If you're a supporter of Marco Rubio in Ohio, the Rubio campaign would rather you vote for John Kasich. Rubio communications director Alex Conant actually suggested such a strategy Friday, indicating that if Republican voters really want to vanquish Donald Trump in the Buckeye State's GOP primary Tuesday, Ohio Gov. John Kasich is the candidate they should cast their vote for instead.

"If you are a Republican primary voter in Ohio and you want to defeat Donald Trump, your best chance in Ohio is John Kasich," Conant told CNN.
