One must have their brain extracted through their nose and stored in a canopic jar. I think they get Ben Carson to do it.

I won’t support him in any way, but let him do the dirty work of ripping the guts out of the Dumpsters.

I may help encourage turmoil in the Repuke party in order to destroy it.

nominees running, none would drop out, and they killed each other off, with 35% of the republican base racist, sexist, bigots, they stayed united behind trump, while the other repukes were killing each other off. I believe they had 20 candidates

Something that pops in my head is, that Kasich has to know he is gonna be a spoiler candidate. This isnt Europe, where you'll have 30 candidates running for office.

Here it's a 2 party system. Perot, Nader, Green. He has to know that he is gonna cause Trump to loose. Or he just likes to hear himself talk. But I dont get that from him.

I think he is a genuine person who just happens to have different point of view as to how to run a country. That used to be ok *B.T.. We'll see how that goes for us *A.T.

*Before Trump
*After Trump
Patent pending.

for the republican nomination.

The problem I believe he will have is the republican party has sold their soul to the devil, (literally), and I can't see most of them not backing trump

The orange maggot is dividing us on bs stuff. It’s like bullies who are only me, me , me vs civil people who want everyone to have an equal shot in life. They’ve always been with us and suppressed, now they are in power. Goldwater and Wallace on steroids with guns.

He thinks he's going to challenge Trump for the presidency. He got killed by Trump in 2016 and Trump is now more popular with Republicans than he was in the primary and Kasich is less popular. He's probably just doing it so he can go around eating and looking like an idiot.
