Kasich taking voters from Bernie?

[snowy owl]

Anybody else think Kasich turned the election by syphoning Bernie voters? I wonder what his ads said in Ohio? Trump is up now and may win. So if Kasich did that, he gave the state to Trump and Clinton. What a travesty. What an ego.

1. He screwed himself as well because he said if he loses his own state he's out.

2. So? That's the name of the game.

Politics is dirty business.

3. Doubt it

Bernie owns the Indpendants. Bernie loses Dem's by about 20 points. If they are flipping then it would hurt Hillary IMO.

9. Kasich got a few of those too

[JaneyVee]

4. I read that it would actually hurt Hillary more.

5. there were lots of Democratic crossovers that voted for Kasich

[Blanks]

13. I've said for some time...

That Kasich is the biggest threat. He's the only candidate that has any chance of beating either of the democratic candidates.

On the one hand I'd like to see him get the nomination because he seems the least ridiculous of the republicans, on the other hand, he has a better chance of winning, and I don't want to see that.

6. Ohio has closed primaries

Somebody registered as a democrat cant vote in the republican primary.

Also, Kasich wants to win an election. I cant get mad at the guy for trying to appeal to all voters.

10. no they don't I am in Ohio

open primary

[Travis_0004]

17. Good to know

I live in Ohio too and didnt realize it was semi open. I dont bother with primaries anyway.

[Snotcicles]

20. Wrong it's open. nt

8. I suspect he took from both Clinton and Bernie...The Trump unifying effect

[LuvLoogie]

11. Nope. It's the other way around. Bernie has been poaching Republican and Independent anti-Hillary

voters in open primaries. Except for Ohio. Kasich is the Governor of Ohio, and they are not giving him up to Trump just to stick it to Hillary.

The Revolution is highly invested in its serendipitous proxy war. No right-wing cavalry for Bernie today, maybe? But it's early. I could be wrong.

[Skwmom]

12. I think Trump took from Bernie b/c they beat the Trump must take Ohio drum and the Clinton is the

Dem nominee no matter what drum.

[snowy owl]

14. I wondered - what did the Kasich ads claim?

I think you answered that. Kasich is extreme right-wing from what I read. So, a state that could have gone to Bernie - with those same unhappy voters - may have gone to Kasich? Something happened in Ohio.

15. it's not working out for bernie tonight.

[calguy]

16. No. Hillary is taking votes away from Bernie

Bernie ran a good race, but after tonight rhe writing is pretty much on the wall.

[rbrnmw]

18. I think Kasich took Bernie's independents

and some Democrats upset by the violence toward Bernie supporters at Trump rallies

[restorefreedom]

19. yes. he and romney fucked us over

i relish the thought of seeing trump crush him in every remaining state till the loser slinks away.
