Anti-Trump Groups Determined to Soldier On
Johnny "one state" Kasich to the rescue?

Even after Donald Trump’s projected win in the Indiana primary -- his 28th victory so far this primary season -- those determined to stop him say they will soldier on.

After Trump was deemed the winner of the Indiana competitor, Ted Cruz, his closest competitor in both delegates and votes, announced he was suspending his campaign. But Ohio Gov. John Kasich is still planning to compete until Trump reaches 1,237 bound delegates.

"Our strategy has been and continues to be one that involves winning the nomination at an open convention," Kasich's chief strategist, John Weaver, wrote in a memo after Trump's victory was announced. Weaver noted that the campaign had already secured a plurality of Indiana delegates that supported their candidate, should the convention advance to a second ballot.

If you have a 1% chance of stopping Trump, there is nothing but honor in going for it.

I doubt it's honor is Kasich's case.

In spite of what he has said about it, I think he's angling for the VP slot.

He won't get it. Trump will want a life-insurance veep.

Kasich is destroying his future in politics.

Good for Kasich. There will be a reckoning in years to come of those in the GOP establishment who chose to back Trump.

Unless he wins. Then the reckoning will be visited on those who dared to oppose him.

It depends if he has a successful Presidency. If he goes down in flames, not so much.

The chances of that happening are vanishingly small and the purge will come early. Any rehabilitations which may occur in the aftermath will be irrelevant.

Sounds like business as usual in Democrat / Republican party politics.
