Kasich tries to evangelize hasidic Jews during campaign-stop in NY

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/04/oy-vey-john-kasich-jesus-splains-to-new-york-jews-how-passover-is-linked-to-christs-blood/

“It’s a wonderful, wonderful holiday for our friends in the Jewish community – the Passover,” Kasich opined, before referencing the blood of Christ.

“The great link between the blood that was put above the lamp posts,” he said, seemingly unaware that “lamp posts” were not in the Passover story. “The blood of the lamb, because Jesus Christ is known as the lamb of God. It’s his blood, we believe…”

At that point, his speech was interrupted by the subway passing overhead on elevated tracks.

...

“Talking about Christ’s blood during a visit to Borough Park? Oy vey,” Heilman wrote. “Please, somebody, prep this guy Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn want to hear about food stamps, affordable housing, Medicaid. Ix-nay on the Jesus-nay.”

.... President someday.

BTW I used to know John.

John is also in deep denial about his run for POTUS because his chances are zero because
he hasn't won one state outside of Ohio (his home state), he is polling in the mid to low
teens, and he has come 3rd in 3 person races aka last place.

My main problem with John Kasich in the video at the link is how rude Kasich seems. At times it seemed like he did not even want to be there. When he was getting in the car to leave he did not seems to be looking at the guy that was telling him goodbye. Kasich said goodbye, but was looking in a different direction from the guy who was speaking to him.
