Despite it literally being impossible for John Kasich to gain the necessary delegate count, the presidential candidate said he would pardon himself only if he lost the primary in his home state of Ohio — but he came out on top and soldiered on as promised.

During last night's interview with FOX's Greta Van Susteren, Kasich stressed that he's the only GOP candidate to consistently beat Hillary Clinton in polls, and by the largest margin.

But unsurprisingly, the biggest advocates for Kasich's dismissmal from the race have been his GOP counterparts, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.

Still Kasich insists that he's not going anywhere...
