OHIO IN PLAY – OLD LINE REPUBLICANS – THE OLD BOY’S CLUB CAN’T TAKE AN OUTSIDER

Favorite son John Kasich is like the Energizer Bunny, he keeps on running and running, where he stops nobody knows. This coming Tuesday Ohio holds the Republican primary; According to the most recent poll Kasich leads Trump by 5 points, but the gap is closing fast. And to top it off more of Kasich’s stalwarts said they may change their choice as the day gets closer.

On the other hand, less of Trumps fans indicate they will change their voting preference. Our prediction, and we have been wrong before, is that Trump will eek out a slim victory by 1 or 2%. Along with the win in Florida he will have cemented the nomination. Cruz and Rubio will be left in the dust.

Another sign of Trump steamrolling to victory is the likelihood of Jeb Bush throwing his support for anyone except Trump.  Don’t the Republicans get it; America is sick and tired of politics as usual. And to top it off the are fed up with the Bushes, an endorsement by him is seen as a negative. Energizer Bunny.png

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump pushed back Wednesday night against what appears to be a growing move among the party establishment — including a few of his former rivals — to at least slow down his march to the convention with enough delegates in hand to claim the nomination.

Speaking with Sean Hannity on a special Fox News town hall, Trump accused GOP lawmakers opposed to his campaign of “taking advantage of our country”.

The billionaire businessman called his campaign a movement “of competence and common sense and low taxes and [secure] borders and it would be so foolish to give it away.”

Trump was referring to a conference held by the conservative American Enterprise Institute at Sea Island off the coast of Georgia over the weekend, where one of the topics reportedly was stopping Trump from securing the Republican nomination.

The conference reportedly was attended by Senate Majority Mitch McConnell, House Speaker Paul Ryan and other key Republican congressmen.

“I know all these people,” Trump told Hannity. “These are people that are taking advantage of our country. They don’t want to have strong borders. They want stuff flowing across the borders. They don’t want to have taxation when countries treat us unfairly because they benefit from that.”

“Politicians will do what’s right for the people that gave them the money,” Trump added later, “not what’s right for the country.”
