If Kasich was not on the ballot, I would vote Trump.

Then it sucks for Trump that extraneous options are distracting the lowly educated.  :)

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I read a story that in Iowa a high school basketball team with lots of hispanics was getting heckled with "Trump!" chants at away games.

That's fairly typical IMO.  High school fans can get about as nasty as college basketball fans these days.  They'll try to find anything to heckle the other team over if they think it will resonate.  It's insensitive for sure, but probably more of a function of school spirit than anything else.

IIRC there was one high school in California where students got in trouble for chanting "USA, USA!!" when their team was hosting a high school where a lot of Mexican illegal immigrant kids attended.

:hmm: Why?

People here really, really hate Trump.  Plus I was a bit surprised Phil would vote for him.

Only a few people in line at my Virginia voting station.  Quick and easy.  John Kasich now has one additional vote.

I'm telling you the same thing I told my father--who actually switched to the republican party just to vote against trump and then voted for kasich--you are a trump enabler.

I get it the idea--if I had a choice to unilaterally pick the president among all the candidates remaining--democrat and republican--kasich could easily be my choice. But he isn't going to win, and won't get any delegates out of Virginia. Rubio or Cruz might.

If Kasich was not on the ballot, I would vote Trump.

Yeah, if I were to vote Republican, my order of picks with the current bunch would be Kasich, Trump, Carson, Rubio and Cruz.
