Kasich on MTP: Refuting everything 45 has done, and all of 45's memes.

And he's not no gop'ers with him: He claims republican voters dislike 45's chaos.

Now, answering Ingram, he tried to hem and haw.

But he is making sence about immigration.

He's trying to make a case for compassion: but all because of je-sus. Not because of america.

I think he's trying to position himself to run against -45 for the R nomination for 2020.

We'd be suriviving with Kasich: He wouldn't really be able to legislate all of his religion. And he doesn't talk about imperialism or international shenanigans. The gop were fools not to back him. They were afraid HRC would beat him, and I think she would have.

If you wiki him, he has a 40 yr histroy following his better tailored suit covered tush.

1-. "...9 terms as a member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Ohio's 12th congressional district from 1983 to 2001.[3] His tenure in the House included 18 years on the House Armed Services Committee and six years as chairman of the House Budget Committee. He was a key figure in the passage of both 1996 welfare reform legislation and the Balanced Budget Act of 1997.
2 -"Kasich worked for Fox News, hosting Heartland with John Kasich from 2001 to 2007 and was a fill-in host for The O'Reilly Factor. He also worked as an investment banker, serving as managing director of the Lehman Brothers office in Columbus, Ohio."That term as an invesyment banker screwed up alotta pensions for state employees & teachers
3- SB 5 tried to remove collective bargaining rights from state employees
4- several anti abortion measured signed by him.


There is more about him that makes him 1/2 step up from pond slime.
His Armed Services time give some credence & foreign policy chops.

Not only is he too far right for election as president, he has all the charisma of a turnip.

He’d be ok. He is a somewhat more intelligent version of Pence.
