Breaking: Kasich to Exit Race, Trump Now Unofficial GOP Nominee

• http://www.prisonplanet.com, Kit Daniels

John Kasich is exiting the GOP race, according to multiple sources.

Trump's last remaining competitor was scheduled to speak in Sterling, Virginia, but after Ted Cruz dropped out of the race, Kasich decided to hold a press conference in Columbus, Ohio, fueling speculation he was also leaving the race.

Since then his senior campaign adviser said his campaign was over.

It was unlikely Kasich could do anything to block Trump's nomination because the GOP frontrunner only needs 190 out of the 520 delegates left remaining to reach 1,237, and Trump would gain the vast majority of those in California where he holds a tremendous lead in the polls before the state's June 7 primary.

The left-leaning Kasich, who only won his home state of Ohio, was mathematically eliminated from the race months ago and only remained in the race to keep Trump from winning the nomination without a contested convention.
