The "the moderates are leaving" narrative is a lie. The right left paradigm has shifted so far left for some that Trump is considered an extremist. Trump would have been considered a center-left Dem ala bill clinton or JFK 30 years ago. Stopping illegal immigration was a bipartisan platform as little as 9 years ago when Obama campaigned on it.

John Kasich is one of the most conservative elected Republicans in the country. You guys are trying to change the narrative on that guy, but it's a phony narrative.
Not sure what planet you're living on or perhaps you don't really know what a conservative is. It's more than being fiscally conservative. A conservative would NEVER support open borders and amnesty for illegals which Kasich proudly does.
He's a middle of the road Republican. Conservative on some issues, liberal on others. He's hardly one of the most conservative republicans in the country. I guess if you're a liberal leaning far left, he looks like a staunch conservative, but you're wrong about that.

He can take a seat at the "Trash Trump Table" on CNN, right next to another has been, Rick Santorum.

He actually thought people liked him and cared during the last election. He should have been one of the first to drop out.

20 years ago, Kasich was considered a hard line conservative. It’s not that he has moved left. The base of the party has turned to the far right and embraced positions that were once relegated to the fringe.

Kasich knows that the voters are going to purge Republicans of his ilk. They are tired of being told one thing in even numbered years and then the opposite is done in odd.numbered years.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Kasich very hard core conservative on social issues?

But even one progressive stance, expansion of Medicaid in Ohio, makes him a GOP sellout! Man, these days, you have to be 100% on one side or another!

Putting an "R" after your name doesn't make you a conservative.

Good riddance to bad RHINOS.
It surprises me how many people don't know what the correct acronym for Republican In Name Only is.

Stop. You guys just put Trump in office so excuse me if I don't buy your BS about who has proper conservative bonafides.

Again, if you guys want Roy Moore to be the mainstream of the Republican Party, forget it. We aren't about to let you foist that crap on us without some blood on the apron.

Pretty much. These posters are out of their damn minds.
