So far Kasich isn't going to the Convention and has planned several outside events in the area.  Then there's mention of Romney ... really??

Anti-Trump Republicans urge Kasich to run as part of last-ditch bid

The stop-Trump movement isn't dead yet -- and Ohio Gov. John Kasich could be their last hope.

Republicans opposed to Donald Trump’s 2016 bid reportedly are making a fresh pitch for Kasich to step up as an alternative candidate ahead of the party’s convention in Cleveland. Former New Hampshire Sen. Gordon Humphrey asked Kasich allies Sunday to contact the former presidential candidate and urge him to offer himself as an alternative at the convention, according to Cleveland.com.

"Given our shared effort in the Kasich campaign, I am sure you agree," Humphrey reportedly wrote. "But, John needs encouragement to make the move. Please email John and offer him your encouragement and continued backing. ... It's not going to get better than this, but time is of the essence."

Humphrey’s email highlights a key difficulty the anti-Trump Republican have faced – they don’t have an alternative candidate waiting in the wings as a rallying point for those opposed to the billionaire’s nomination.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Former Sen. Gordon Humphrey, a real political powerhouse. Somebody felt their story deadline fast approaching, and got him to comment apparently.

He failed twice for NH Governor most recently as for his own political career.
