“You can’t help but know how government burdens those job creators,” he said. “So that is where the light bulb went off for me.”
It was a 100-watt incandescent bulb – its time has passed.

Nothing to see here, this guy is in thick as a thief and isn’t about to make waves.
From what I read, he appears to be a carbon cut-out of the modern conservative, basically unrealistic and all about lowering taxes and blah, blah, blah.
He and Ryan should work well together in their attempts at moving the wealth to the very top and making sure that it comes from the middle on down. And, if they really, really try hard, they might just repeal Obamacare after Hillary’s two terms are up and a Castro is in the White House and 100 million people or so are dependent on it.
Yeah-right.

“Brady said he became a Republican while working for the chambers…” Sounds like the classic “Nothing prevents a person from understanding an idea, than that his salary depends on him not understanding it.”

Kasich also grew up in a Democratic and union family. The “Reagan Democrat” migration should not be unthinkingly dismissed as a “racist reaction”. Unless the Democratic Party actively seeks the return of alienated voters everywhere, and actively supports the candidacys of “Blue Dog” politicians who appeal to such voters, “liberals” won’t have a viable party to pass their own agenda. Remember, that we would not have the ACA today, if negotiated accommodations had not been reached with Bart Stupak (D-MI) and his bloc of pro-life House Democrats.
The economic populism of Bernie Sanders is something else that touches and appeals to voters of any registered affiliation. Sane economic justice reforms that benefit 99.1% of Americans, regardless of other divisive issues, is dynamic stump material to run a broadly winning campaign. It is more broadly appealing than nominating SCOTUS justices agreeable to our side of divisive social issues, which are already law! If Democrats retain the White House, the SCOTUS appointments will happen as a matter of course. Running a campaign to overtly incite the fears of already supportive partisans, but few others; and which also confirms the hostility of our “un-Christian aims” as a campaign issue, is a strategy for Democrats to lose that important domicile.
