Paul Manafort: John Kasich is ‘embarrassing’ Ohio

[OnDoutside]

And it continues !

Donald Trump’s campaign chairman on Monday said that Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who is scheduled to be in Cleveland during the Republican National Convention but won’t necessarily attend the convention itself, is “embarrassing” the state with his actions.

“He’s making a big mistake,” Mr. Manafort said of Mr. Kasich on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “He’s looking at something that’s not going to happen, he’s hurting his state — he’s embarrassing [the] state, frankly.”

Mr. Kasich’s team put out a list of events the governor plans to attend in and around Cleveland this week that includes events with the Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire delegations. But the former 2016 GOP presidential contender has still refused to endorse Mr. Trump.


“But most of the Republicans who aren’t coming are people who have been part of the past,” Mr. Manafort said. “People who are part of the future of the Republican party are frankly going to be here participating in the program.”

“What we’re trying to accomplish is not to have a heavily laden program of politicians, but the goal of this convention for Donald Trump is to show the rest of the story of who Donald Trump is,” he said.

1. Everything said in this convention mounts to projections!

They think they're using words as weapons to destroy others but everything said might as well be seen as personal confessions!

2. sorry Manafort...

people with a brain already know who dumdum really is....and none of it is good. and BTW ... the speakers? Tell us which ones are the "future of the republican party?" You mean Baio? really? Crooks like the florida attorney general? really? Ben Carson? really? need I go on?

doomed.

6. Trump is embarassing the WORLD!

Manafort is just a paid shill who will say anything for buck. Why else would any sane human being back Trump? The man is a pathetic pathological liar and narcissist......which makes him a perfect candidate to be a politician...by today's standards.

7. I can't stand Kasich

who is no moderate by the way. He is a complete jerk. That being said, I don't blame him for wanting no part of Trump...when a candidate can't meet the standards of a secret hard right guy like Kasich, he is doomed. I live in Ohio and will not be going to Cleveland...hey GOP treat or city right...we have worked hard to make it nice.

9. Honestly, his refusal to back tRump is one of the few things I like about the gov!

And I wouldn't go up to Cleveland on a bet this week (Columbus area resident, here)

14. That is true. And he did expand Medicare but now is trying to kick people off. nt

8. The entire RepubliCon Party is an embarrassment!

It is our great national shame.

11. I honestly think that when the GE season gets into full steam, there will be a much wider

Hillary-Trump gap, and the recriminations will start before Election Day itself. Sometimes one is afraid to recognise what is before our eyes, for fear something will go wrong, but the Clinton campaign is clearly vastly superior to Trump, and Manafort proves here, as campaign manager, that he can't even keep it together himself. I fully believe that the groundwork the Clinton Campaign has done in portraying Trump as a virtual sideshow, will bear massive fruit when the real fight begins in September.

12. Yes, and Rump is completely delusional if he thinks he can really compete

against brilliant Hillary, can't wait for her debate slaughter of Dim Don, and the fantastic Team Clinton Campaign. Let the games begin!
