Mayow the around on the political talk shows over the weekend. He believes no one will arrive here in cleveland with no majority of the delegates he believes and that means he certain theyre headed for an open convention here in which he still has a chance tohe become his partys everybodys got a face the fact that were going to an open multi ballot convention. Thats where were headed. At en and the convention is an extension of what were going through right now. Ive been to a contention that tro was contested in 1976. What happens is the delegates will take everything seriously. Happn they will take a look at at electability. Y. And thats fine. I dont know why everyones so panicked about this. Kasich still has people within his own party trying to convince him to bow out, that doesnt seem likely to happen by the time the convention arrives here in his home state this summer.
