Marco Rubio’s campaign spokesman Alex Conant said Friday that Rubio supporters in Ohio seeking to block Donald Trump from the nomination should vote for John Kasich, who has the best shot against the front-runner in the Buckeye State.

“I’m just stating the obvious, if you’re a Republican primary voter in Ohio and you want to beat Donald Trump, you’re best chance in Ohio is John Kasich, because John Kasich is the sitting governor and he’s closest to Donald Trump in some of the polls there,” Conant said on CNN.

“The same is true here in Florida, where if you want to beat Donald Trump here in Florida where there’s 99 delegates at stake, you need to vote for Marco Rubio because he’s the only one with a mathematical shot.”

1. Rubio has fallen behind Kasich in the latest polls in Illinois and Maryland. And he finished behind

Kasich in Mississippi and Michigan. His campaign is just about over.

2. I'll bet that Kasich will win Ohio but Trump will win Florida

and then it's Goodbye Little Marco.

3. "Don't vote for us cause we're better"

Vote for us cause we're not him. Great strategy. Sadly, it often works.

6. My vote belongs to me and I alone get to decide the criteria for earning it. If I decide that my #1

issue is how a candidate's hair is parted, that is my call to make. Anyone dying their hair is eliminated from consideration for my vote.

If I want to vote for her because her 3rd cousin drives a Yugo, or vote for him because he doesn't, that's my business and mine alone.

I don't need any snot-nosed, bought & paid-for corporate elite "media" defining what issues are legitimate and which are not.

7. There's a bit of a nascent #NotTrump coalition between the 3 remaining GOP primary opponents. n/t

4. I detest Kasich....

I wouldn't even do it for the team....to vote for Kasich for strategy.

5. Kasich is Walker and Snyder. Peas in a pod.

The lawless republican governors and legislators should be cleared away.
For the sake of our children.
