He's doing a fair job of reneging on his campaign promises- "Mexico will pay for the wall", "No more wars", "My healthcare will be better, cheaper"... Unless one is an ardent 100% died in the wool "I'll wear this goofy red hat to my grave" Trump bootlicker, the rest are getting pretty tired of it.

So is Congress.
He's simply following in the footsteps of those who came before him. It seemed to have worked for them.

I dont think so because it would split the Republican ticket as well.

Ralph Nader and Ron Paul, running together, both on anti-aging drugs?

I'd want Paul as the president - liberals are too vicey.

Paul and Nader gots betterments from mind and heart, respectively, or vice versively, than Kasich and Hickenlooper got much at all.

I think it's cute that you actually believe Trump is going to be on the 2020 ballot.

Also the Democrats don't have any strong candidates for 2020, unless Bernie wants to run again. No one in the party is letting Hillary run again after she lost to the Donald.

It still would be a Republican leader since the Republican would be at the top of the ticket. It obviously isn't a 50-50 split in power. Interesting idea, I personally believe it is a bit too strange and unconventional for it to work at the moment.

Would you guys say that these 2 politicians are more center? Must be, that would be the only way it could possibly work.
This would also technically be a 3rd party as well, even though it would be 2 candidates that are from original parties?

Agreed, he stayed above the fray while a lot of them were ready to whip out their..well, you know.

My biggest concern with Kasich is how he clamped down on women's choice in his state. That's a dealbreaker for me. But now that the R's get the Evangelical vote on that, I don't know if they can go back.

The only thing I know about Hickenlooper is that he was on Wait, Wait and they were trying to convince him to run in 2020. It was pretty funny.

That's all you can ask for. When you see something that works after you opposed it, you should be open to re-examining your opinion on it.

The Trumps won't be in politics after 2020, if they make it that far.
