Donald Trump - It just isn't fair to me

Now that it appears that the Toupee won't accumulate enough delegates to capture the Republican presidential nomination on the first ballot, he is whining that it isn't fair to him to allow Ohio Governor John Kasich to continue with his campaign.  Why?  Because the votes that Kasich gets are coming from potential Trump voters.

Now if it was Senator Ted Cruz who would benefit from Governor Kasich ending his campaign, Trump would probably do everything right up to and including funding the Kasich campaign to keep it going.  Whatever benefits Trump is fair to Trump.  That's rule #1 in the Trump rule book.  It's the only rule in the Trump rule book.

Mr. Trump's call for Governor Kasich to exit the primary race is yet another example of how little he actually understands our nation's political process.  The campaign trail is open to anyone who wants to seek the nomination, provided the meet the minimum legal requirements as set forth in the Constitution.  Should any of the candidates who were running earlier in the race for the 2016 Republican nomination were to decide to resurrect their campaign, they are free to do so.  The fact they could not possibly gain enough delegates to win the nomination is meaningless.  This idea that a candidate must quit the race when they are mathematically eliminated from gaining the nomination on the first ballot exists only in the hollows of the twisted pretzels of logic that roam freely in the mind of Donald Trump.

So Mr. Trump, stop whining about what isn't fair to you and campaign.
