To the Editor:

In virtually every primary Gov. John Kasich is coming in last place in a three-man race, yet he seems to have an expectation of being nominated in a contested convention. Can somebody out there explain to me how someone who is getting so few votes in his party’s primaries can win a national election, and, more important, why he would even want to be nominated when clearly almost all of his party’s voters in every state except the one in which he is governor do not want him to be their candidate?

Is this one of the greatest examples of arrogance and self-serving blind ambition by a political candidate in history, or just the result of a culture that gives out trophies for last place? I find Mr. Kasich’s behavior in this primary more disturbing than all of the other shenanigans that I have seen in a very embarrassing and pathetic primary season.

I believe that I speak for millions of my fellow conservative voters when I say that I will not vote for John Kasich under any circumstances.
