Wasn't Kasich still going to be on the ballot in Indiana, even though he "agreed" not to campaign there?

I would think that a vote for him would be more meaningful than a vote for a candidate who's fictional, or dead.
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Well, yesterday there was a poll that showed Cruz ahead. Trump was in Terre Haute today, not sure about Teddy, maybe he is off on a picnic.

Things sure change quickly. It looks like another clear victory for the Drumpf.

Ain't no stoppin' him now.

I am sitting here with tornado sirens going off having a giggle at the politicians enjoying May in Indiana.

Was his first name "None"?

Now there's the difference between you Brits and the Americans.  We both have our eccentrics, we know who they are, but in Britain they (and their "supporters") know their place and position in the greater scheme of things.  They have their fun; you let them do it; and at the end of the day everyone goes home happy and things continue along normally (for a given value of 'normal').

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

David Edward Sutch (10 November 1940 – 16 June 1999), also known as 3rd Earl of Harrow, or simply Screaming Lord Sutch, was an English musician.

He was the founder of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party and served as its leader from 1983 to 1999, during which time he stood in numerous parliamentary elections. He holds the record for losing all 40 elections in which he stood.

As a singer he variously worked with Keith Moon, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmore, Charlie Watts and Nicky Hopkins.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screaming_Lord_Sutch
The Official Monster Raving Loony Party is a registered political party established in the United Kingdom in 1983 by the musician David Sutch (1940–1999), better known as "Screaming Lord Sutch, 3rd Earl of Harrow" or simply "Screaming Lord Sutch".

It is notable for its deliberately bizarre policies and it effectively exists to satirise British politics, and to offer itself as an poignant alternative for protest voters, especially in constituencies where the party holding the seat is unlikely to lose it and everyone else's vote would be quietly wasted.
