Kasich is Pence without the religious veneer.

Without the religious veneer, Pence is nothing but dripping melted evil!

“Oh what a world what a world!”

Kasich can kiss my ass. Like all politicians who still are hitching their futures to the Republican Party, he’s still putting his own ambitions before his nation’s interests. Otherwise he wouldn’t have endorsed Balderson.

Every true American knows that Republican retention of the House of Representatives into 2019 spells disaster for our constitutional form of government. But Kasich still thinks he has a good chance at winning the presidential nomination in 2020, so he’s happily doing the un-American thing by endorsing O’Connor.

This was a test of honor and patriotism. Kasich failed just as he failed 20 years ago when he served as a tool for Newt Gingrich’s degradation of American politics.

Yeah John, get back to us when you actually do something about the anal cancer Trump is to your Party, like say quit that party. Till then, GFY.

Please proceed, Governor…

Actually, his name is pronounced “Dotard” and he originally hails from a part of NY called “sh*thole.”

Oh, and - nice burn Mr. Kasich. Sure, he’s hoping by 2020, Rethug voters will want an “adult” in the Party. But no, sorry, John - you’re Party’s been completely infested with vermin. Don’t hold your breath.

As @daveminnj put it, Cotton will be their standard bearer before Kasich will.

I’m not defending Kasich, I just found using Putin in his response hilarious. You know it’s going to set Trump off on a Twitter rampage.

And I don’t see any downside in having Trump and Kasich at each others throat for the next two years.

Just fyi, it was Ohio’s GOP senator, Portman, who was Bush’s budget guy (a resume item I still can’t believe didn’t kill his electoral chances); though Kasich was the GOP Congress’ budget guy as part of the Gingrich “revolution” of the 1990s, so the confusion’s understandable. And you’re spot-on about the rest; I live in fear of the never-Trumpers’ worship, and the media’s fawning coverage, when he announces for 2020.

I’ll bet you’re right.

(this is just a weak rumor. Fun to consider, but I’d rather not see become reality)

It is so important to remember exactly who these Republicans are.

Kasich is exactly who you have described a man who acts against workers but does it without the racism and overt misogyny.

No head scracthing necessary. tRump views African Americans as stupid and has that classic racist view that African Americans have low IQs.

tRump is showing how racist he truly is-
as if his comments about Mexicans at his campaign launch wasn’t proof enough,
his neglect of Puerto Rico wasn’t proof enough,
his shithole nation comment was proof enough,
his holding Dreamers hostage wasn’t proof enough,
his kidnapping of immigrant children wasn’t proof enough,
his personal attacks on April Ryan, LeBron James, Don Lemon and Maxine Waters wasn’t enough,
his embrace of White Supremacist rhetoric and instilling that into his immigration policies and combined with all of the above shows this POTUS is truly David Dukes’ wetdream of a president.

I just wanted to be clear on that…
