no scenario supporting such a theory short of any secret info you may be holding on to. 

[Mechanicos]

There are now only 2 choices. One is known real evil who will harm you and yours. Time to choose.

[libertyandfreedom]

Donald Trump.  Keeping it classy and uniting the party.

Quite frankly, I think you should back off with the attempted insult. I'm not acknowledging or purporting to being privy to any sort of secret info or 'back-room' deals.  I'm simply acknowledging the obvious, blatant corruption that is going on of which Trump is a party to. I'm simply connecting the very obvious dots. I definitely feel that a lot of people who voted for Kasich would vote for Cruz before they'd vote for Trump.  Clue #1:  Kasich isn't even showing his face at the convention.  Nope.  Don't see too many Kasich supporters leaning Trump.  A couple of things Cruz and Kasich have in common; they both know full well the functionality of the three branches of government, they are knowledgeable about the Constitution (especially Cruz) and both of them are fit and ready to be Commander in Chief.  I can't say any of those things about Trump.

[don-o]

So his strategy to win Ohio is to take potshots at its Governor?

Can there be any doubt that he's in the tank for Hillary?

[Mechanicos]

Many were concerned that Trump wasn't conservative enough. Now, the party platform is one of the most conservative platforms we've ever had. This could have not happened without Trump. I hope they come to understand this so that we all can defeat Crooked Hillary and get this country back on a Constitutional track.

Trump getting this country back on a Constitutional track?? His platform is one of the most conservative platforms we've ever had?          You're either pulling our leg or on some darn good drugs!

Yeah.  Reimposing Glass-Stegall,  restricting the media by altering the First Amendment, imposing more eminent domain, killing the families of terrorists are all conservative values.  /s

HE just can't help himself.

And he's still lying about that pledge, I see.

Attempted insult...where?  It seems to boil down to your dislike of Trump which leads to your conclusions about some kind of deal.  I continue to see Cruz as simply not likeable enough rather than other candidates undermining him.  No insult intended.

[Mechanicos]

Yes they all are. The fact you did not understand that is on you.

Trump sure has a way to further alienate his desperately needed voter base.

What it boils down to is I like a candidate who at least knows that we are a Republic not a democracy, the functions of the three branches of government and knowledge of the Constitution.  Obviously those expectations for president aren't as important to many as 'likeability'.   Silly me, I just don't see a very rich orange buffoon as a 'likeable' president, nor do I like anyone that will continue this country on its current path of destruction.

Get over yourself. You either do whats right for your own future or go to the stock cars under Hilary's watch while Rapefugess rape your daughters.
