John Kasich: If I win Ohio, GOP will get a "brokered convention"

After Thursday's Republican debate, where Donald Trump dominated much of the conversation, Ohio Gov. John Kasich laid out his path forward to the GOP nomination, predicting that a contested convention this summer will eventually stop Trump's rise.

"Frankly, if I win Ohio, we're probably gonna end up in a convention -- a brokered convention -- and then we're gonna find out who the adult is," Kasich said Thursday in an interview with CBS News' chief White House correspondent Major Garrett. The last time Republicans were close to a "brokered" convention, where no candidate has a clear-cut delegate victory, was in the 1976 primary between Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan.

"We don't have many states to be voting in," Kasich acknowledged, but he believes that "we'll hold our own in Mississippi, we'll hold our own in Michigan." He predicted, however, that he would not win Michigan.

Kasich is now the man of the hour.  Fresh off a good debate performance where he showed clearly that he's the adult in the room,  Ohio is shaping up as THE key contest.   If Kasich can win Ohio's 66 delagates,  a path will be cleared to a brokered convention.   If he loses to Trump, it's probably over and conservatism loses.   It's imperative, it seems to me, for Ohioans who oppose Trump, even if Cruz or Rubio's their first choice, to unite behind Kasich to deny Trump a victory.

Kasich is hoping that bringing Schwarzenegger to Ohio he will be able to pander to the large German population in Ohio.   A new low in pandering.  Ugh.  Schwarzenegger has dubious moral values.  Shame on Kasich.

"Kasich is now the man of the hour."

Are you talking about the Kasich who has yet to win even one primary? The Kasich who is shown behind Trump by 5 points in OH? (http://www.quinnipiac.edu/news-and-events/quinnipiac-university-poll/ohio/release-detail?ReleaseID=2325) Or some other John Kasich?
