“Republican presidential hopeful John Kasich says he’s the state Senate Republicans’ best hope for maintaining their razor-thin grip on power … Speaking to reporters beforehand, Kasich revealed part of his pitch: If Donald Trump or Texas Sen. Ted Cruz win the GOP nod, it will hurt the Republican senators’ chances at winning in November. “I will tell you the majority in the New York State Senate will not be a majority with the other two guys being the nominee of the party,” Kasich said. “So what we really need to do is get these people, these critics, to get behind me and get their people to drop out so we can actually beat Hillary Clinton.” …”
No.
I bet Kasich has been getting advice from the likes of Al D’Amato and/or RINO political consultants from the NYC metro area. The same guys who ran the state Republican party into the ground by making it Democrat-lite. The last thing they need to do is to get behind a candidate who would remind voters of George Pataki.
