Discussion: Kasich: An Open Convention Would Make Kids Love Politics

What utter nonsense. Kasich’s ego and pretend moderation has gotten him nowhere with the young folks I know. They aren’t fooled.

would that be like one of those Clockwork Orange deals where they tie the kids into seats and clip their eyes open while forcing them to listen to happy nonsense about how much they enjoy the event?

It’s going to be so much fun.

… because trashing millions of votes from their looney base is a barrel of laughs.

If they’d just allow guns in Quicken Loans Arena, it’d be even more of a blast.

I don’t know any “youngsters” who watch the Kardashians. I thought their audience was overweight rednecks in their mid 40s.

Kasich: We are already fighting like deranged kids; open convention is just a continuation.

Kasich is more half-right than I think he understands or admits. A whole cohort of voters whose formative political experience amounted to a slap in the face demonstration that their votes don’t count, would probably improve Republicans’ prospects in the long run.

Kids like professional wrestling, as well.

I sure hope so. He kinds scares me a bit since he seems so reasonable even though I know heis a real arch conservative but with the level of stupidity enveloping this country at the moment and the media doing everything it can to demonize HRC, it bothers me. I sure hope Trump is the candidate

These people get so far afield from reality they start to believe their own nonsense…no matter how outlandish.

He might as well scream “CHOOSE ME!” at the top of his lungs.

Yeah, and women will take off their aprons and vote for Dan Quayle because he looks like Robert Redford.

That’s what immediately came to mind. An open convention would be just like a WWE event. All we need are people to play the parts of Classy Freddie Blassie and Chief Jay Strongbow. (Giving away my age, much?)

Trump, of course, will simply be reprising his WWE appearances.

and depending on who the person is (Trump naturally being the exception), kids also like heels too.

If the Republicans go brokered convention I’m buying shares in Orville Redenbachers, Pop Weaver, Pop Secret, Popcorn Indiana, Kettlebrand, Newman’s Own and any others I can find.
Maybe even LaZ Boy too.

Politics be damned, this gon be gud.

Notice how the language has changed. Republicans have stopped using the term “brokered convention” and quietly starting using the more euphemistic term “open convention.” A very subtle change, but it makes it sound much more acceptable. No sleazy back room wheeling and dealing going on here, its all in the “open.”
