You worry about your country about as much as I worry about being kidnapped and assaulted by roving bands of zombie Amish teenagers.
You are a phony and a cad, Mr. Kasich, as you have always been. You are not a sensible moderate. You are a hard-right Republican autocratic Christianist and have always been so, no matter how the media tries to normalize you. If you were a Senator instead of the governor of Ohio you would have voted 99% for the Trump agenda. So you can kiss my proudly non-Republican, patriotic ass.
Kasich running again = even more of a nonevent than the first time.
What’s up with all the Republicans on tv today?
He was the most plausible non-crazy, non-corrupt (well, there was that Lehman business…), competent candidate in 2016. And he still came in fourth in the delegate count.
But yeah, go ahead, run and save the country. Call the Never-Trumpers’ bluff. And when you lose, you will know that your party is dead. (As if Trump winning, and second place being Ted Cruz with over three times as many delegates as third place isn’t enough to pronounce.)
(( And yes, there is a Republican party, and yes, what it is now is a consequence of decades of southern strategy, Reaganism, Gingrichism, the Hastert rule, tea party, and Koch-heads. But it is in no way the party that Kasich thinks it is, and that one could plausibly argue that it was in the 50s citing Eisenhower as example and McCarthy and Birchers as aberrations…))
Behind that mild mannered, concerned façade lies great depths of insouciancy. Or in other words, an empty taxi drove up to the Ohio state capital and John Kasich stepped out. (h/t [attr.]W.S. Churchill).
I wish the media would stop giving this attention whore attention.
I don’t. I want him to run. I want him to stay in the race as long as possible.
Bush 41, Carter and Ford all lost after facing credible primary challenges. LBJ dropped out rather than face one.
Kasich won’t win a Republican primary, because the remaining Republican base has decided to abdicate any pretense of civility. They don’t want polite racism and sexism, veiled behind a veneer of plausible deniability. They want “lock her up” and “monkey it up.”
But anything and anyone who is willing to assist in making Trump a one term president is fine by me.
Media trying to prove they’re not biased towards liberals/Democrats?
Kavanaugh hearings start this Tuesday?
Trying to stop the blue wave?
That’s been their number one goal since the inception of Fox - and it’s damaged political discourse and the country considerably.
This raises a very important question:
Who cares?
No one in Ohio, Kasich would lose the state this time.
Fun Fact: If all the Democrats stick together and only one Rethugliklan senator joins them in not showing up, the Senate won’t have a quorum and everything will come to a screeching halt, the whole process dead in the water.
If.
Because it ends with the word “day”.
I was going to concern myself with the monumental news of John Kasich possibly running for president, but I promised my neighbor I would go next door and paint the toenails of his pet iguana. Priorities, people!
John Kasich. I’ve seen more personality in a pound of olive loaf.
What color, contrast, complement, or blend?
I hope you are referring to the lunch meat and not the bread. The olive loaf bread is divine.
OMG! I immediately had the same questions.
“,but at the end, I worry about my country.”
So do we, brother.
Here’s a little “fake news” - just for the entertainment value. I doubt I’d vote for this ticket.
