MILWAUKEE – The presidential candidates are getting ready for Tuesday’s primary in Wisconsin and Republican front-runner Donald Trump is telling rival John Kasich to get out of the race because he is in the way.
Trump says, “If I didn’t have Kasich, I automatically win.”

The Oiho governor’s only primary victory has been in his home state but his campaign is arguing that neither Trump nor Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas would have enough delegates to win the nomination outright at the GOP convention.

And that’s okay with Kasich, who thinks an open Republican convention in Cleveland could prove to be civics-lesson time for the country.
“This is going to be a incredible learning experience for Americans and it’s going to be a transparent convention, unlike any others,” he told reporters in Wisconsin over the weekend.
Kasich told ABC’s “This Week” that an open convention will hold the country’s interest so much that kids will spend less time following the Kardashians and Justin Bieber and more time focusing on “on how we elect presidents.”
