John Kasich To Drop Out, Leaving Trump as GOP Nominee (vox.com)

Multiple outlets are reporting that Ohio Gov. John Kasich plans to suspend his run to be the GOP presidential nominee. The move, if happens, would make Donald Trump the presumptive nominee for the GOP. The report comes hours after Kasich abruptly cancelled a planned press conference (could be paywalled; alternate source) in Virginia on Wednesday morning. LA Times reports: Kasich, the Ohio governor, had pledged to continue campaigning as a Trump alternative who could deny the billionaire needed delegates. But on Wednesday, he canceled a news conference in Washington and planned an announcement for later in the day in Columbus, Ohio, to drop out. Vox has more details.

Re:And the election was handed to Hillary Clinton

real concerns.

Man, y'all been trying to pin some nefarious shit on her since she was back in Little Rock, and all it's ever done is make you look silly. You've bounced around from Whitewater to the assassination of Vince Foster right up to Benghazi and now ServerGate. There have been more congressional investigations into Hillary Clinton than any human being in history. I mean, seventy-two weeks worth of investigations into Benghazi alone, with millions flushed down the crapper. All to prove...nothing.

Now I have no interest in seeing Hillary Clinton become president, but got damn she's made your ilk look like Wile E Coyote falling off a cliff onto a wood chipper for decades now. You might want to think about getting a hobby.

It's the beginning...
