Almost everyone has accepted that Donald Trump is the presumptive GOP nominee after Tuesday’s victory in Indiana. Everyone except Gov. John Kasich.
IN Note on Facebook The Ohio governor’s campaign said Tuesday it has no intention of withdrawing from the race if Trump fails to secure 1,237 delegate votes before the convention.
“Our strategy was and is to win the nomination in an open convention,” the memo reads, drawing differences between Kasich’s “positive, inclusive approach” and Trump’s “dismissive musings.”
The memo goes on to provide five reasons why Kasich is not giving up: he can win a contested convention; he is the only Republican who can win in November; he offers the country a “bracing choice of hope, integration, and conservative reform”; he is not giving up because the future of America and the Republican Party is at stake; and, finally, he has the qualifications to be the next president.
“This is the tough choice Republicans face between now and when a candidate is elected in Cleveland. Governor Kasich looks forward to competing with Donald Trump in the upcoming California primary on June 7th.”t”, the note ends.
