Republican presidential hopeful John Kasich is sure that rival Donald Trump will not have enough delegates to clinch the party’s presidential nomination.
Kasich slammed the idea that he is the “spoiler” to any GOP efforts to stop Trump from winning the nomination, holding firm that he is “not going anywhere.”
“Am I a spoiler? Of course I’m not a spoiler,” the Ohio governor said with a laugh. “If I’m the only one that can beat Hillary in the fall, why would anybody say I should leave? I mean that’s just — that’s nuts!”
After host Alisyn Camerota noted that Trump can rack up the 1,237 delegates necessary before the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July, Kasich immediately shot back: “Everything is, you know, mathematically. How many times can we, you know, float around the moon or something, mathematically? Who cares about that? He’s not gonna have enough delegates. He’s gonna go there without enough delegates.”
Kasich, who said earlier this month that Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders is “spinnin’ out there around Pluto somewhere,” currently has 143 delegates to Trump’s 678.
