Discussion: Kasich: My Campaign Won't Drag 'Like Some Band Of Minstrels'

TeenLaQueefa: he would work to reunite Pink Floyd as President and get them to play “Money”
You might want to ask them before you go making silly promises.

won’t drag on “like some band of minstrels”

"Bravely bold Sir Kaisch
Rode forth from Camelot
He was not afraid to die
Oh, brave Sir Kaisch
He was not at all afraid
To be killed in nasty ways
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Kaisch

Brave Sir Kaisch ran away
(No!)
Bravely ran away away
(I didn’t!)
When danger reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled
(No!)
Yes, brave Sir Kaisch turned about
(I didn’t!)
And gallantly he chickened out

Bravely taking to his feet
(I never did!)
He beat a very brave retreat
(All lies!)
Bravest of the brave, Sir Kaisch!
(I never!)

Christ, I wish I was up on my gif game.

Yes, and then we’ll hear the Pathetic Punditry Patrol mourning the loss of another Republican “moderate”.
John Kasich is about as moderate as Joseph Stalin.

…even after the New York Times identified him as the only adult in the GOP room? And with that (Pink Floyd) platform to run on? It’s our loss…

I have a better chance of reuniting my beloved Beatles - and two of them are dead!

Hey, if Kasich can get at least one person to clap after his speech, he’ll be way ahead of JEB!?

Meaning, “If I don’t choke to death on a chicken bone or pee in my pants.”

Actually, this promise makes me like him more. I would still not vote for him, but he’s the only sane one over on that side of the street. He’s not a nut, and apparently he has a taste for good music and a sense of humor.

He still thinks there’s 100M Reagan Democrats out there. They’re not called Reagan Democrats anymore, John. They’re called “Teabaggers”.

I see it as a clever dig at Jebya rather than hearkening the black-face minstrel tradition. John Kasich, as are many of us, is a Hootenanny era kid, when "mighty winds were ablowin’ " across America, scattering divers groups of minstrelsy like trash on a fairground.

Mr. Kasich, I think a more appropriate Pink Floyd song for you would be, “Be Careful With That Ax, Eugene”. But I would greatly doubt if Kasich was or will ever be cool enough to have heard that one. He was probably too busy lecturing his fellow HS students about the inherent dangers of smoking meereejeewanna!

“Mammy! Don’t ya know me?! I’m a Republican moderate!”

Those who don’t know Stalin or Hitler are condemned to repeat their names.

Usually inappropriately.

Not as long as Yoko Ono is alive, you won’t!

“That’s better than ‘Uncomfortably Numb,’” CNN host Dana Bash joked, referencing another Pink Floyd smash hit.

Oh, snap!

It’s his Rubio non-endorsement endorsement.

Nah, I never hesitate to call out these guys’ racism and race-baiting, but his image is clearly of the medieval wandering minstrels. (Curse those black-face “entertainments” for, among far worse things, sullying a perfectly lovely old word.)

(Ah, I see @eatbees beat me to it…)

If he wins the nomination I think he’ll be the next President but I thought the same thing about Jon Huntsman.
