Republicans Try to Get Kasich On Board

CNN: “With just seven days until the GOP convention, the quest to convince Kasich to back Donald Trump — or even participate in the convention he campaigned to bring to Cleveland — has been quiet but feverish.”

“RNC Chairman Reince Priebus has pressed Kasich allies, even promising that donors will spring to aid Kasich’s future endeavors if he cooperates now. Trump’s top aide, Paul Manafort, has touted their increasingly professional campaign operation in the hopes of winning over the Ohio governor. Even vice presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich is joining the mix, lobbing a last minute plea to Kasich’s team to get the governor to back Trump.”
